Not quite, the misssus will be joining me @ the year's end, then we'll be here for good. As for work, I'm a project manager for the largest mechanical contractor in Nevada, currently working on the Fontainebleau resort project. Once I'm done here, I'm headed to the new terminal @ McCarran or the new Vet's Hospital on the North side.

Phuk NO!!!!!

14 years ??? Try it being 30 years in June for me :banghead: :banghead: :screwy: Mark
-
I forgot to mention it but for Skip and Brad GOOD LUCK to both of YOU ;D ;D Hope everything works for ya all, and keep us posted, the thot of being somewhere different has crossed my mind many times, actually out of SO CAL... Mark

yeah, because of what i do (internal cost IT work) we are first in line to get laid off....and IT people are dime a dozen in orange county....you can throw a rock and probably hit one.....and a good percentage of them are looking for work so the salary's are real low out here....with the cost of living....forget it....i cant afford to live here anymore. ive been looking around a lot in the past year....i had my eyes set on havasu for a long time....i thought i could go out there and swing the sticker biz.....but then reality set in....vegas looked to be the best....close to the river....mead is right there....jobs are paying a little less there, but the cost of living is a fraction of whats out here.
I can live in a mansion for what i pay for my 3 bedroom apartment....and im not exaggerating one bit. it just makes sense.
...and for skip....i cant be more happier for him....he got the shit covered short end of the stick from the state....and now lets say hes going to be livin comfortably. congrats on the new job man.
-
I know you are not exaggerating about the rent and the cost of living here in the OC, I am living it also, like I know so many are also. :banghead: It's just been a little harder for me because of the fact that I have been at my job for as long as I have been. :banghead: The missus has no prob relocating, its just me thats the holdup, but thats been changing :screwy: Once again I hope all works well with you Brad :) Mark

terry, when/if things get serious to where im going to move out that way, i'll hit ya up....i've been findin great (some too good to be true) deals on craigslist....but after reading what oc2vegas went through (paying rent on a foreclosed house) ...ive got my guard up.
-
good thinkin, we have run accross some scams. the ole lady researches who owns and when baught how much and all that.
-
Come on out to vegas the weather is perfect for the lake...
Livin is cheap. first moved here and payed 1100 for 3 bedroom House.
I know own a even bigger house and my Mortgage is only 1200 a month.
In the nice side of town. Almost 4 years now and i will never move back to Orange County...
Luckie which Contractor are you workin for.

Brad let me know how it works out with the Wynn. I grew up in Vegas, and always keep an eye out for IT jobs out there.

Good luck to you but I dont think it would be possible to start as early as Monday.
Working for a gaming company in Las Vegas requires a Sheriffs Gaming Card, not hard to get as long as your not a retard but you would have to be offered the job, go down and wait in line for "HOURS" filll out the paperwork, wait for "HOURS", get interviewed and maybe an hour later walk out with your card.
I guarantee that the Wynn will also do a drug test and physical which although not a big deal will take time to do.
Possibly Tuesday/Wednesday to start.
....but after reading what oc2vegas went through (paying rent on a foreclosed house) ...ive got my guard up.
Let me know any addresses of any place you look at, the wife got real good at checking into public records of owners and finding the scammers.
But remember you all followed me out here from the OC!

If B-rad is working the computers and not dealing with money , i dont see why a sheriffs card is needed. Unless they changed ???
I do believe he needs the physical though :o

Every slot machine in the building, auto shuffler, etc deals with gaming/money and they are all connected to the Servers/Network. Unless the Wynn is doing something new.....

yes, i am aware of the screening process for casinos. I was advised by my recruiter about this plus i had and idea of how it would pan out. Originally she said it was a direct hire perm position but said they are now going to do a temp to hire process to get us in there then start the long drawn out process with the wynn's HR to get us hired. they are desperate to hire people 'yesterday'.
This isnt my first rodeo...I currently work for an FDA regulated company. from the day they gave me the offer, it was 3 weeks before i could start (background, paperwork, approvals, etc)....then it was another 3 weeks before i could get my own account to log in.....i spent my first 3 weeks with my nose buried in FDA documents, guidelines, etc.
im not anxious to start as soon as monday....thats a huge change in a short notice. i would like to have some time to get things tied up here before i go live out of a suitcase and surf chromeys couch ;D for who knows how long.

i swear....everyone i have mentioned this vegas thing to has asked in some way or another if im going to change the name of the site to reflect vegas in some way or another.
the answer across the board is NO. no reason to. we are all still from the same general area and boat in the same general area.
even if i was moving to michigan, i wouldnt change the name. ::)

Right, to live there ya gotta work there other wiese it would be full, kids runnin around and shit. Even if you own a trailer there. So, you get a little part time job. I talked to a maintenence guy there yesterday who rents a trailer from them, $250 a Mo. I can rent any boat there for $15 a day, discount at the store and grill.

unfortunately there's a middle man (staffing agency) who is giving me the run around. i pretty much sat in my truck all day thursday waiting for a second interview with the boss's boss which was a good sign never happened....and the staffing agency would tell me they would call me right back, but never did....i would keep having to call them.....then they went home for the day without contacting me....i had to call a lady at home on her cell to get someone to tell me wtf was going on.....didnt get back home until after midnight :mad: ...totally unprofessional.
now its a "wait and see" kinda deal....they havent said yes or no. :screwy:

Wow , sorry man. That sucks...... Welcome to the casino's :banghead:
I would not even be at one if i didn't need the ins for my daughter..
I was making way more money before the casinos, but could not afford the ins :screwy:

I told you Dog, ya gotta speak espanole, or at least get a mean east LA accent......no shit. People are leaving here by the droves. You can cruise around and count moving trucks in driveways. Four foreclosed houses on this street, eight on the street two blocks over. The good news is rents are dropping, you see the same places for rent week after week getting cheaper and cheaper...well some of them.
-
ok....send your lodging and gambling expenses to OC2Vegas
You must of hit your head or something!

well shit i hope for the best for you brad...skip im hoping he turns things around and the vegas thing really works out for him...and im hoping with all you boys possibly moving here we can have more of an attendence at the lake mead kick it days
-
so ive been using chromeys address on my resume to get my foot in the door....and this recruiter just called wanting to set up an interview and i told them im in socal now but will be flying into LV at around 3.....so he quereys me on my status of where i live and i explain that i live in socal but im trying to relocate to vegas.
he proceeds to tell me very rudely that i can call him back after living there for 6 months because that is their policy cuz they have too many people coming and going.....
i told him his policy was very discriminative and hung up. :mad:

F*%$ that. The experience I have had with Las Vegas staffing agencys is that they end up charging the employee a Fee for placing them. Bunch of rip off artists.

the employees? are you sure?
i have been working with staffing companys (temp, temp to hire, direct hire, etc) most of my carrer and the fee's are paid by the employer.
example - if the job pays $30/hr....the employer is charged $35/hr for my services.
