Jobs..right now approximately 150,000 casino workers have been laid off or cut hours to a minimum..where casino's don't have to pay benefits...

If one is thinking of moving to VEGAS...Fill out job applications on line before you get here that way you may have a leg up on your competition..Station Casino's.com Boydgaming.com get the picture..

I love it here, 9 months of absolutely beatiful weather and 3 month's hotter than hell but, I can deal w/it...

Last but not least, I'm older 53 and I don't really need alot from life, a good golf course, a place to make bets, a home to call my own, transportation, and my wife and 3 year old daughter...and lots of good places to eat..fairly reasonable..Steak and eggs hashbrowns and toast 3.99 and cheesebuger fries and a glass of tea 3.99...simple...but like I said I'm older so those are the good things in life to me...Thanks for your time and have a safe trip to Vegas...

Thx for the info man. Very resourceful.

20$ a night hotel?

Gotta be a shithole

I lived in Vegas for more than a year at $20 a day. Stratosphere, Vegas Club, The Plaza, The Sahara all had $20 a day specials running all the time. if you talk to the hotel manager you can get $20 a day for 3 or 4 months in a row. I liked The Plaza the best but they won't give you the $20 a day on the weekends.

When I first went to Vegas I just ran sidestep.com once a week to see who had the best rates that week. Then I got to know the manager at the Plaza and she gave me a deal for 4 months between the Plaza and the Vegas Club.

I just ran a search on sidestep and you can stay at the Tuscany for $24. That is a REALLY nice hotel.

Some of these places just stop renting the rooms out when the rates get too low. Binions did this instead of renting $20 rooms. Their rooms were decent. I'd rather stay at a hotel instead of a weekly dump around 15th and Fremont for the same money.

In other words you'd be lucky to make 20k a year there with no benefits, right Jeff ?

**Iceman** · 07-27-10, 02:49 PM

Online mainly because of conveince. All I have to do is click a button and its over.

I can find the best line at 15 places or so and have the bet done and confirmed in 20 seconds. Much easier then dealing with all the commotion (and heat) with finding the best line and then driving to the casino to bet it.

Great. Thank You.

South summerlin is the nicest area in vegas, IMP but probably the most expensive also. Living single? If so you should be fine. Start adding in others and pets it gets harder.

Single. I am a fed ex driver. Very easy to transfer anywhere in country. Just have to stay One year. If it turns out I dont like living there and only like visiting on vaca it will be on to the next place.

**Iceman** · 07-27-10, 03:18 PM

Shouldn't you be out there right now working? I worked at UPS for 6 years (never as a driver, loaded trucks)

**goblue12** · 07-27-10, 03:24 PM

Move to Henderson / Summerlin and bet at the Stations casinos.

**rook** · 07-27-10, 03:27 PM

**thezbar** · 07-28-10, 02:17 PM

I said SOLID LOCALS

Not wannabe scamtard ghosts running a little wannabe operation, and having their accounts shut down in the middle of the week then lying about it

"Please stop playing in the casino"

Who's ghost are you anyway?

**biggie12** · 07-28-10, 06:37 PM

Im willing to meet up with you whenever you are ready, you can see for yourself who i am

**warriorfan707** · 07-28-10, 06:39 PM

Thanks. I just need a one bedroom but i want top of the line complex in summerlin area.

**ugadawgs** · 07-28-10, 07:58 PM

yeah....i was bringing in over 5 million a year in casino biz and still got laid off.....it sux

**Jshap1515** · 07-29-10, 05:08 PM

I think it would be fun and very rewarding to be a Hold em dealer. You'd learn the game so much more than just a casual player

**Chuck74** · 07-29-10, 05:16 PM

Good luck man

**sportsfun** · 07-29-10, 05:18 PM

went recently and at some strip casinos, the poker room is very slow.

**warriorfan707** · 07-30-10, 01:53 AM

I'm gonna get there,throw down a hundred bucks on a 6 teamer and nail it and just chill for a couple weeks drinking.

Were you working as a casino host?

**Wojo** · 08-04-10, 12:21 AM

If you live in Summerlin, you have a couple of nice locals casinos nearby. The traffic up there really sucks. It is a real pain, and a hike, to get to the Strip. If you travel much, it is a long trip to the airport. Same with getting to UNLV bball games at the Thomas and Mack.

Don't get me wrong, it is very nice in Summerlin, just a pain traveling to the Strip and elsewhere. I go to the Strip a lot. I live in Henderson with some elevation and have a great view of the Strip.

If you are definitely looking for an apartment, you might check out the Las Vegas Country Club. It is behind the Hilton and is where Lefty Rosenthal from the movie Casino lived. The apartments are older, but the location to the Strip and downtown can't be beat. I have a number of single friends that live there and love it.

As somebody else mentioned, if there is any way you can afford to buy, the prices are unbelievable!

**warriorfan707** · 08-04-10, 06:18 AM

Just got here, staying at the Hard Rock for right now

Ready to tear up this town

Finally some love for my EASTside

You are spot on with your comments above and one of the positives to living on that side of town.

As stated, both sides offer positives and negatives.......and having lived on both sides for numerous years, try not to let anyone say that one is considerable better than the other, because it's not true.
