OP said he's from Chicago--if you've ever driven in Chicagoland, 45 minutes can be the time required to get you from one side of a suburb to another. Probably not far enough away to keep out of trouble.

From the OP's comments, he may have some issues w/ self control. Don't know if Vegas is the best for him (gambling, drugs, sluts fairly easy to come by there). OP said father wants him to goto 4 year school--does he?
