Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
Nice work, you did pretty good.
stay AWAY from downtown.
I live on south las vegas blvd (south strip) the nice area… there is a http://www.budgetsuites.com/ that offers weekly rates and it is nicely located by stores (cvs pharmacy, chilis 'i think', food for less and the silverton 'bass pro shop' casino is half a mile away) and freeways.
there is a bus stop right in front and no homeless people hanging out like in the downtown area
the city center is currently hiring for the end of this year and that is only a couple of miles fro here

You will never be bored in Las Vegas. Not only is it affordable, and very luxurious but full of activities. You don't have to gamble or have a lot of money to have a great time.
Here is a list of free attractions

and also tips on how to get cheap flight and cheap hotels.
All I can say is Vegas Baby!!
The further from the strip the better. The Southwest is a newer area and still building up. A lot of younger families have purchases houses in that area. It is outside of the 215 from Jones and west from there. Still has desert area out that way but quiet and safer than most. Schools are newer since it is a new area. Problem is there is no bus service to that part of the valley.
Food is actually pretty reasonable here except for bread. There is no local big name bakery here so all bread is trucked in from California. Utilities are high. Look for electric bill to be between $200 and $400 per month during the summer depending on the size and age of your home. Look for car license to be around $1000 a year depending on value and age of your car. Auto insurance is very high here.
it takes a while, ugotta become a police officer too and they would probably bump you up higher since ur a lready a marine and u have training form b4
whoa!!it looks like a PICTURE!
ur an amazing painter!:D
Great talent Der Mann.
North Las Vegas is good (not the old part of town near the city hall though).
Boulder City is good, my boyfriend lives there and it's a very cute town.
I would NEVER live downtown! never. The only people who live downtown are hobos
I'm not too familiar with Henderson, but from what I've seen it seems nice, though there are probably some bad parts, as with all cities.
Dude, I played craps w. Dennis Rodman in Vegas once, and it was…not so much an experience. Also, I have never heard of this place (and I go to Vegas about every other month, but I'm old, so whatever). If this is some cool happening place, I would suggest you get your bartending license and work at wherever you can, while pitching/schmoozing whoever hires bartenders at Scores. Eventually it will happen (although the place could easily become old news by then–the average lifespan of the "hot place' in Vegas is about 2 months).
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

40 to 50 k a year. not including tips
I'm often flying out to Vegas with work. I've used a few different websites but I'd say Expedia offer the best deal, often in terms of price and service. As a business traveller I like to know everything is taken care of which is why I tend not to go for the cheapest option.
the list right now is 1 1/2 years long im afraid, my dads friend needs one to put games in his bar. hes been waiting for a year now, so unless you know somebody then itll be a while. but you have to appear in front of the nevada board of gaming and present them your business plan. they really accept anybody, but you just have to wait. if you go onto the clark county website you can get more info on the board of gaming. good luck
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
