WesternRVParkOwner,
Some of what you say it true but much is not.
There are three airports in the RGV. United, Delta. American and Southwest fly into them. I myself now fly to the RGV from NJ on a one stop flight.
There are professional sports teams in the RGV. They are minor league and play soccer and basketball.
The University of Texas RGV plays Division 1 sports in everything except football. They belong to the WAC.
There is a world class beach.
No one place has the best of everything. The airports in the RGV are smaller, but you can get to every major city in the USA with only one connection. There are entertainment venues but they are not Las Vegas style places......... of course Las Vegas has no beach.
No one place suits everyone.. The RGV of 10 years ago is not the RGV today. A lot has charged.
