The other day I got a phone call with an offer to house sit for my Cousin for 5 months or so until he gets back to Vegas, rent free. For most normal people this is a no brainer, however I am not normal. My situation currently is ok, but not ideal as I am getting far to old. I work at home (Parents of course) and make somewhere around 45k every year for a software company doing tech support. Among my many talents, driving (when combined with drinking) has not been one of them and I currently have no drivers license and have not had one for a while. Put it this way, I have had a 10 year work history between two jobs, with no problems, without a license.

The house is on the outskirts of town on the east side, think near Sam's town and appears to be near several bus lines. Am I stupid for doing this? I think of it as a way for me to test whether I am any good at poker. I won't be quitting my job, but will probably be able for the first time in my life to play poker 3+ days a week for a few months. I have been out to Vegas a few times in the past and have accomplished a WSOP 1k event cash and have cashed in a Deepstack so I am not totally without skill.

I am still working out logistics (Need Broadband and Phone hooked up). I also would still have some expenses. For example I would probably be still paying cable bill for my Parents and my Cell. I would be coming out to Vegas with about a 3k roll+ Money in the bank. Obviously I need to take care of the driving situation but I feel this is too good to pass up.

Should I take the risk or should I continue to live my boring safe life? If this works out maybe I keep living here, although I would have to find some place closer.

Should go.

Should go, summer in Vegas is pretty tight.

Summer in Vegas is too hot

Youll hate it by August when its 120 every day

You should definitely go. Keep us updated on whatever you decide to do.

Don't encourage him to do this. It has failure written all over it and I don't want any two plus twoer to fail

Go and rent out the xtra bedrooms to would-be WSOP visitors from 2+2

If the price is right I'll rent

See, I knew my idea would catch on quick. Plus these renters would split cab fare with you to the strip. FK the bus system

Haha, thats the type of response I was looking for!

@BenTaylor I have gone in July last year for a weekend, as well as spent part of the last 2 June's. It was definitely hot, but I at least there was no humidity.
It was noted that no matter how much water I was drinking that I felt dehydrated.

Who needs a license? How the **** you gonna bring a girl home without a car? Worth the gamble to avoid the bus.

Good advice itt...not...driving without a license is dumb as ****

I run bad. If anyone is guaranteed to get pulled over for some minor offense it is me. The obstacle for me is Michigan's retarded DUI rules. I admit I was an idiot back when I got myself in trouble. Every attorney I have talked to in MI says to have 100 AA meetings under my belt before applying. I admit I am lazy. I have yet to force myself to go to AA meetings. The truth is I just need to suck it up and go to a couple of meetings a week for a year and get it over with. I have become comfortable living without it and maybe this little excursion will give me some motivation.

Damn, how many DUIs are we talking about?
