i live in vegas. vegas is hella ghetto. not all of it though. summerlin is nice. most of henderson is too.

My best advise is to contact the local Police Dept. and ask where they have the most calls.
They will be able to tell you better than anyone else.
Hope this helps, and stay safe.

try henderson, just outside of the city. Fairly suburban but just a short drive to the action.

real estate prices are falling so keep checking.
