You're a few years ahead of me but I'm from Oregon and am of like mind for sure. These winters are getting to be a bit much for us and we're going to be heading south in the winter pretty soon. I've spent a fair amount of time in Las Vegas and while it's not bikini weather in the winter it's A LOT nicer than the Pacific NW. Mainly, it's just much drier and the temps are a lot more manageable. Palm Springs sounds nice but I'm not much of a California fan either. I suppose I'll start exploring AZ if I get too cold in Las Vegas. The cost of living in Las Vegas is also nice, assuming you don't put your savings in the slot machines :)
I would vote for Indio 1st. then Ariz. 2nd then Las Vegas 3rd. Price wise for snowbirders , I think Yuma offers better prices but then it depends on what your interests are! Phoenix areas offer a greater variety of places to explore and visit. I would draw a 20 mile circle around Phoenix and then start looking for RV parks. Phoenix is a real cluster of traffic. I liked the areas between Phoenix and Tucson and prices tend in general less than the RV resorts right around Phoenix.
