My dad has a house in Henderson. They bought it a few years back to stay in when he and his partner's are out at their Vegas office.
It was built for $400k, they bought it for about half that and it took a dump after they bought it too. The value has gone up a little bit, so that's a plus and probably bodes well for the area.
That said, my buddies 14 year old daughter lives in Vegas with her mom and is covered in Tattoos and piercings. That's either gonna be really good for your son, or REALLY bad.
