I honestly can't for the life of me figure out why everybody in the world doesn't live in Vegas. I'm glad they don't, but I don't understand how they choose to live somewhere else.

I really, really don't get it.

Irie, I'm curious why you think this. Having only visited Vegas a few times, I've often wondered why so many people are moving there. Not that it's not a fun city to visit - but what is it about LIVING there that makes it so great? I'm just not feeling it when I'm there.

I guess some people just love the desert, but I'll take the ocean anyday.

Just remember to factor in the cost of living for whatever city you are thinking about moving to. Depending on what you pick, the cost of living difference could be HUGE. Some places in California, $1000 a month on rent will get you a shoe box sized apartment; other places you'd be living like a king with $1000 a month. I suggest you research this using cost of living estimation . Good luck in whatever you decide.

Id die if I lived in Vegas, especially since I hate casinos.

Beef, you can't leave Buckeye country.
Look, I am 31, with a freaking kid, and I ten table 8 hrs a night... make some coin, and every other month to wherever the next WSOP event is... and do it that way. Leaving Buckeye country is -EV imo.

Las Vegas is a 40 minute flight for $129 from So CAl. When I was single I would go to Vegas 6-10 times a year. My best friend was going to Grad School at the time at UNLV. So if you have the money, I would pick So Cal, you get the best of both. And the guy who said a one bedroom is $1000, I would like to know where that is? Try $1500+ in Orange County for something nice. I am paying $3500 for a 3 bedroom house right now.

I'm about to move in with some cool guys for $375/month.

It's like more or less down the street from where Skipperbob lives, [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img].

I voted SoCal - IF you can afford the cost of living, that is (my bro just moved to Vegas from there, he's paying $880 a month for 1100 Sq ft in LV, compared to $1700 a month for equivalent space near Irvine).

As others have pointed out, there are many more ways to enjoy non-poker life in SoCal. I believe this would make it much easier to get away from the games to de-stress and recharge when needed. And as rohjoh points out, it's a quick and cheap trip from SoCal to LV. If your brother does end up at UNLV, it seems that you could have the option to hang with him for a few weeks or more at a time to experience the Vegas games, then get away from Vegas "life" by going back to SoCal when you need to.

You may want to ditch the Grand Cherokee, though.

Good luck with your decision.

I'm at work using Lynx and this would be a hassle. Someone please post a picture of Yugo's room (the one with the noose) and write the caption "You get what you pay for."

I vote SoCal because Carson Palmer played there.
