I'm originally from Vegas but moved to Utah for a few years, and now live up here by you now. Guess what? Of Vegas, Fort Collins and Salt Lake, I would choose Salt Lake. And I'm not even Mormon or white, so what do ya know?
Not hating on my home town of Vegas though. I love the place to death. It's just become a **** hole in recent years. Guess that's what you get when you kick out Mob Law. People feared the mob.
Also not hating on Fort Collins or NoCo in general. Love this area too, though it's been hot as hell lately for being the so called "North". I just really liked Salt Lake City. It was a lot like Fort Collins in all honesty, cept the Jazz were there and the people were just a little bit nicer.
