Also if you're looking to build a career in the technology business, Vegas is not the place to do it. There are a lot of cities where you could more easily break into tech companies than Vegas.

It is possible to be hired from out of state directly into a decent job in Las Vegas. There are people who post here who have done it. For most people, though, it is a question of knowing people and networking your way in. Or having the skills that Las Vegas is looking for. A great line cook can make a phone call and get a $20/hr job tomorrow in Las Vegas. But you'll need a specific skill set for that kind of easy job search.

The sorts of questions you're asking tell me that you haven't done ANY research on your own. When you start asking better questions, you'll start getting better answers. Right know your questions smack of, "Please do all my research for for me."

I get what you're saying as far as the infrastructure of LV. So I'll def need a car, right! I was planning to move with @ least $5000 in my pocket and figured I could at least work at BurgerKing. I mean workers come and go at those types of businesses regardless of location so being a newbie I thought wouldn't Hirt my chances. Im living off min wage in NYC already so I figure my money would stretch over there until I found something within my field.

Hmmm...you've def given me something to think about. Hopefully I'll get more replies from locals. Actual replies and not rude comments.

^^Plenty of those kind of people here too and addicted to gambling!

The fact is, the rules here DO direct people thinking of relocating to a particular place to read the existing forum threads before asking questions. Doing that helps to focus your questions on more specific issues that remain unanswered after you've read (you can use the search function to look for information on specific topics). People here have a lot of information to offer, but answering the same general questions repeatedly does ruffle some feathers.
