Cost of Living

Cost of Living

(OP)
Hey folks I'm about to go to a meeting (in 15 mins) where I expect to get laid off (at least for a few weeks or cut down to VERY part time work) along with most other folks in my group.  I've already been offered another job (within the same company but different division).  New job would require relocation to Las Vegas.  Anyone have good info on cost of living there? Or good links for U.S. comparisons on cost of living?

Many Thanks!!

RE: Cost of Living

I'm not sure the link provided by jae is really what senslessticker is looking for. It would appear that this link compares the cost of living over time rather than place. A state-state COL comparison could be , for example: http://www.cityrating.com/costofliving.asp
Having moved around the world to different countries a few times, I am always a little sceptical about these 'calculators' as COL is a very personal thing, but they do give you a very rough idea.

btw, I hope things work out for the best for you!

Here's a link for housing for sale as well as rentals.  This is usually the largest cost in a household budget.
