Lots of things to do

On the not so positive side
Here are a few things to be aware of, though, when considering moving to Nevada.
Lots of traffic
Traffic at commuting times can be extremely heavy so it’s best to commute by train.
High crime rate
The crime rate depends, of course, on where exactly youlive, but overall, Nevada has a higher crime rate than most other US cities if you’re planning on raising a family. One more reason to have a system in place for secure payment for goods and services.
