You should follow my plan and go to Vegas for the WSOP. I've been playing online and live for about 9 years. Cash games are a grind unless you're playing high-nosebleed stakes. I really started developing my tournament skills about 5 years ago online and starting cashing regularly with multiple deep runs/final tables. Last year I took my game to the WSOP for the first time and played in event #38 $1,500 buy-in. I ended getting 26th place for a little over 17k. That's the beauty of tournaments and making a large profit for a set amount of potential loss. This year I'm going for a full month. I leave on June 17th and will be bringing around 30k. I planning on playing in a couple $1000, $1500, and $2500 events ending with the main event. Obviously, I know I have the potential to not cash at all but if you don't make any stupid moves within the first couple days and play solid its way better than grinding the cash game.
