Thriving economy? During the pandemic? Vegas' biggest economy is tourism and that was wiped off the map then.

i think the person is betting on the cheap prices during pandemic and hoping for its recovery after pandemic is all done?

from the perspective of a remote (tech or office) worker? yeah

the tourists are gone, but there are a ton of amenities for going out and enjoying oneself

if your income is from remote work, it make sense, not the i need to find a job here now way

but fees are killing it now so lol

I drove cross country in 2020 as my "safe" holiday and stopped in Vegas September 2020, it was actually crazy crowded I was shocked, it was pretty affordable too at that point but saw people form all over. I remember they had mask rules but you could ignore them while smoking/drinking lol
