I agree with Al Matt. A job and somewhere to live is what you have
to plan. You know there's many positions in gaming. Just about each
hotel/casino website has a 'JOBS' listing. The RJ has a permanent
Find A Job/Find A House in the upper Right corner of their home page...

Your experience from past jobs may be put to use in Vegas...
You can obviously rent if you can't buy, but are you ready for the
lifestyle/weather change in the desert? Your gambling habits will change,
you'll develope different interests and again........there's the desert.
Focus on a job idea first...housing is less of a problem.
Through out ideas here, get feedback.
You'll need to start thinking of what you'd put in a resume.....if nothing
else, start writing down all the things you've done and can do, places
you've worked...is training school a possibility 'dealers' or a new trade...
the University is there for part time classes...don't know if they have a
community college.
If you have a chance...at a second chance, and it feels right GO FOR IT!
In re. to a place on this board where folks can hook up on their trips...
Most boards have a 'Member Meets', 'Vegas Get Togethers' topic where
you can post your dates and organize visits...GRANT? GOOD IDEA HERE!
