How much does a dealer get paid in vegas? Taking into consideration the insane amount of rake that B&M's take in ... and the tips, which the dealers apparently split ... and the costs of running a casino ... I can't imagining it being super high, otherwise more people would end up working as dealers ... but I hear they get great benefits though

$700 to become a dealer? I would be all over that... ALOT of pros started out as dealers... Gavin, Fischman, Awada... I dunno what you would do for living expenses till you get going since Im sure living in LV is expensive. Im a college student and if that doesnt work out for some reason I know what my next goal in life would be... dealing what else. Anyways I say go for it if you can, you will get to see so many hands... and if you can make 50K a yr, thats good too lol.
Remember the golden rule, always leave yourself outs. You dont want to be driving Knish's truck! lol. |

Good luck to you, whatever you decide.
Reading this thread makes me respect you not wanting to be paid for posting here even more, btw.... sounds like you could use the money. |

Recently I took a similar chance and moved to another city in hopes of a better opportunity. While everything hasn't gone exactly as I'd planned I feel like I made the right decision. If this is what you want to do, go do it. You will always have others trying to talk you out of anything you want to do, but if this is what you want, give it a try. There's nothing to lose, but everything to gain. I think by relocating it's made me a stronger person and I've been able to enjoy different things in a new city. I have a better attitude because I don't feel like I'm "trapped" and/or wasting my time somewhere I don't want to be. If things don't work out, you've got 2 choices. You can go back to the miserable spot you came from with your tail between your legs, or you can make some sacrifices and do what you really want, where you want. It might not be easy, but in the end it'll be well worth the struggle. Everyone needs to take a chance sometimes and that's what can make all the difference. Good luck.

If your not happy now then what do you honestly have to lose? You want to wait around until you ARE stuck in that job you have now? I remember people from my past who I considered a little lower on the scale than me, never really kept a steady job, moves around when the rent caught up to them etc... and while I can't say I would be comfortable getting to that point in life I seem to remember they were never as miserable as some of the people I work with, even some who make more than me. Yea they got their nice big house and 3 cars and all that stuff you see on TV, but they are putting in 50 hours+ a week just to pay the friggin finance charge on what they owe, how can they possibly be happier than my old friends who seemingly had nothing? Obviously finding somewhere in the middle of those two extremes is much better, but you get my point. In another thread in the general forurm I discussed where my wife gave up a 25k a year job to be a stay at home mom, we sure miss that money like hell, but we are much happier than we could possibly have been if she stayed working. Do what you can to be responsible but not a slave to the grind.
