Moreover, before going in a few weeks, I secured a part time job at $5k per year for 3 months work, as I don't want to work too much at my age. I lived in LV for over 14 years during my earning years and it was very good to me and my wife as employees, but not gamblers. Unfortunately, she died there of cancer at an early age. Of course, that was in the late 80's and early 90's before all the minorities moved in.With a retirement investment account which I could live on until I'm a 100 without any pension, I think it is time to try to go back and have some fun with minimal football bets. I think this is the only way you can survive there. Any other way, I would advise against trying to make it. When I lived there, so many of my friends were in bankruptcy court. So many tried to live the dream, but they ended up broke. . Would love to hear how this story has played out I am curious how this one worked out.

They can also both be quite pricey. They're both very nice, but you pay for those niceties. View Post \| View Thread	mr_bollox	7	March 24, 2018 View Post \| View Thread

replied to sls vegas in Las Vegas Stayed at SLS, it is the old Sahara. Rooms remind me of Linq, they both seem to trying to master the 'tiny house' concept. I was in the World Tower, and beds were small. I don't need a huge room, though. Positives are that the people are nice and service is good. Also, SLS is located on the monorail stop, so you can get to the Strip quickly and cheaply if you want to go gamble at some of those properties. They do seem to be trying hard to appeal to the hipster crowd. The sports book is located inside Umami Burger, only positive there is that they had kiosks where you could place wagers inside the casino.

Super 8 on Koval does have the advantage of being located right next to Ellis Island Casino & Microbrewery. Ellis Island is still home to the best deal in Vegas, the $6.99 steak dinner. If you want to cut down on your food expenses, eating there several times during the week will do it, so I would recommend staying there. It is a Super 8, though, so you know what you're getting as far as residence. View Post \| View Thread	Beergut	496	October 21, 2012 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Minimum needed to live the dream in Las Vegas Wow, I'm amazed this thread is still kicking. Hope nyslim is still okay. vlps5122, There is no better time than once you first graduate to take a huge risk like that. Make a deal with your parents that you'll give yourself a year and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, you can always get a job in Vegas and gamble in your free time.

replied to Minimum needed to live the dream in Las Vegas conrad, At least you went out there and made a run at it. Better to risk it all and fail than to never try at all. Again, this is a mental exercise, not a plan of action here. mafioso, You are talking about making a living at sports betting. I'm not specifically referring to any type of game, just saying regardless of your game of choice, if you can win $100 a day on average, you can make it, because you'll be making $3000 a month or more. I don't even know what kind of a bankroll you'd need to play poker to try to make a living at it, for instance, which is why I didn't specify the game. I appreciate your replies, though, at least you put some thought into it. View Post \| View Thread	Beergut	496	July 06, 2012 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Well, it looks like I'm headed back to Vegas... in Las Vegas Did you get a chance to play any Pai Gow? And did you take a shuttle or cab from the airport? Glad you had a good experience. My father is a big fan of Gold Coast because of the low table limits. He can play blackjack for ten hours and just kill a day doing that.

replied to Minimum needed to live the dream in Las Vegas If a desired goal is 3k a month, winning $100 a day over thirty days would get you there. BTW, I'm not going out to Vegas to "chase the dream", I'm just trying to figure out what someone needs to bankroll to do that. It is interesting to me that we have so few on here who tried to make it. View Post \| View Thread	Beergut	496	June 29, 2012 View Post \| View Thread
created a topic Minimum needed to live the dream in Las Vegas If you think you want to 'live the dream' and move to Vegas and make a living as a sports bettor/poker player/professional gambler, how much money do you need? At a minimum, I think it would be $25000, if not more. Figure you need $10000 to pay for one year in rent at an apartment, including any security deposit. You need a $10000 bankroll to start out with, at a minimum, because even if you are betting small and only winning $100 a day, that bankroll ensures you 100 days of betting. The last $5000 I would keep in a bank account as an emergency non-gambling fund. If it doesn't work out and you go bust, you will at least have enough money to go back home and start getting on with your life. If you tried to live the dream and failed, no shame in that, at least you made your attempt. Start saving again, hope you learn from your lessons, and decide if you want to take another shot. Anyone went out there who is currently living the dream? How much did you take out there to get started? How long did it take you to become self-sufficient, where your winnings were paying for your living expenses? View Post \| View Thread	Beergut	496	June 28, 2012 View Post \| View Thread

replied to Sportsbooks are so outdated in Las Vegas If you took the people out and put kiosks in, you'd need people to explain to John Q, Public how to make the bet they want on the kiosk. Let's be serious, the average person struggles to do the self-checkout at the grocery store. You want that person to make a bet on a touch screen computer? You're incredibly optimistic about your fellow man. View Post \| View Thread	DanTos8715	19	June 27, 2012 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Vegas Comp's in Las Vegas If your offer is from Caesars/Bally's, it is under the Total Rewards program. I'd log into your Total Rewards account online and check your tier. The average gambler for TR is Gold. If your Tier Credits rate you at Platinum or above, you're above the average gambler.

replied to Well, it looks like I'm headed back to Vegas... in Las Vegas Take the shuttle from the airport to GC, it'll probably be $7 or $8. You don't have to pre-pay online, you can just go to the booth at the airport and pay for your pass there. It may take you a little while to get to your hotel on the shuttle, but if you're arriving a day before the event, it's not like you're going to be in a big hurry. There are buses that go from GC to Bill's Gamblin' Hall because Bill's used to be Barbary Coast, so there is a free way to get to the Strip. Now, if you want to just rotate between GC and Rio, you can. Just make sure you get the Total Rewards card at Rio, and the B-Connected card at GC so you can earn comp credit for your play. GC does cater to a more local crowd, but the food in the lounge there is decent. They usually run low table minimums at GC, like $5, which attract a lot of locals, although that may go up during the WSOP. View Post \| View Thread	ad1260	57	May 24, 2012 View Post \| View Thread
