HappyMom-There is a glut of 5-10 year old housing in Las Vegas right now.
Many deals to be had.
But rents are relatively cheap also.I would urge you to rethink the whole scheme.
I lived in Las Vegas for four years(transfered by my employer at the time)and just hated it.And I would hate to have to worry about a teenaged daughter here.
This is a fairly common thing,folks move to Vegas having vacationed there a few times-and get stuck in the trashy hell of everyday life in Las Vegas.

When Summerlin was first concieved there were to be no casinos within the plan.Well that changed rapidly and the quality of life in Summerlin dimminished rapidly.The money these folks throw at the city planners/town council both in the legal and ilegal ways is astounishing-and it takes a strong city council to say no.Summerlins failed on that count.

It still is the most family friendly area of town as far as I am concered.But the housing prices reflect that.

I will probably end up living back in Las Vegas for my current work.I am not looking forward to that.
