I'm turning 21 earlyish next year and i'm looking to do some travelling/working abroad for a while.

Rough guess on how much it costs to rent small 1-2 br apartments in vegas?
How much money would u expect to spend a month on utilites/food?
How easy is it to find a job in vegas?

any other info u thinks necessary?

i'll prob think of alot more questions later

IU've talked top a couple of locals and when i do move here this winter, it'll be in the South Point casino area.I'm budgetting $1500 a month for rent and expenses non gambling related, i'm 30 though so my days of sleeping in "crash" pads is over.If your 21 get some roomates and have a blast!

Balla on a budget lol.I live in SW Ct which is one of the most expensive areas in the Tri-state.For me $1500 would cover everything (I own my car), no kids, coke addicted girlfriends ect. plus the bonus of playing good solid poker at Foxwoods is more than enough for me.

It's because after being out here you become cynical.If your 21 do it, what do ya have to loose?If you had a wifey n kid i'd say don't cuz you do have something to loose.Half of the battle of being a sucessfull gambler is having that option to go broke with little consiquence.Be fearless and prosper!

This site does not result in endless spamming by agents, unless you initiate contact with a particular agent.

Rentals start REALLY low, and go to obscenely high, so you can define your own range.

I am planning to move to Las Vegas next year. I will be buying eventually, but perhaps renting for a year to look around. I have spent hours on this site and I think I am zeroing in on what is exactly right for me.

Good luck.

also would be cool for ppl to break down what they spend a month on things like rent and food (if it's not too personal) for idiots like me who have no idea.
