option A

When I arrive I stay with family memebrs in their spare bedroom. I will stay there until I land a job and can afford to get my own place.

option b

when I arrive have a place already lined up for around $500-$700 a month near my family members and eat with them to save money. I have been applying for any and every job there but I know its hard to land one without the proper work cards and obv the local address is important. My family members all have steady jobs and they told me it is pretty easy to get a job. they can hook me with jibs so im thinking option b is better due to not having rules or if I want to stay up late I wont have to worry about disturbing anyone.

I have been to vegas a bunch and just absolutely like it there. So much stuff to do and obv poker is huge since im about 3 hours away from any casino and I like the live grind better than online.

any advice will be helpful

thanks in advance
4k????????

That will last you a week out in Summerlin. Try the East side around Hollywood area. Plenty of decent cheap places over there. I have tenants that are satisfied with the area.

Can you stay with your relatives free until you find a job? If so, this MIGHT be viable.

What do you do for a living? Getting a job may not be so quick or easy.

Also, with your bankroll, you're going to have to live a boring life for a while until you get good cash flow. Vegas can be fun, but fun in Vegas doesn't come cheap.
