Default move to vegas or what?

Ok so I don't get it. Everyone says vegas is tougher than average, get really good before you go to vegas, etc. However I just spent a week there, and to be honest, I am no longer as comfortable as I once was playing online or in local home games, as I feel I have a much higher chance of losing in them despite knowing i'm an overall winner.

The fact is, I never _dreamed_ games could be as soft as they were there. It depended entirely on the casino I also discovered, as I played a few games at the wynn and the mirage that were just as tough as any i've ever played personally, but in the cheaper, less known rooms with less attractive waitresses and dirtier chips, I don't see how you can go wrong.

I tripled my bankroll in about 35 hours of play, and i'm convinced it wasn't a freak occurence, though I certainly am not drunk enough on my success to believe this can be an average expectation, but once again the fact was that I really had no concept of a 'soft game' before this, (in retrospect) it was simply incredible to me how easy it was to take money from these fish, and how rarely they called with even any kind of draw left to them at all... has anyone else had this experience and what should I do before I move out there? Met a guy while there who claims 1/2 NL is better than anything except super high stakes if you can afford it and that he's been playing it exclusively for two years averaging better than 50k which previously i'd have never believed really... either way, vegas kicks major ass and I was considering moving there even before I was up any money.
