I'd love for Amazon to come to Vegas. We are close to everything, yet far away enough. Great airport right smack in the middle of the strip. Cost of living is low enough. People from everywhere. Generally, people in Vegas are friendly and generous (see the sad recent events for examples). And we now have professional sports! World-class entertainment and dining, yet enough local flavor to appeal to everyone and the desert scenery is fantastic. There's more to Vegas than the Strip, by the way.

I lived in Vegas from 2012 to 2016 and I just returned after spending a bad year in the Bay Area working in Silicon Valley. I'd love for Amazon to make its new home here.
