    You can eat pretty cheap if that's your thing ...I know some cheap skate locals that know all the places to get steak and eggs for 2.99 on Tuesdays at 1 in the morning and things along those lines. Before the tickets in the books remember all the locals that used to hover there for the free drinks.

    Exactly. I would call Vegas an amazing place to visit twice a year for 4 nights. But living there? F that.

    South Florida is the same way. Great place but hot as ballz 9 months out of the year.

    Not many of them anymore and usually end up seedy places or dangerous areas and the risk of food poisoning


    With dirt cheap housing remember who your neighbors are going to be mainly people on welfare and undesirables

    LOL at Summerlin being army barracks. Wrong side of town, coach.

    Cheap living. No sales tax on food. Rents are really that cheap.

    I'm a pasty fukk, so I don't like the summers here either, but it's paradise for a good 8 months after that. I just leave town during the summer if possible.

    People have realized where the real money is here. Nothing wrong with that. I made a really nice living as a waiter here. 6 figures some years, working less than 35 hrs/week with hot women and never the same night twice. Wanna call that dumb? Fine with me.

    My vices are tame though. I try to live +EV, so gambling just doesn't happen anymore. I can't deal with somebody or something getting the best of me, call it ego, but anything more than a low-limit hold-em table to pass the time is out for me. Plenty of other things to do here, it's a fun city, you don't need to gamble at all. The suckers gamble.

    The women are hot as balls, but they're garbage, and you have to always be aware of this. I have girls I date, but have never had a serious thing out here, not once. I'm into some weird shit, you gotta have at least one girl that is down with all that too so the beast can come out and play sometimes (Dexter reference). If you can nail that down, a steady chick is the last thing you need.

    Drugs? No. I have a good future lined up, or at least I feel like I do, so I can't be getting in my own way right now.

    Been here since 2006. Prospered. It can be done, but not if you're your own worst enemy. Then steer clear. You might die.

    Profiting off of those that do. This isn't 1968.

    Didn't you watch Deadwood? The gold miners all died and went broke. The people who owned the hardware store, the bar owner, the casino guys, the whores, they were the ones who had a real shot at making it.

    Wasn't on any of those lists. I'd be surprised too. Huge high net worth subdivisions out here, and getting a cheap beer is really hard to do because the bars know that all the young people have money.
