My wife and I are moving to Las Vegas in about two week and are looking for the "artsy neighborhood" there. Most cities have neighborhoods that cater to the local artist community. I'm a dj/musician and my wife is a photographer. We are vegetarian and while we do have a car, we choose to use mass-transit as much as possible. She will be attending CCSN while I'm likely to attend UNLV. We enjoy going to coffeehouses and eating at small-local cafe's. We are looking at apartments around the Paradise area near UNLV as that is where I'm most familiar. But we would like find out about other neighborhoods to explore.

We've found that all the natural food stores (Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc) are located West of the i-15 and many coffeehouses are located just west of downtown. Even the CCSN Campus is located in NLV. So anyway, if you could help with general locations of where some places where we should look, if any. We would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
