Internet works less than half of the time. It is supposed to be 4g, but half of the time I do have internet(less than one fourth of a day if my math is sound!) it is lousy 3g. I also am almost always at one bar. It tends to improve upon venturing a few miles farther into the city, but on the south eastern edge it really blows.

Calls will connect but drop all the time. We even bought a booster, and yes we've tried *228. Verizon customer service has not been helpful.

Reception varies from no bars to 1 bar and if you do make a call it is usually dropped. Verizon acknowledges this is a weak service area but won't do anything about it except try to get you to switch plans or get a new phone. But if you get a new phone and it doesn't work, they will still charge you a restocking fee. Sounds like a scam to me since the technical people at Verizon tell me it doesn't matter what phone you use, their will be an issue. Bottom line, don't trust the Verizon Customer Service people.

Verizon acknowledges they have a weak service area, but won't do anything about the issue. Customer service tired to tell me I needed a new plan, which has nothing to do with the reception. They want me to "try" a new phone, but will still charge me a restocking fee if the new phone doesn't work. The technical people at Verizon tell me the phones aren't to blame, but yet the customer service people aren't on the same page and only care about upgrading you to a new plan or phone. They will still charge a "restocking" fee if the new phone doesn't work at your home which doesn't seem right.

Just moved into a new house. From my second story I can see Red Rocks to the west and the tops of hotels on the strip to the east. I have two Blackberries and two LG's. I am lucky to get 1 to 2 bars of service. When I do get a call, it cuts out within a minute. Verizon acknowledges the area has poor service. They gave me three options. 1) Cancel my service. 2) Wait three months for a possible tower upgrade. 3) Pay $250 for a VoiP network extender for my house. I filed an FCC complaint yesterday

I have to agree with the previous comments about Verizon in this area. I can't make a call out of my own home. I have to go outside if I get a call and hope it works or let it go to voice mail. I constantly have data troubles too. My commitment is over and I am not searching for a new carrier. AT&T seems to work in my neighborhood from what I can tell.

Love Verizon. New tower was added, so I switched from AT&T. I had nothing but problems with AT&T. I love my new phone too!

I am always dropping calls! I have called so many times and each time they say they are trying to fix the network. Their 3g is much slower than AT&T and Tmobile. Extremelly annoying!

I travel daily between the northwest and northeast corners of the city and rarely have troubles with connecting (though there is a brief spot somewhere on Lamb between Craig and 215 where I tend to go dark). No complaints for Verizon's service. There is the occasional hiccup, of course, but if it does drop calling again results in perfect quality. It was kinda scary driving to Phoenix, though; a large portion of that drive is no service land.

I have had enough. We have lived here for 5 years and Verizon is consistantly worse, for the last 6 months, no calls, or interupted calls, it is horrible. Why am I paying for no service?

Have T-Mobile nopw which is ok but my wife has Verizon and it is horrible. Always dropping calls and there phones suck! We both can't wait to switch to AT&T or Sprint. Anythings better than verizon

Verizon coverage is terrible in most of the Pueblos. There seem to be no towers in this corridor. As soon as I turn off Lake Mead or Vegas Drive, phone begins to blank out, along with applications like Slacker, Pandora, etc. Standing in front of my home, my signal is around -102 to -110 dBm. Unacceptable. Friends that have AT&T seem to be able to make calls just fine from INSIDE my home! To be beaten by AT&T is ludicrous!

Verizon... what a joke. I lived in Northern nevada and had no problems with Verizon, and then I move to SoNev and experience at least 5-10 dropped calls a day. Even when I stand in one place, I can actual watch the reception bars on the phone rise and fall until service is droppped completely. How many important calls have I been on that dropped??? Too many to count. My new motto: Drop Verizon before it drops you!

always great reception for regular phone use and tv

I have to stay in a certain room in my house just to make calls. When outside in the neighborhood driving or walking, I have to stop to make a call. What's the use of having a cell when you can't use it wherever needed. The sad part is that there is a Verizon Tower not more than 2 miles from my neighborhood and the signal stinks.

I've had Verizon for about 10 years now and when I lived below Nellis Blvd.the reception was awsome and is anywhere in town. When I moved to the area of said school, I get little to no reception as I walk from room to room in my house. Also when I drive or walk around by neighborhood it's spotty at best. Once I get past, east of, Nellis Blvd.I could stay on the phone for hours and never loose the signal or drop the call unless I go back up towards my house. I have called Verizon tons of times during the 5 years I've lived in that area and they say the same thing every time, it's your phone. Well, it's not because my wife has a brand new RAZR and it does it too. There is a site at the top of the hill but for some reason the signal stinks. I thought of buying a repeater for the house but, what about when I'm out in the car or walking the neighborhood. Oh well.

although it has poor signal, it can still make and recieve calls. I think LG makes good quality phones with top reviews on verizons network.

Verizon's coverage has been very good for me in the northwest. I get good coverage everywhere with Verizon. I'm nervous about changing to another provider.

I get almost no reception at my house in the Paseos (Charleston west of the 215) with Verizon. My wife has Sprint (personal) and AT&T (work) and both work perfectly. Unfortunately, my phone is issued by work and I have no choice of carrier.

I cant believe how bad VERIZON is in these parts. Nearing the tram at the airport, dropped. Into AZ, dropped, into CA, dropped! Not Pleased. Can you hear me now?? NO, but my friends with T-Mobile work!

Christmas Day, the most important day, Verizon desides to give me a "all circuits are busy" signal and the text messages / voice mails I tried to send out x-mas morning don't get received by friends until the next day. Not only that, I only have 1x of service at the house. Not only this, but carrying insurance got me a refurbished phone where I have to press the up button really hard to go up on my contacts list. Luckly, no longer on a contract and from this site, looks like Cingular has the most towers in the area. Although I had Cingular before, Cingular never gave me as many negatives (over positives) as Verizon has.

I get very poor reception at home, 1 bar if I'm lucky. I called a Verizon tech to see what they could do about it. I was told Verizon knew about the poor reception area around Hollywood and Washington and had no plans to do anything about it. There should be a law stating when a cell phone company shows you a reception / coverage map that is must show known dead zones too.

I can not make or recieve calls in or near my home. As soon as enter my community I lose reception. Verizon has done nothing to help

I have had constant dropped calls for 2 years. Cell to land line, cell to cell, cell to other cell carrier, in home or accross country... it doesn't make a difference... sometimes have to make 6 phone calls to finish a conversation. Had one of the phones replaced 3 x with no better results. Verizon would not work with me in replacing the phones, even though I offered to pay the difference. They just insisted that I shell out another $300 for new phones to see if that corrected the problem. Verizon customer serivce is supposed to be the tops... wrong! Goodby and good riddance is all I have to say!

I called Verizon due to the fact that I get absolutely no service up here on any of my Verizon phones (V3M, Q, and a Nokia Pay-As-You Go). They sent my complaint to a technician that came out and did a reading for signal strength near my house, and the tech came back and said that it was bad and that Verizon had no plans in the near future to puta tower up in this area and that I'm SOL if I want to stay with them. Easy out on my contract, so I took it. Going to Cingular since they get pretty decent service up here.

I switched from Nextel to Verizon and I hate it! I thought Nextel was bad but I came to find out that the most reliable network really isnt reliable. I get atleast 5 dropped calls a day. I dont use my phone much but when I do, I end up mad at the service. Im switching to Sprint real soon.

I just bought the LG vx8300 and it is great but the drawback is that where I live is that a have only one barout of four. I can still make calls with one bar and can talk if theres no signal at all. I've been with Verizon Wireless before 9 / 11 and still am, I still think they have the best service to this day.

We need a Verizon tower out here,verizon is great everywhere I go in vegas accept at my home.

Missed calls, dropped calls. Reception is OK when it stays connected. Typically one or two bars of service. Cannot connect on one bar.

reception perfect in Henderson where I work.. very poor with dropped calls and calls going direct to voice mail in North Las Vegas where I live.

When I moved heer Verizon was grate. now just average. dont know what happend.

As of last August 2005, only Verizon could get reception in the house, we also tried all other available carriers in the Spring of 2004.

I have had Verizon for 2 years now and I am pretty happy with the coverage. I drove across the country twice from New York to Las vegas and didn't really have any problems. Of course with my luck the place I decide to live on Jones and 215 there is no signal or hardly at that. I don't understand. There are no big obstructions around as we all know. The cell tower is no more than half a mile from my house. When I spoke to Verizon they didn't believe me becuase of the amount of cell towers that they have in vegas and they just kept telling me to update my phone. Besides this inconvenience I am happy with Verizon

We live off of Brent St.right near El Capitan in the far northwest part of Las Vegas and get at the most 1 bar from Verizon. We called and they said to stand near a window and that cell phones were meant for mobile use and not in homes... .geeez. Great resolution. I saw where Nextel is bad up here too. I saw there is a Cingular Tower near here... .wonder if they provide good service... ..

There appears to be lower number of towers on this side of city with many tall buildings and hospital to interfere with transmission from my home. I can go 200 yards north (outside my complex) and have perfect reception. This is a major dead spot. Many dropped calls and broken transmissions even early AM on weekends.

Verizon is the Best in Las Vegas. We had T-Mobile and Alltel. No doubt Verizon is doing the most improvements on their systems. And are continuing to improve every area that they are improving wherever they take over. They use to be lousy in Denver, Co.. But last time we visited it was clear as a bell! GO VERIZON!

Cudos for Verizon. No dropped calls in the summerlin Lake mead area.. Tried ATT for 2 years People were friendly but phone reception poor.. Tried Sprint 1 year YUCK! nuff said.. Nextel for 2 years..started out fine but last Sept 2004 thru March 2005 Nextel my have surpassed Sprint no service availoable and dropped call.. Nextel had the best program for me but the service was so bad I was loosing customers so...

Reception in and around my home and work is generally perfect. Much better than the reception I had when I was with Sprint PCS.

Undeniable coverage copmared to Cingular and sprint. I switched from Sprint to Cingular last year and it was good until the merger happened then when I went to the Cingular store close to my home and not only was the service bad so was the sales associates. So I walked around the building and found a Verizon store located in the same building and said what the heck ported my numbers over and UNBELIEvable coverage. Not a drop call to this day and I am going on 5 months strong thank you Verizon and thank you to the salesperson at the store very knowledgable might I add.

Good reception at home but non-existent signal in Summerlin (Town Center and Hualapai) or Rainbow and 215.

Repetitive dropped calls traveling on 215 NW from I-15. Bars of reception runs from 0 to 5 (obviously causing a dropped call) with a phone that grabs and holds calls with minimal bars of signal.

Absolutely no service with Verizon past 215 southbound on Jones. Works ok on rainbow. (2 bars) I can't even get a call in my house at all.

No problems with Verizon in most areas of Las Vegas. I almost never get a dropped call. Preveiously I had ATTW and had dropped calls frequently.
