[19th Hole]

I was thinking of buying a large duplex in a semi nice area in Las Vegas and turning it into a gambler hostel. Free hi speed wifi. Free shuttle to and from the strip every hour (remember to tip the driver) Private 50 sq ft bedroom per person. $250/month. No pets

Vegas is circling the drain, they might not have enough water in 2 years.

But ANY place is better than Newark I suppose.

But you can live in some hotels for 750 a month, if you want a real dive you can probably find something for 100 a week.

If you have credit and can buy there are a ton of places cheap, but the thing is they'll probably keep going down, so it all depends of if you are going to stay there 'forever' or if you might want to sell your house for more than you paid for it a decade or so down the line.

Bu tif you gamble and arent good at it or compulsive Vegas is a bad spot to be. If you have a decent job and can keep uder control it has decent culture and plenty of stuff to do. It is just expensive to do the 'touristy' stuff but if you live there and gain connections you should be able to do most of it for next to nothing.

half of this is true, and vegas will always get its water.. always.

the chinese are starting to buy there (residential) in droves. still plenty of opportunity for smart, middle class minded americans to snatch some great property there. markets bottomed out a while ago, now it's all about who has the cash to live mortgage free.

if I'm still single when I get out of law school.... nah fukk that, can't imagine there are many prestigious law firms in Las Vegas... all ambulance chaser nonsense I'm assuming.

This kid always makes sense, as of now the top post in the thread

Be forewarned, most of the employment out here requires you to work either nights and/or weekends.

And if you think off-shore books are scared of action...

[PAULYPOKER]

“Under the Neon” is an extraordinary journey below the surface of the bright lights of Las Vegas, to meet some of the city’s homeless people who are battling to make a home for themselves under the streets of gold in the city’s storm-drains and tunnels.

[milwaukee mike]

a lot of very nice areas of las vegas, also some slums

all in all a much better place to live than milwaukee

what little work i do i can do from vegas, so yes i'm VERY SERIOUSLY considering moving

if the inlaws weren't around we would move tomorrow

[frogsrangers]

Vegas is nice to visit for a week.....living there probably not so much.

This is true

The novelty wears off after a while

I am not a partier or drinker either, and I don't spend money on things like that but still

[frogsrangers]

I work nights and weekends

Makes it difficult to snag overnight lines, because all the books are closed by the time I get off work, then I want to get good sleep so by the time I wake up and such its already noon and the lines have already moved.

Except the Venetian Book which is 24 hours, but I try to avoid the strip on my days off

I have been here for a year now, but I lived in Texas during the summer

I pay $500 in rent per month, about $100 in gas, $250 in food

I work 2 jobs on the strip

You can make it here on a low income as long as you don't waste money on worthless shit like strip clubs, alcohol, drugs, partying, clubbing, table games, fancy restaraunts; as well as having great money management betting sports and finding a cheap place to live like I did. I live in a 3 bedroom house and rent out a bedroom from the people who live here.

I am down betting sports about $250 since getting back from Texas in July, but I am hoping that WNBA and College Football are going to turn my fortunes around since all of my losses were on baseball

I'd say my monthly budget is probably $1200 a month.

Doesn't hurt that I have money saved in the bank though

Its all about managing your money out here

frogs next time i'm in vegas, lets meet up, no homo.

"worthless shit like strip clubs, alcohol, drugs, partying, clubbing, table games, fancy restaraunts"


none of that stuff sounds worthless, quite the contrary it sounds like a lot of fun and the reason to be in vegas as a young man

It's worthless because it has no value and drains your money especially if you are on a limited income

Its one thing to spend money on that stuff if you are visiting or vacationing but another thing to spend money on that stuff if you live here

[frogsrangers]

frogs next time i'm in vegas, lets meet up, no homo.

On my off days I can be found at the Hard Rock, Palms, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, or Mirage usually.

[milwaukee mike]

ok then frogsrangers we agree to disagree

i think there is a ton of value in drinking and gambling, and even going to strip clubs or clubs if you're into that sort of thing

when you're 40 and possibly married, you probably won't regret pissing away a lot of money if you had fun doing it. but on the flip side you might regret not having more fun when you were young and able to

I have never really been much of a partier, even in college I was more of a person who went to parties to meet & congregate with others rather than get hammered and such

Never been to a strip club and never will, don't get the appeal of paying a girl for the sole purpose of having her pretend to be interested in you

Since I moved here I learn that this city's purpose is to separate you from your money. And I have been pretty good at money management. Have only played blackjack and craps once, and that was with friends who were here for the MWC Basketball Tournament. That is the only time I have played a table game. Not playing table games because they are -EV.

I do bet on sports but I don't make large bets, only 4 times have I made a $100 bet or more. And I have won all 4.

I have seen too many people move here already only to go bust because they have no discipline or self control. They party it up and want to live the Vegas lifestyle but don't budget/plan accordingly. Knew a guy who moved out here and went to the Rhino a lot, clubs and spent lots of money at bars and such, got fired from his job because he kept showing up late because he was always too hungover or tired from partying the night beofre and next thing he knew he was flat broke with no job because he didn't save any of his money but instead wasted it on all the pitfalls of this town.

I am off tomorrow

Not sure if I am going to Mandalay Bay or not tomorrow

Might be the Venetian since I am off of work at 1:00am and that's the only place I can bet overnight lines at that time of the night

[Br0nxer]

Didn't you say you were at Carlos & Charlies one time, and I went by and nobody was there

i was fukkin with u

next month. i will shoot u a pm

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I spend a lot of my time at Mandalay, frogs. Although they have refused to take the size wagers I like to place sometimes before, so I had to run to Luxor and place the same bet. A little annoying. Seems like a tourist-catered book but they've only limited my action twice so it is usually not a problem.

[KingJD31]

my heart goes out to those who live there year round stand outside for 30 seconds in summer you turn into tomato

MGM books in general are tourist catred, 20 cent lines and all

I never place bets at MGM books or Caesers books

Best values can be found at LVH or the Cantor books

[hawley]

Is CanuckG still in Vegas?

[kmarinouofm]

I am off tomorrow

how longs has the venetian been open 24 hours for sports? since it was a cantor book ?

also isn't the southpoint have a 24 hour book?

[paranoyd androyd]

people who love city life, culture, and vegas either live in LA, SD, or SLC and just drive there.
those who don't care about the first two items live in henderson.

[jjgold]

Frogs has the right temperament for Vegas
I am sick of NJ as it is a dump

Frogs can you meet chicks there?

[dbartinbwgc]

If you looking to buy a condo south las vegas,
Checkout The Manhattan or Park Ave.
Just a block north of southpoint casino
Some real good deals if your buying
2bd 2 bath going for about 100k was close to 400k
in the peak of it all
and a bunch of stripper live there.

[Brock Landers]

JJ, i have an aunt and uncle who moved from Temecula, CA to Las Vegas. They got a mansion for a song...foreclosed property. TONS of it out there. You can make out like a bandit pal
