Seriously thinking about packing up and moving to vegas as early as end of the month or by the 1st of august for sure.I live in los angeles and quite frankly i always wanted to live in vegas and the time has come.Looks like 2 or 3 bedroom apt. or condo is cheap to rent even close to the strip as i have been looking around on craigslist and other apt. finders,the only thing is i don't know which are good neighbourhoods and which aren't :shrug: can u guys who live there kinda give me an idea from which areas to stay away......and also is it hard to get a job in one of those big hotels on the strip?? i was looking into sportsbook ticket writers job but looks like people get that job and just stick with it so its hard to get into it.Would love to hear from you guys that live in clark county...........thanks for the info in advance fellas! :SIB
Who lives in Vegas?
- Thread starter LetsMakeMoney
- Start date
ask fletcher or senor capper as I know they live in Vegas.
I would like to move there too and gamble for a living but my wife won't go for it. So, til then I'll keep my job at Clorox and live the daily grind.

is henderson far from the strip? don't wanna live too far from the sportsbooks lol........10 min drive to the strip will be fine :shrug:
does anyone know what happend to NYSPORTSFAN? did he make it in vegas :shrug: or did he get shot right when he stepped out of his crib as people were applying in that 2nd thread vinnie dug out??
I live in Vegas, actually Summerlin, which is still a Vegas mailing address, but about 9 miles west of the strip, almost against the mountains.
Absolutely GORGEOUS !!! Summerlin is the new Henderson. I think that Fletcher lives in Henderson.
The further west you are from the strip, the better the neighborhoods. I live about 1 mile from Red Rock Resort.
Nice sports book, good poker room, and fine restaurants.
Housing isn't bad here. You can get a NICE 3 BR rance, 2 bath, 2K sq ft, for mid 200K's.
I would suggest to rent an apt or condo, as you mentioned, to make sure that you like your neighborhood.
I live in the Willows allotment. Jennifer Harmon lives at the other end of the Willows. I'm sure her house is worth closer to $600K.
Book a stay for a weekend at the RedRock, and get ahold of a realtor that will cart you around to some properties for the weekend.

Honestly, these articles from '02 & '04 won't help much. Summerlin was still a place where they dumped bodies back in '02 !!
Nice 2BR APTS out here for a dime. Nice pools, and usually many females around !!
Lots of construction going on in west Vegas, ( Summerlin) , right now. it is a buyer and renters market !! GOOD LUCK !!
if you are free from financial committments, give it a try. Be careful, rent short term, until you find out if you can find work. Working in a sportsbook will barely cover your rent. Tending bar is slighly better, but neither will give you a good bankroll for football season. You better have one before you arrive.
Summer is hot. Wait until football season :00hour

To marketing majors everywhere: There's a six-figure job waiting for you at the casino.
Jeff Walker, 47, who graduated from college in 1983 with a marketing degree, is a gaming manager at Mohegan Sun, the Connecticut-based casino and resort. Walker has been with the company 12 years.
His career in gaming started in 1983 when he applied for a marketing job at The Sands in Atlantic City, N.J., when he graduated from the State University of New York's Geneseo campus.
Hitting the Jackpot
Gaming manager is one of America's surprising six-figure jobs, as compiled by Forbes.com based on the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics salary data.
The top 10% of gaming managers, whose primary responsibilities are overseeing staff and catering to gamblers, earn $106,220 a year, while the average annual salary is $69,600. Nevada, home of Las Vegas, arguably the world's most attractive spot to gamblers, is the top-paying state for this occupation.
Walker said job seekers considering a position in gaming should expect to work at two to three casinos before nestling into a six-figure spot.
"You have to move and sacrifice," he said

Whew!
I chose Henderson because of the best schools mainly Green Valley High for my boys. I love the area. I'm about 10 mintues from the Strip but normally use 4 close Books around me. Traffic is non-existant compared to other parts of the valley.
Really the only negative thing for me is the so-called Police Dept. :gf: But I try to stay clear of them.
US Air is laying off 600 peeps in Vegas Aug 1. Better get a jump on a job before then.
Down the street from Fltech & I are the Palm Villas at Whitney Ranch....
