What book have you been betting at?
Moved to Vegas...

Harrah's, Westgate, Treasure Island, Casino Royale (Will Hill), Stations, Venetian, TI, Mirage, Strat, Jerry's Nugget etc etc.... I go to them all depending on lines. I look at Vegas Insider for best lines and go to the place with the lesser juice or the better line. Sometimes they change by the time I get there but usually I can lock in slightly better value that way.

Hope your venture is going well! I've been to Vegas about 9 times now, twice in the last 4 months. Now thinking of living out there for 6 months of each year February-July, coming back to New York in August.
I feel weather wise it's the best of both world's and to be honest, at 30, single, no kids, running my own businesses, I said why not?
I know I can get business in Vegas for my line of work, plus I am willing to caddy each morning at the golf courses and work a night job 2-3 nights a week on top of that to have some income like a regular person.
I have savings behind me and wanted to invest in a timeshare or just buy a small condo where I can lease it out 6 months at a time. So many ideas but the bottom line is, the lifestyle of Vegas is so much more pleasurable than New York especially during our winters.
I would love to have a franchise of my lighting business out there that will run itself for the 6 months I'm back in New York. My plan now is to come out for 1 months time, and try this all out. I will go pitch my lighting to casino's that already have installed lights that are broken and crappy, call the golf courses and get out caddying, and then keep a youtube journal of all my wages for each day to see if I can make it with the gambling as well.
If you have any tips it would be appreciated! Hope all is well. My place of stay is always @ The WestGate for the sportsbook and peace and quiet. I go to Caesar's at night for the women

Heya Gekko!
I've been out here for basically 3 months and I like it so far. I'm doing fine but nothing spectacular either. I trade stocks though so that's my real gig... betting is just on the side so you could say we are in the same boat there. I haven't experienced the summer heat yet so I'm not looking forward to that but there's AC and the pool right?
I think your lighting business would do really good here so props to you and best of luck with that venture. The one thing to be wary of is that casinos live and die by the state of the economy. Things are good now but when an inevitable downturn comes about, you will probably see a good bit less business. I've always thought that Vegas is a good indicator of how the macro economy is truly doing--- false jobs reports and employment numbers to the side.
I don't know if you've looked into neighborhoods and such but if you are looking for better areas I'd check out Sun City/Summerlin or Silverado Ranch. Traffic is a total mash f*ck if you are coming from Summerlin area right now though because of "construction." You might know already but when driving to the Strip use the Paradise/Koval back route. It's significantly less traffic so you'll get to where you are going about 5x faster on weekends/rush hours... esp. if going to somewhere on the E side of the Strip. Also, look up the free garages... not tons left now but they still exist and it will save you some money. Anyhow, Silverado Ranch would probably be my No. 1 right now if I were to move out of my place, unless I were looking for a condo.
There's women all over the place out here and most all of them are looking to get some so it's great for that! There's also tons of gold diggers though so heed the flags and and drop a b*tsh if you haveta. I don't do the club scene really but it almost seems that there's a never ending list of bars to carousel.
Cheers and best of
to you out here brother!
