Yes, Following up on what Scott said. I read Nolan's column as well, very informative, yet a sad dose of reality. Being in NY here, the cost of living is high, many people laid off from NYC stock mkt related jobs, etc etc. I worked at golf course for a few years and did alright. Was wondering if in LV, with the ton of golf courses, maybe being a starter, pro shop guy, etc etc. They dont pay a ton, but golf courses take a lot of people to run and Id think maybe some jobs available at some but I have no idea about LV.
secondly, major area of concern to me and fletcher has alluded to this is the crime in LV. Nolan, Im curious your comment on this, I have been in nice working class area my whole life, never have lived in the inner city or near it and seen shootings,drugs,many burglaries,etc.. I was also looking at different apt complexes in the LV area within 10 mins of the strip and such, saw some decent prices, but again could be shit areas.. I remember Fletcher saying to avoid the area near stratsophere, etc. Is there any decent apartments, I know to avoid N.Las Vegas as well, bad area. I obviously cant afford anything in the suburbs yet, what apt complexes would either of you reccomend, or areas within maybe biking distance (2-3 miles) from the strip, or like 10 min car ride, and not in an area where Id or someone else would hafta fear for their life, getting robbed every time they walk around, etc
This may sound stupid and not making any sense, Im just trying to raise general points here all over the map, I know Nolan said 25k minnimum to live, thats fair enough. I am asking basically about specific areas re:crime and such, because its hard enough making a damn living be it gambling or anything else, let alone worrying about yourself every second your walking around, not a pleasant feeling....anyway, apparently jobs in sportsbook industry not out there, would be cool to break into, but 8-9 an hr just wont pay the bills, apparently too many 20 somethings around it sounds like...Thanks in advance for replies, and happy capping, g luck to all this weekend and the season

ealing cards, yes, thats a point, Im down on Long Island not near upstate but Id maybe look into that. Got a few tax issues regarding gambling also I wanna get cleared up at some point I guess can just look up an accountant and ask em... Thanks for the help Nolan, if you have anything to add post it, I may have more thoughts later as I ponder things, keep up the good work for this site,
