I have wanted to share this video about living in Las Vegas for some time. As someone who was leaving California for Nevada, I knew that there were going to be differences between the two states that I had read about and talked over with other people. However, after moving to Las Vegas from California, I can certainly see some notable differences between the Golden State of CA and the Silver State of NV.

Shopping for produce:
The first few times I went grocery shopping in Las Vegas I did not feel like the produce was quite as fresh as it is in CA. Then again, I was born in Modesto, CA. The San Joaquin Valley has a large part of its economy based on agriculture, so I was VERY CLOSE to fresh produce every day of my life. Don't get me wrong-the produce in Las Vegas is just fine and perfectly edible (we are still in America), but it was something that stood out to me right away.

Traffic Laws:
There is no debate at all between which state is more lenient when it comes to getting a traffic ticket. I got my first speeding ticket after living in Las Vegas for about a year. I was so used to the system in CA, and was very unfamiliar with the ticket system in Nevada. I must admit that it was a far more pleasant experience getting a ticket in Nevada than it was in CA.

State Taxes:
I have talked about this topic briefly in the past. Nevada has one of the lowest overall tax burdens out of all of the states in the country. CA is pretty much at the opposite end of the spectrum. Another state tax increase was passed in the fall of 2012 in CA just before I left. The state tax increase officially made CA the state with the highest state income tax in the union. In Nevada our state income tax is a whopping 0%!

Veteran Support:
This just comes more from a gut feeling and what I have witnessed in daily life. Here in Las Vegas I hear commercials on the radio supporting local businesses to hire veterans for work. In nightlife I will commonly hear doormen tell patrons "Thank you for your service" after they check their military ID. The local emphasis to employ veterans and the hospitality towards military personnel that I have seen here lead me to believe that Nevada is more supportive of veterans and the military than CA.

Gun Laws and Gun Culture:
It almost seems as if the gun laws in Nevada could not be any more different than the gun laws in CA. The last time I checked CA had a gun ownership rate of about 24% while Nevada has a gun ownership rate of about 40%. Las Vegas really was a cowboy town until about the 1980s when the population growth began increasing. Even today in Vegas there is still a lot of rural influence from ranchers, and we still have quite a few horse properties out here. When you get into rural Nevada the culture is even stronger. With all of the gun ranges we have in Vegas, the outdoor and hunting options available, it becomes pretty evident that Nevada has a much stronger gun culture than CA.

Business environment:
CA has a strong reputation for being a state that is not business friendly. The strong regulations and high taxes in CA make it more difficult on business owners. Nevada is commonly considered to be much more business friendly, largely due to its low tax environment. Simply having an llc in Nevada vs California is more cost efficient in Nevada because of the additional tax that CA has. The state is trying to attract more entrepreneurs to come to and open businesses in Nevada. Whether you are a sole proprietor or want to be an llc, you will find that opening a business in Nevada is generally much easier than in CA.

Those are the biggest differences I first noticed when I was leaving California and moving to Las Vegas, NV. If there is something I missed please be sure to share it in the comment section below!
