As far as restaurants, literally like all cuisines - love pho, Thai, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian. My favourite LV spots at the higher end are Joel Robuchon and Andiamo. Not a fan of the Bellagio restaurants.
BTW, is there any decent poker at the Henderson casinos - Green Valley and Station, I believe?
1. The best schools in Henderson/Las Vegas are a relative concept. (I used to interview candidates for an Ivy League university, the best public school candidates generally had relocated to Las Vegas from elsewhere recently.) That said, I would not recommend the highest priced, trophy home communities. There are advantages to a gated community for sure, but look for one which is kid-friendly. You can find them in Green Valley, along with relatively good public schools. Las Vegas never put value on top flight education, in Henderson Greenspun Middle School and Green Valley HS are decent. (There are decent private schools in town as well that do offer good educations, but I can't speak to those like Bishop Gorman.)
2. Sunset Station dropped poker . GVR spreads the only poker I know of in Henderson. However, it is a pretty fast drive, little traffic, to go west to South Point from Green Valley.
3. For high-end restaurants, you generally will roam outside Henderson. There are quite a few middle end spots open across a variety of cuisines. Eater Las Vegas is a pretty good source, or ask Gobbo on 2+2.
4. Emophobic brought up a real drawback about Anthem, the traffic and time to drive anywhere else from there would be maddening.
