Welcome to the Las Vegas area.  This site will attempt to help both PCS personnel coming to Nellis and retirees coming to the desert for the weather and amenities.  As an Air Force retiree myself I know what you are going through and can help you over the hard parts.  Let's start at the beginning for the PCS family.

 

 

Nellis is a big place with several units located here.  I won't try to provide details here but, instead, will give you the most complete source of which I am aware.  Retirees will also find this of interest because Nellis will be your only source of BX and Commissary shopping.  They are both quite large by the way.

 

That source is:    http://benefits.military.com/misc/installations/Base_Content.jsp?id=3415

 

For retirees there are several age restricted, 55+, communities within the Las Vegas metropolitan area.  These communities cater to that age group with many amenities such as club houses, gyms, swimming pools, clubs, entertainment, travel and others.  As an Air Force retiree of 27 years and many moves, I can relate to your situations.  I live in one of these communities myself.  I can help you make this major transition.  Many people in these age restricted communities are working in post-retirement positions.  As we know, retirement from the military is not usually your final retirement.  CHECK ME OUT  by clicking on the "About Bob" button on the front page and let me show you what we have available.
