Pahrump is a relaxed desert town with affordable short‑term housing, local wineries, casual casinos, wide open spaces and easy outdoor access for hiking, off‑roading and excellent night skies—perfect as a low‑stress base for multi‑week assignments that can feel like a comfortable home away from home.
If you want bigger‑city options, Las Vegas is about an hour east for major restaurants, shows, specialty medical care and weekend entertainment, so you get quiet day‑to‑day living plus quick access to big‑city amenities.
