I'm moving to Vegas

**warriorfan707** · 07-26-10, 03:08 PM

I should just win 100$ a day. That would be more than enough to live out there. Just gotta stay disciplined

I don't think there are any 10$ per night hotels or anything even close to that

i said regular rent not cheap rent, you could stay in a hotel 600-700 a month easily

20$ a night hotel?

Gotta be a shithole

Problem is you couldn't get a job in Vegas for $9/ hour with benefits with a college degree.

Great place to retire with a pension, though !

Vegas will become a retirement place like much of Florida.

Plenty of people are working in Vegas, I'm pretty sure casinos and sportsbooks still need employees to run the place

i seen a couple regular hotels with low weekly rates around there, 4 queens and binions were only like $25 a night, Binions gives discount to poker players, and probably could get a cheaper rate for long term at the casino hotels.

cosmopolitan open in dec....other wise jobs are sparse

**warriorfan707** · 07-26-10, 03:23 PM

I'm gonna miss listening to Kruk and Kuip's Giants broadcasts, looks like its gonna be no sound or commentary MLB games for me pretty soon here...

Watching MLB games unfold in sportsbooks with a bunch of drunken degenerates

You can stay at hotels like the IP for around $25 a night for a month

IP is a shithole, too !

It is the El Cortez moved to the strip. It won't be $25 on Friday and Saturday either. Probably more like $80 those nights.

You can't really live in a hotel room....maybe downtown where the rates don't triple on weekends.

**stikymess** · 07-26-10, 03:25 PM

Good luck, Im' pulling for you.

Insight I have: I know two dealers (downtown) and they say the new thing is they are getting sent home early, as in not getting their whole shift due to lack of traffic. Hopefully you have experience in most games, so you can land somewhere.

If at all possible take two weeks there and check everything out. Crazy prices on real estate as everyone has said, again rooting for you, your living the dream!

It's not a good time to move into Vegas...

**biggie12** · 07-26-10, 03:46 PM

WarriorFan aren't you such a great black jack player? why are you worried about living arrangements?

**warriorfan707** · 07-26-10, 03:46 PM

Perhaps not more most, I'm pretty sure everything will work itself out just fine

**jjgold** · 07-26-10, 03:52 PM

warrior call me when you get out there, we can work out some business deals.

**Chi_archie** · 07-26-10, 03:55 PM

Warrior is gonna make it big, no doubt

**THEGREAT30** · 07-26-10, 03:58 PM

don't know if I will ever just move there but I am planning an extended stay very soon

**warriorfan707** · 07-26-10, 03:59 PM

pm me your number jj

what did you have in mind?

**Fishhead** · 07-26-10, 04:09 PM

Great sportsbetting, video poker, poker, side games, golf, food, weather, and a low cost of living.

VEGAS is one of the best places to live in AMERICA, plain and simple..........and more so for the majority on this board.

Oh, and do you happen to speak spanish?

**in2thethickofit** · 07-26-10, 04:33 PM

Currently, Vegas is about the worst place to be for work. But, that could change (if you have 10 years to wait). A friend of mine lives there and there are so many people leaving that it is difficult to find a U-Haul to leave because nobody is moving there to bring the trucks back. This is what I heard from him, this is not based on anything I know as fact.

**compaqDikk** · 07-26-10, 04:56 PM

make ur residence i n the tunnel system under the stardust as this is what cassiewaits did until he bought a 3700 square footpad, all cash in gated community in red rock area

In Florida, be leary of the following.......

TERMITES
PROPERTY TAXES
INSURANCE ISSUES
HURRICANES
ABSURD ASSOCIATION AND CDL FEES
SINK HOLES
HUMIDITY
HOARDS OF PEOPLE
CRIME

Still better than most places in the good ole USA

**BIGDAY** · 07-26-10, 05:20 PM

Keep us posted on how things are!

**betyuda** · 07-26-10, 05:22 PM

Where s a good place to live in Vegas(vacation home)? I m looking for condos only lower maintenance ( willing to pay up cash of up to $750,000). looking for any advice. thanks

**Capn Morgan** · 07-26-10, 05:47 PM

good luck man! i bet itd be awsome living there but i figure youd get tired of the party scene, the strip etc after a year or so

Termites: Lucky so far.
Property Taxes:

Insurance Issues: Just got kicked from state farm, Citizens kicks in the beginning of August
Hurricanes: See above. Also sucks being out of work and power for 7-18 days at a time.
Absurd Association: Absolutely Ridiculous, glad to finally be HOA free.
Sinkholes: Haven't been affected yet.
Humidity: I am a miserable person for 4 months out of the year. (Did you guys know it can rain without a single cloud in the sky? We call them 'sunshowers')
Hoards of People: Its thinning out since the downturn.
Crime: Business broken into, car broken into, car stolen. Police returned the car to me with bullet shells and crack cocaine still in it. "We're short-staffed on the weekends" was their excuse.

Other than that... great place to live and raise a family

Seriously though, the ocean is nice

**ezmoney** · 07-26-10, 06:00 PM

Even Cheryl Crow left Las Vegas, wouldn't go there now. No jobs, consider east coast where people like JJ have tons of cash!

PO69,

I hear ya but got burned on 4 homes back in my real estate investing days and these were bought and considered real bargains at the time. I spent months rearching buying and making low offers and all 4 were considered excellent investments by everyone at the time. House supposedly bottomed out at the price we bough it at, couldnt go any lower everyone said including us. Well guess what it went lower and ntohing you can do it about either but sit there and watch your money go away.

Also havent lived in an apartment since I was 25 years old. Not playing that game anymore. We rent a home as do a lot of people in Vegas. You can get a very nice one and a very nice neightborhood for 1,250 a month or so. Less if your 55 and older. The thing is for $1,400 a month rental you can get a a much nicer home for that kind of payment a month and that is what sucks. The thng is when you sign that dotted line too buy you are stuck and cant leave and if the market continues to go down nothing yuo can do where is with renting when its time to go, then you can go and you not accountable for anyting and that is huge and probably why we won't buy for a while. Bottom line you buy something you better want to live there for a few years minimum probably 5.

So much negativity on the employment situation out there, I'm not sure if this all applies to people who have experience in the casino industry

Only one way to find out I guess

warrior why don't you go visit for like a weekend and try and find a job or two and then move out there if you get it.. it would be hell if you move and can't find work..
