Description

Michael and Alison Chambers might be recent Las Vegas residents, but they have history with the city, having eloped in Las Vegas on December 24, 1982. After spending their lives in California, with a brief stint in western Massachusetts, the couple moved to Las Vegas twenty years later. Both Michael and Alison grew up in the Los Angeles area, graduating from University of Southern California and Mills College respectively. Although Michael received his degree in architecture, his career trajectory transitioned to the financial industry. When Michel and Alison visited the McNeil neighborhood while house-hunting last year, it was immediately clear that the community would be their new home. They both enjoy the close-knit nature of the community, and have become active in the neighborhood association and its social activities. The Chambers’ have quickly integrated into the community, taking advantage of the city’s offerings, including the Art District, downtown renovations, photography club, hidden restaurant gems, and locals discounts.
