thito_da_skins_fan Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have decided to move to Las Vegas. Obviously, it's only big news for those who care. My family told me a few months ago they had been planning to move to Las Vegas. The decision didn't really have any affect on myself since I've lived on my own for 3 years now. However, I've been thinking about going with 'em ever since and finally decided it's best for me. I've seemed to talk one of my boys into going with me. It didn't take much convincing. We're planning on getting an apartment within a few miles of the strip. At first, it was a hard decision. I've lived in Sterling my entire life. Everything I know is here. But after much thought, and my 23rd birthday around the corner, I can't think of any reason not to go. Except the Redskins. But, I figured with DirecTV, the NFL Sunday Ticket, and Extremeskins, I can't go wrong. With that said, the hardest part for me is going to be missing the DTC tailgates. I won't, obviously, be able to attend every home game anymore. I do, however, have plans, already in the works, to fly back for a few. Off the top, I'm thinking opening day and a few primetime games. You can take Thito out of FedEx, but you can never take FedEx out of Thito! Anyways, most of you probably don't care. Some of you may. I don't have an exact move date as of yet, but I should be gone by the end of April..... May at the absolute latest. And finally, I can't wait!!!!!

dchogs Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 sweet. welcome to the west coast. it's a tough housing market to break into right now...expect apartment prices to be very high as well (esp. close to the strip). congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Be careful!! A lot of people that live out there are degenerate gamblers. I've known a few people that have moved out there, only to move back after a year or two b/cuz they gambled away all of their money. But, as long as you have common sense and are not prone to throwing your money away, it should be a ton of fun! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually been looking at apartments online and found prices to be VERY low. At least compared to where I live now. I've been told Vegas has a low cost-of-living. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but so far I've found it to be pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyRules Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 thito_da_skins_fan, Congrats. Vegas is one of our favorite cities. I know you will enjoy it; there is so much to do out there. Only drawback - traffic. I've been told an average of 9,000 people move there each month. It's hard for them to keep up with the infrastructure. I'll be out there for March Madness, a trade show (mid-April) and another trade show the beginning of May. Perhaps we can hook up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartskins Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thito: Congrats on the move. I hope he doesn't mind me suggesting it, but maybe send a PM to skin-n-vegas. He lives out there and might be able to help with the move to Vegas. Good luck out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to actually have money before you can gamble. :laugh: Your advice is noted and understood. I've already been warned. I'm not a big gambler. Living in Vegas, I know I WILL gamble at times. Common sense does take you a long ways. Having family and friend(s) there also helps. I should be fine. Originally posted by SonnyRules thito_da_skins_fan, Congrats.

I heard traffic is a *****. But, so is NOVA so I'm used to it. I should be out there by the time of your trade show. Send me a PM around that time.

RedskinsNation Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Vegas is the absolute best during football season. Im thinking about going to the game vs. the Cardinals next year too. Hopefully there will be a ton of us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUSTINMFOX Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 By the way.....you won't need DirectTV.... There's 20-30 sportsbooks I would recommend watching the game over anywhere other than Fedex here... You'll love watching the games in Vegas...trust me...make a small 5-10 dollar bet and drink for free the whole game at Mirage or Bellagio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsofwashington Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 With Jet Blue flights from Vegas into DC you should be able to make more games than you think. If you buy the tickets in advance, which should be easy since the games are scheduled waaaaaaaaay in advance, you could fly round trip for about $150. Get one of your boys to pick you up at the airport and take Monday off. You could easily make 2-3 games in DC. Vegas! Lucky ****. Don't forget to double bag it. Heh!

Dead Money Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Congratulations Thito, at 23 its time to go (you can always come back) Watch out for the chicks at bars... You may wake up broke and sore :laugh: I'm relocating in the next 12 months but I haven't chosen the lucky city yet!!! Warmer weather than Jersey, thats for sure. Maybe I'll move south and take your spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
