I stay indoors during the hottest part of the day during the summer. If you love partying and gambling and have the funds (or a friend willing to pay your way), then this is the place to be. If you have a hot body, you could probably get a well paying job at a casino or strip club. You may make a considerable amount of money at those jobs if you can rake in the tips. However, there is no job security as it is a "right to work" state (in other words, you can be fired at any time for no reason). So, one week you could be living large, then the next laid off/fired and scrambling to pay the rent!
#1 That would be a "High Paying job not a WELL paying job.
#2 I have a high school diploma with a couple of years of beer drinking at a University AND I have an excellant "WELL" paying job.
#3 48 years here and Ive never had a room mate other the 2 X and one current wife and a few ....temporary ladies.
#4 Ive held "A" job in the same company for 25 years so that kinda shoots the jobsecurity issue down and I REALLY think you need to research the defination of "Right to work"

My suggestion.....don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya....the good state of Nevada does NOT require that you stay here....all highways go two directions.
