Las Vegas Real Estate Blog

With the prices of homes still out of reach for some seniors, there is a great alternative to buying a condominium or renting, River Mountain Mobile Estates. This small, well maintained community of manufactured homes is located in the city of Henderson in the southeast.

While the community does not have any amenities per say, the association fees are very low ($23) and the community has been very well maintained. More importantly, the home owners own the land their manufacturered home resides on!  The community is also age restricted.

Because of the small community size, listings don't remain on the market for long. Contact me at 702-493-8033 or email at info@lvrealty.net and I'll send you the current listings available. -cr

It seems that Karma has caught up to Mr. Simpson. I was watching the Emmys show tonight and during a set of commercials there was a brief news blurb. OJ was arrested for the alleged robbery of a sports memorabilia agent this past Thursday at the Station Hotel and Casino.

Perhaps the families may receive some roundabout justice. -Charles

OJ in Vegas

Did anyone hear about this? This past Thursday, a local sports memorabilia dealer stated that he was robbed by OJ at gunpoint at the Palace Stations Hotel and Casino.  Coincidentally, his book came out the same day. The memorabilia dealer has also spoken to the attorney that represented the Goldmans.  You can read the rest of the post here.

Today driving around Las Vegas, I was moved by the patriotism that was shown by some of the communities I drove by. One neighborhood had dozens and dozens of flags lining the street on both sides. Another had a huge banner that stated "never forget". Another also had flags present.

I'm sure they'll be lots of posts about 9/11 and honoring the memory of those that lost and gave their lives that day six years ago.  I'm looking forward to the day they catch the person responsible.-Charles

The big rush to Vista that Microsoft was hoping for never materialized and with some good reasons. If you buy a new PC, you're going to be stuck with Vista whether you like it or not. Part of the abysmal response to Vista was due to (in part) pc manufacturors building pcs with inadequate hardware to run Vista properly. A PC needs at least 1 gig of memory and I would recommend dual core processor  as well.

But is it right for you?  If you use a lot of older software applications (or older hardware), definitely not.  Quite a few older software programs out there are not Vista compatible and the companies that wrote them haven't (or aren't planning) released a patch to make them Vista ready.  Same thing for hardware drivers. You may be forced to buy a piece of hardware to get a compatible driver. If you were thinking of upgrading your OS on your current machine to Vista, read the machine reqs I posted above before doing so.  You can install it on a machine with less than the posted reqs, but you won't enjoy working on it.  Vista requireds a beefy rig just to run the OS. To get good performance, I wouldn't run it  on anything less than an Athlon X2 4800+ processor (or Intel Core 2 2.5 gigahertz processor) and 2 Gigs of memory.  The reason that Vista needs more processing and memory is the visual display and backend. Vistas is very, very pretty, but that beauty comes at a premium.  There are also a lot of extra security and permissions controls built in as well that are running in the background. Combined it demands a higher level of hardware to run effectively.
