Well I'm kind of old and was at a low point in my life so I wasn't afraid for my personal safety. I was actually kind of hoping someone would **** with me so I'd have an excuse to unload my bad mojo on them.
But most people in that area are at a low point and they're just trying to get by.
- coming back from poker sessions in the wee hours, having to work my way through clusters of strangers hanging around, or of cops, to get to my door
- shopping at the Walmart there, to save money obv, being constantly accosted by extremely belligerent and desperate panhandlers. These aren't Strip types, hanging out flying a sign. These folks can't get to the Strip.
- continually seeing blood on the ground around my place
- worry about property crime both on my place and car
- hearing domestic fights among the neighbors all the time
- White Castle girl asking if I wanted a locals discount. I said sure, but I don't have proof where I live. She asked where. I told her, she said "eeew!" I said "right?" (that one was funny not negative)
- shortly after I bailed out of town, the first Vegas murder of 2016 happened at the place I was living
I am now back in California near my kids. I have a good job and live with my most excellent girlfriend who I met this year. My child support is crushing and I drive Uber to make bankroll money. GF encourages me to build the roll to the point poker becomes a legit side income. Life has improved considerably.
I kind of roll my eyes at my 'living in Vegas' time but, there is a YOLO element there too. Glad I survived, I mean, did it.
Edit: this was indeed a weekly and yeah. That's no way for a human being to live. I heard a joke about weeklies with pools. You want dead body floating, or cigarette butts? Butts pool costs extra.
