Are you thinking of moving to Las Vegas without a job lined up? Are you planning to move here with no money? If you are, then I want to give you my insights on what you need to do to mentally prepare yourself to move to Vegas with no job and no money.
Some people will ask me if it is possible to move to Las Vegas without a job or a lot of money, and still be able to do well. It is possible that you can be moving to Las Vegas under those circumstances and still do well. However, to answer that question for every individual, the real answer is "I don't know" because I don't know you as a person. I know nothing about your skills as an employee, your employment history, your work ethic, your attitude, your outlook on life, or how much you really want to succeed. Those are all major factors in the equation that I cannot see about any individual who asks me this type of question. You are the determining factor in your success in your life.
Before you do move out here in a situation like this, the biggest thing you have to do first is be REALLY HONEST WITH YOURSELF. You have to acknowledge the reality of the situation. You are going to be moving to Las Vegas completely jobless. You are unemployed. You DO NOT have a paycheck coming in, and you are in a brand new city where you do not know anyone. You have to understand that you are in a tough spot, and that you do not have wiggle room to be choosy in the jobs you take.
Once you are here living in Las Vegas your first priority is to find employment at a business. You may very well have to work two crappy jobs just to have enough income to pay your bills and begin building your foundation out here.
This really applies if you do have a car in Las Vegas. You may have to learn the bus system out here just you have transportation initially. Once you get some money then maybe you can buy a bicycle. Once you save some more money you can purchase a scooter, and after that you can buy a used car.
It could take you several months, a year, or more to get to a point where you are economically stable out here. The transition you make moving to Las Vegas can be difficult enough by itself. When you add the financial stress of not being employed on top of that, it can make things much harder. However, in the end you are the one who will decide if it is worth it for you to go down that arduous road to build the life you want here in Las Vegas.

I did it, came here middle of the summer! ugh with 500 dollars and a prayer, me and my fiance was homeless in California.. definitely could not afford the rent in Los Angeles.. we got a U-Haul.. called up an ghetto apartment in Vegas.... no credit check or deposit from Craigslist.. and just went for it. gave the guy 450$ all of our money.. we didn't even turn on the gas.. so no cooking, we had no car had to learn the buses quickly and had to suffer it with that heat.. well with prayer.. and determination we both got jobs at Walmart that month we moved away from nasty Fremont.. got a car ... fast forward we have been here 3 years. we did it. I went back to school for my nursing and he got into security. both making good money.. mural to my story is.. have faith.. never stop grinding! hit the pavement and go!
Are you willing to do an interview to discuss what it was like moving here? If you are, please send me a message on Facebook. facebook.com/JacobslifeinVegas-281682135353468/
Thank you
awesome lady!! its the power of survival thrival skills ,hope you are doing really well now you guys deserve it I lived in L.A could NOT afford the rent its horrible in L.A
Outstanding
Girl you gave me hope me and my husband just did the same thing and we been here a month now and he cant fin a job im so worried . i cant work im 6 month pregnant and on bed rest he had one job interview at winco food and they did not hire him .i pray every day .we also came from LA we found a ghetto apartment also to move into .and had a few savings but its almost gone and rent will be due in a few days ..do you have any suggestions on some jobs he can get hired at asap
Does he have a specialty or a trade specifically that he does? How about taxi or uber driver for awhile ? is he good at any bartending /restaurant stuff? hit up all the casinos but he can drive Uber or cab for awhile thats always a way you can bring in money ,also any factory work?
If u want something bad enough u will always find a way
I agree with you
jonathan phoenix Amen
jonathan phoenix amen
jonathan phoenix Very true 🙏🏻 I tell this to my meth every few hours.
I was lucky enough to have my company pay for all my moving expenses including renting an apartment. Been here since 2003 and loving it! Only complaint is for people that come from California want to turn Nevada into California. You left that place for a reason.
As a Las Vegas native (born & raised here in Las Vegas, 3rd generation) the valley was better then than it is NOW.
Real Nevadans (only 14% of us are actually from the Silver State) absolutely hate the idea of "expansion".
Nevadans miss their small sleepy cowboy town that started going down hill in the late 80s.
We simply despise these new waves of people invading this town; REAL Nevadans can't stand any of you.
If we could put a "growth limit" on Las Vegas (like Boulder City which is also Clark County) we could easily fight off crappy transplants, our increasing crime rate, liberalism, Section 8 housing expansion, crowded neighborhoods & even the incoming ghetto Raiders. We're just a valley, we do not have room for the thousands of people who keep invading here! Stop making these videos, you're encouraging more (liberal) broke ass transplants to move here!🚫💯
your opinion means nothing
Lol couldn't come up with an original comment.
flyingtigers262 your company hiring salesperson... outside sales is good for me
@@elizal.8473 Shut Up and stop acting like you own the State of Nevada! 🤐
a great place for jobs for those without skills is the airport. There is always a job there
lewis key are they hiring now. ?
July 2018, one way United ticket to Las Vegas (2 hour flight) costs about $100 (including 1 checked bag fee) from Denver Colorado.
Renting a car one-way from Denver costs twice as much and takes many long hours to drive to Las Vegas. Expect total cost without motel stops about $300.
There are furnished 1-bed apartments in the Las Vegas area priced from $700 to $1100 per month in decent properties; some units are furnished for slightly higher rent.
You can book your apartment online before your departure to be ready when you arrive.
Uber and Lyft are everywhere in Las Vegas, so you don't need a car at the start.
Just book your apartment, fly in, ride Uber (under $30) to your new residence, and start your new life in Las Vegas.
After 30 days, you can swap your out-of-state driver license or state ID card with a Nevada card;
you need 2 documents to prove your 30-days residency (use a Nevada bank statement and your lease agreement), plus your social security card and driver license (or state ID card).
If you are self-employed, have a decent online business, or pre-arrange a job before your arrival, then you're all set.
*Vegas, baby!*
Great advise!
Just have the right mindset,and grind hard. I loved the advice
Thank you!
Because of the stadium being built and all the new construction jobs, rent is going up so fast now it's not worth living in vegas with the things you have to put up with, unless your making really good money. When rent was 800 for a nice apartment in henderson, it was ok, but now that apartment is going for 1100 or 1200, and most jobs are not paying more in Vegas, that's the biggest problem now.
Thanks Jacob for being 100% honest and real. I love your videos, they're very helpful! I do plan on moving out there after I finish up community college down here in San Diego. I'm trying to go to UNLV so yeah. Thanks for your awesome videos!
Juan Aviles Jr. You got it Juan! I do what I can to help people make a transition out here, but at some point everyone has to bite the bullet and just do it. There is nothing wrong with having some concern or even fear of moving out here. I had some myself because you're making a big transition in life, and going into unfamiliar territory. I've just noticed that some people come to me essentially asking me to guarantee that moving to Las Vegas is a good thing for them to do, which is something I'm not able to do because everyone is different.
Also u can find a staffing agency out there to
I'm so glad you posted this Jacob. Moving to Vegas with no decent money saved or job is very unwise. Also it's advisable to have marketable skills or multiple certifications or licensures under your belt. Things you can do on the side as a means to make money during the lean times. That's what I love about barbers and hair stylist. They can go anywhere and make a quick buck. People will always pay to keep themselves looking sharp. Plus they have to ability to pretty much name their own price for their services, as long as they are really good at what they do.
Yep. Having a trade skill like that will help you put food on the table. I don't advise people to move here blind, but it certainly happens. Some people are willing to do what is necessary to make it and others care more about comfort
Hi Jacob! I first moved to Vegas around 10 years ago when everyone made more money and things were still golden, I then moved back to the UK in 2010 to finish my degree. Fast forward, I am in serious debt and so I moved back here 4 months ago and am still shocked and jaded by the changes in this city but because I still look the same and kept my dance skills, I got a job at Piranha gogo dancing but it is supplementary and not constant enough so was struggling and applying to jobs nearly every day since last August and then FINALLY, I just got hired last week as a cocktail server at the Golden Tiki and its slow season so I am really grateful and happy for that! Thanks so much for your videos, they gave me hope and I am now in a better place!
You're welcome Idylle!
Jacob I moved to Henderson frm Philadelphia this past fed wanted to say ur a cool dude I watched u b4 i moved here and guess wat im still tuning in so really thanks 4 giving ur time because b4 I got here u were my visuals 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Daniel! I'm glad the journey was a safe one. Welcome to your new life!
I've been thinking about moving out there. I'm from California and have worked in a grocery store for about four years. I have about eight thousand dollars saved up but I'm scared that I won't find a job.
+devilshomie There are thousands of jobs available here. Finding an entry level type of job to get you started out here is not that difficult.
Thank you for this. A lot of young people don't get that life happens when you least expect it (cars break down, you get sick, friends bail on you). I would advise a years worth of rent before starting.
You're welcome Liza!
such a nice informal guy!
+LovelyIsMyChocolate Thank you!
ikr! such a sweetheart!
Thank you mztweety!
LovelyIsMyChocolate do you have any job
Just subscribed, and had a quick question Jacob... you say you had a job lined up in advanced, so how’d you do it? One thing I’m bumping into is whenever I get a call saying a job-place is interested in hiring me, they want me to come in for an interview (which I can’t until after I move). I’d move first, but for renting an apartment most places seem to require a paystub as a proof of income to qualify... so in other words:
You have to work first in order to move, but you have to move first in order to work. My girl and I are a bit stuck lol we like planning and are financially responsible. Already got our own vehicles but still live in Minnesota. Any advice?
Are we better off taking a trip to vegas to get a job lined up first? Do we begin working before we even come back to MN to begin moving?
now to everyone if you plan on getting a job at nearly any restraunt or casino you will have to get a series of cards like a sheriffs card tam card and health card.
I've watched a dozen of your videos now and love them. Thank you for all the information. I lived in California most of my life but tried Austin, Tx for the last couple of years. I like it here but it's getting too expensive. Just got laid off and have 6 months of Unemployment coming in so I am making the jump to Vegas. Of coarse, I will hit the ground running and looking for a job. I'm not lazy and have a career in HR. It's just nice to know my rent in a small, cheap furnished studio will be paid along with the food I need until I land my first job. What do you think of Siegel Studios to start? Can you recommend any clean and quite (no drugs or prostitution) weekly or monthly studios that would be good to hold me over a few months until I land a job and get a nice apartment? Thanks again for the informative videos. If I ever meet you, I'll buy you lunch to thank you for the info!
You're welcome Rodger! Welcome to Vegas my man!
I always go to Vegas on vacations...i love yor videos Jacobs ! Best regards from Rio de Janeiro
Rafael Cazes obrigado!
Great video! People also have to realize about the cost of living and pay rate differential. Depending upon where you're coming from it could be more or less. I know a lot of people that moved to Vegas and within a couple of years moved back because they weren't satisfied with the pay rate. Some move to Vegas to reduce the percentage of their cost of living. It is always very wise to get a job first and or have money saved up. It these days you should at least have 2 years of rent, utilities and food saved up ahead of time before you move somewhere without a job. Also applying at employment temp agencies can help tremendously too.
A Shimoda I forgot to mention, if Uber and Lyft is established in NV it would create some jobs! For those that want to move out to Vegas can keep those companies in mind.
A Shimoda Thank you for bringing up some very good points. You are dead on about Uber and Lyft as well. Many people across the country have lost their job and then started driving to replace or even surpass their previous income
JacobslifeinVegas The way the "government" is working on making the laws work for Uber and Lyft it might not be viable for operation till after Sept 1st, but then again who knows. Literally i'm starting to get more and more seniors taking the service here in Boston and if that generation is using it more than it's going to catch on like wildfire. So the government better get their ass in gear and start working because this on demand economy isn't going to go anywhere but up, and I mean globally.
I agree. That's why I think it's just a matter of time before Nevada allows Uber and Lyft. Not because the state wants to, but because the people want it. The younger generation is growing up with this sharing economy. This economy is normal to them, and they're not going to want to give it up when they are adults. Technology moves a lot faster than the government does, but I don't know if any amount of lobbying/protesting can stop some of the changes coming in our economy
determined to move out there within a few months.
Where's the best location to find an affordable apt?
Can i obtain Any work cards in California for Las Vegas.
You should have a job in Vegas giving advice to people we live in Milwaukee and want to come out there and live but listening to you I don’t know what to do because I know you’re right thank you Jay
I'm moving to Las Vegas NV and I've landed a job as an electrician and my girlfriend is transferring to a Vegas store. But the real problem is finding a place to rent. I've lived in Park City Utah for the last fifteen years and lived in Los Angeles before that and never had such a difficult time renting. These property managers request that you provide: bank statement, pay stub, tax return and sometimes an employment letter with salary and starting date. They also mentioned something about being first time residents/residents under one year as a reason for more of a security deposit. My starting date is determined by when I can move in. LOL It's really frustrating. My question is this- Is housing difficult to get or do you think we just found a rental agency that's just asking too much? Thank you for all the helpful videos!
+michael taylor Mine wasn't that difficult. I already had a job lined up with a starting date. I paid the deposit and the first month's rent before I actually moved in. I can see why some places would require much more simply because of the fact that people come and go so frequently in Vegas
I'll hopefully be moving to Vegas from Provo, Utah within the next 4-5 years. Maybe sooner if I can sucessfully launch my art career.
Been vacationing in Vegas for years,lived San Diego now Ohio, It looks like Vegas in a town with a high turnover in population.
+barry graham It is. Vegas is a very transient city, and Nevada is by far the most transient state in America. When I first moved here I read about how difficult it is for political experts to predict how Nevadans are going to vote in elections because the population changes so much from year to year.
Excellent advice, can be applied anywhere you go.
bro your videos make me wanna move to vegas ! Right now , I'm working on getting my motorcycle license and buy my bike. Hopefully, less than a month from now I'm gonna start applying and looking for a place in vegas ! going solo without knowing no one but I'm sure I can do it and meet new friends! 👌
Yep. Many have done it before you, and they were no smarter than you are Luis. Happy to help
Luis Gonzalez Me to
Did you go bro?
The happens a LOT in TEXAS.
Some make it. Some dont.
Those that dont end up in downtown on the streets
Your videos are awesome! me and my wife are anxious to move to Vegas. And after waiting more and more of your videos... I think we're convinced! Keep it up with the great videos! Thanks, man.!
What's the price of living like over there? Cause I live in south carolina and 10 bucks is good, that's liveable out here. You ain't gonna be ballin or nothin like that, but after you get settled and level off you ain't gotta live on bologna and cornflakes anymore. But it sux major bad yo, I hate it out here! I gotta move before I go postal on these fools!
Similar here. For a single person with no kids (and especially if they have no debt), then you could survive on $10/hr. Like you said, it won't be glamorous, but it can be done.
+JacobslifeinVegas Vegas sounds cool. Well not temperature cool! Does it get really cold at night? I think I could dig Vegas cause I got allergies and I hate swampy weather.
Yes! In the winter time it can get below freezing
+JacobslifeinVegas Whaaaaaat?! You guys don't get snow do you?
Maybe once a year, but it's very little
Love watching your videos. Quick question i have allergies here in NJ, which intern gives me bronchial problems, i hear the air quality is good for people with these type of issues what are your thoughts ??
I just started watching your video's today about moving to Las Vegas and theses are some good tips because Im wanting to move to Vegas.
my plan is to go visit out there for a week then get a job while im out there or apply for jobs before i go out there so i can just go to the interviews. also im planing out saving alot of money too
Welcome to the channel! I'm glad to hear you're going about making the move the right way
yeah im trying too
+Shonjae Janae You're on the right path. It's worth it to take the time to set yourself up nicely. Even with that it's important to be able to hit the ground running when you get here
your soo right and thank you for the advice
That's exactly hw I did it I got my flight frm philly to Vegas jan 2020 stayed at hotel club de Soleil over on west Tropicana ave for 2wks loved it went back to philly packed my shit was back here on my birthday feb 4th
How did you line up the job
That would be crazy to move anywhere without a job or a couple months of expenses saved..You might end up in a hot ass costume on the strip dying of dehydration or pan handling on the pedestrian walk ways. I might be moving there without a job but i have money saved and i will keep my job in cali until i have a job in vegas but i only work 3 days a week so easy to do for me. I do have a question though...getting an apartment vs renting a house.....they seem to be close in prices?
That's up to you. I lived in apartments over half a dozen years while in college, and I'm not anxious to live in another one. I prefer a house but do what makes sense for you
Great video this guy makes videos answering every question I had before I moved to Vegas
$10,000 Jacob. Thats my living expense goal. 8 grand more and I dare say you'll have a new neighbor and new friend! I just wish progress was faster!!
Sounds good johnny. No need to rush yourself. Vegas will still be here when you're ready ;)
+mksrookies I meant that the 10 k will be my emergency fund. My rainy day stash tucked away should I ever need it.
"You have to be willing to do it."
It's about your will. Make motivational messages for yourself and hang them by your front door to remind yourself that it's important to you.
Spend no money except on food and do the Ramen Route. Ramen, with frozen vegetable (your choice), and leftover meat thrown in. I enjoy frozen peas and chopped pork roast meat with ramen. (Use a handful of meat, just 3 ounces is all you want.) Super cheap.
Clean up your credit and don't act like a vagrant. Expect problems and overestimate your costs so you won't get blindsided by unexpected expenses.
Leave the girls (or boys) alone you're not a big prize broke, so you'll only be attracting people worse off than you, anyway.
Be happy, live the dream.
Signed, an Illinois evacuee,
Johnny Klebitz unless u live out of a car ,, and get a postal box and storage unit for your stuff.. 10k would be food for the year with car insurance and maybe gas
I want to go so bad and im willing to work and I have several relatives out there but I just don't want to be a burden to them while I'm trying to restart my life. I have an 11 yo daughter also. Her dad can come if he wants..
Im planning on doing it really soon. Im super excited!!!
im hoping to move to las vegas and plan on working with cirque du soleil, how far is a local area from the strip and is traffic a hassle?
I am moving from the Bay Area just like you have and I am scared honestly I work in SF planning on moving there may 27th been researching jobs , and places to live
+Brandun Clay I remember that fear also Brandun. It's intimidating to be making such a change, but I'm very glad I chose to make it. The biggest thing is to just get started with a place to live and a job. You can also switch them later after you become more familiar with the area.
+pete smith certainly I have been in the army reserve about 6 years now . Currently I am a student and I work here in California in customer service at Alcatraz cruises most my jobs have been customer service Home Depot , Safeway , current job , and a holiday ice rink . I can do well as a supervisor because of my leadership qualities . But have never done any drugs I drink occasionally and the only thing i have smoked before was hookah
+JacobslifeinVegas I have a lot of background in customer service that is what is mostly on my resume I found a place called the meridian apartments on east flamingo for 700 a month do you think that's attainable ?
Brandun Clay Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Especially if you're working on the strip. A lot of the jobs in the hotels and casinos pay $14+/hour, and in some jobs you can get tips. If you are working on the strip, then you can certainly survive without a car in Vegas, since you'll be living so close. That would help reduce your cost of living certainly.
Im a local Jacob! Im 18 starting fresh with my first job can you do a video on surviving As A Local in Vegas? P.S im thankful u make these videos please continue to do more...i would also suggest to do a fininical spending video in vegas because its rough in the begining
Hi Andrew. What part about "surviving" in Vegas would you like to know?
JacobslifeinVegas basically a budget video where you give tips about how to save money😃
i like it for one i'm very strong in the industry, being a toolmaker i also went into chemical and major assembly for lam research....
Yes! i love your videos! Very inspirational but realistic in the same tone. Considering relocating from Washington, dc. Never been to vegas or the west coast for that matter. Visiting soon! I am a bartender hopefully it will be easy to find work. Keep making videos lol
Thank you Stephanie! Will do!
So my question is what is the best way to move down there filling out applications to casinos now
What do you mean by "best way to move?"
Hey bro, can u please do a video about Public Schools in Clark County. People moving with families need to know the situation. Also, it might attract more people interested in working as Teacher. Thanks
+Simon Bermudez I'll do quite a few videos on schools and education out here in the future. It is just such a huge topic to cover, and I have other areas I'm putting a lot of energy into at the moment
The school district is in the process of being broken up into smaller units, always a need for teachers.
I'm a teacher in Oklahoma considering relocating out of state. What do you mean about the situation of schools in Clark county? Please fill me in.
this is a amazing video and it applies to wherever anyone moves too
Thank you jonny
Jacob, enjoyed your post. I've made the decision to move to Vegas about a year ago. I'm working on employment aspect however, sometimes I get the feeling that they look at my address and believe i'm not serious about the move. I work in the Human Service field so I believe I can find employment if I just pack up and move with about 20K saved, but I prefer to have a job lined up before hand. Any advice regarding the address aspect of my comment? Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Robert
Have you visited in person to look for work?
No I have not however; I plan to spend a few days there in July. Most of the prospect only accept online applications.
Based on my experience, talking to people in real life makes a HUGE difference. Even before I went to apply for a job online inside one of the casinos, I made sure to talk to the manager beforehand. After a few minutes of talking, he gave me his number and said he would keep an eye out for my name when he receives the application.
I got hired for a job before I had even moved here because I came in person, and let them know I was moving here in a few weeks. When they meet you in person, they know you are far more serious than all of the other out of state people that come across their way because the majority of them flake and never show up. Meeting people in person will greatly distinguish you from the others. Do everything you can to prepare yourself for you visit in July by setting up interviews, and getting in contact with places you have already applied. Even if they are not doing an official interview, I would go in just to show your face and introduce yourself to a manager.
JacobslifeinVegas
thanks for the advice and I'm taken your thoughts seriously.
You're welcome Robert. I wish you the best!
It seems most apartment complexes require verifiable income and/or a cosigner to move in. I don't understand how *anyone* can ever move to a new state without these two things; which I don't have.
Even if I offer to pay for a 6-month lease with a 6-month advance payment these places won't accept me without verifiable income or a cosigner. Starting to think it is *impossible* to move.
Kristian Minde
Mostly likely moving mid feb. Selling my car now. Will by a motorcycle or scooter when I get there. Will put up adds for roommates to attack the housing situation with another person. Will most likely seek a temporary room for rent opportunity. I’m willing to do what it takes to just get there and job hunt. Not too hung up on the housing.
Hope you’re doing what makes you happy. You can do it. Make that move!
Very good videos!!
+Bruce Davis Thank you Bruce!
GOOD ADVICE JACOB! THANKS! I AM JUST GONNA SAY VEGAS IS A TOUGH NUT TO CRACK! IFVYOU DO MOVE TO Vegas plan carefully! Very carefully. THIS ADVICECGIVEN RECENTLY TO SOMEONE WANTING TO MOVE TO VEGAS AND I SAYVIT AGAIN! PLAN AND BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR MONEY AND SAFETY AND CHOICES! LOVE YA! ❤️
I am planning to move out of NY. I AM worried, about leaving A job. But, my friend has a house, and I have a e-bike and want to move out of NY. I am eager to change my scene and have a lot of skills. So i am hoping to make a good adjustment.
I originally moved to Vegas in 2012, i had to move back to LA bc my first child was born and I didnt want to worj for Clark County School Dist. at the time. Many sales jobs are available and helped me in between career choices. I will be moving back this Sept. for the start of Uber and I will eventually Teach in Clark County. Im certain they still need about 1000 new full-time teachers. K-6 especially.
Simon Bermudez Clark County is definitely looking for teachers. I believe they are offering bonuses for teachers who are willing to work in struggling schools.
I know this is an old video, I'm trying to find web development work out there before I move. My original plan was to just find a place with around 4k cash but so far places in Texas, Utah, and Colorado have rent that's 1k+ for a one bedroom one bath. I live in Kingman, AZ it's about a couple hours drive but I've found that most jobs only hire locals.
My plan B was to just move, find a place and take what I can until the job I want lines up. Not sure how large the tech sector is in Vegas, but as long as casinos and other businesses need Front End Developers and Graphic Designers I shouldn't have a problem.
Also, is the crime is better or worse than Phoenix?
the one thing about your video first of all I think you're a great guy I've watched quite a few of your videos you didn't mention all the work cards that people have to have to even just work in a fast food place. the weekly rentals they'll cost you $1,200 a month and that's for the ones that aren't all that nice. yes you can get out here and you can grind but overall Vegas is a pretty expensive place. I have lived here since 1969 and I personally am on my way out I will be moving to Missouri in the beginning of June. the city has grown it has become too large and way too much crime. but I wish the best for everyone who does want to come out here and live the Vegas dream for me no longer do I wish to have the Vegas dream.
Hello, I'm trying to move to Vegas in March.... Looking for a bartending job. Do you have any advice... I have a few connects but just looking for more advice. And what you think my best options are..
+Tonic Mariee This is exactly how I did it. th-cam.com/video/qGvGsS_AgXQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!

I want to work and live there. I have about 3000 a month income but I am about 1200-1500 a month short each month to make sure I have bills made and live there to make sure I dont hurt my credit and can live in Vegas. I came in Sept and fell in love with the city not the gambling. I dont even smoke or drink I just love the city and the people and culture. The scenery is beautiful there.
I need about 1200-1500 a month to guarantee I make it what can you recommend Jacob. I can work 30 hours or 40 as long as I know I have that extra 1500 to make it each month. That takes in all bills and living there.
If you're willing to work 40 hours a week, then a job paying about $10/hr will pretty much cover that $1,200-1,500 difference
Hey Jacob... I am looking to move to Las Vegas with 3K and want to do weekly rentals, I have no car. Have IT background, and call center experience, I'm 25 and never lived without my parents. They all think it's stupid to up and leave, but I hate AZ. Should I do it, or be stuck here until 28?? I want to leave as soon as possible. Please, you seem very wise, I need some advice.
It's your choice, and there are no guarantees. I did it, and have no regrets

@TonyBrown Do it Bro.....You can ALWAYS go back to your mom's place if it don't work out! Live Your Life!
I went to your website and it wasn't working right. But I'm moving to Vegas towards the end of February and I was wondering if you know of an Sor or rather single room occupancy place that I can rent. To get started
Very good video Jacob. I very thought about possibly moving to Vegas but I'm an old tart of 60 years old. I have both some sales experience and also have a class B CDL license and have driven 45 ft motorcoaches in the past 7 years. maybe I could swing a gig driving taxi's there or big delivery trucks...make $10.00 - $11.00 bucks and hour....but can a person live on those types of wages at a full time position? Hmmm. Anyway thanks again for the post .
You are a great man i have been watching your videos lately and today i decided to ask you something.. how longer do you thinq i'll be able to survive in vegas without a job and without speaking english? Is there any job that no requires not to speak at all? 😂😂I just came to Usa 3 years ago so my english still sucks badly , I speak spanish i guess i'll fund a lot of mexicans there to talk with.. ( no the gansters 😂😂)
Great videos great advice ! One day when im established in vegas Id love to have you on a podcast !
Thanks man

Hey Jacob. I'm wondering how the construction and landscaping job market is like out there

Hey I'm wanting to move to Las Vegas for work and go to school in la I'm currently a cocktail waitress here in Oregon and I'm saving for a car and paying off my phone and current bills before I make my move i know it sounds crazy but there's money to be made in Vegas and the school I want to go to is pretty expensive
It doesn't sound crazy at all. There is plenty of money to be made here.
Well you might as well call this cali..Rents gone up..Shitty drivers have gone up. Selfishness and problems ppl bring to this city has gone up. Stay away from the casinos live with in your means. Still plenty of cheap fun to do as long as u ignore the strip..Been here 11 yrs..Worked tons of jobs til I finally landed 5 yrs ago a decent transportation delivery job. Your reputation follows you..So if you mess up you are done.. Alot of tattle tales here..Vegas the little big city. Word gets around quick..Good luck.
"Well you might as well call this cali..Rents gone up" What part of California is the cost of renting in Las Vegas similar to?
Me and my buddy are planning on moving out there at end of november... I hope all goes well
Isaiah Slater how did it go
we are coming from washington. do we change our car tags? do we change our driving license? is hard to find an apartment befor we move?
You will have to transfer all of your information over to being a Nevada resident once you live here. There are plenty of places to live, but I really suggest taking some time to come visit to see the area and look at potential places to live before you make the official move here
hi Jacob um ok soo currently im studying in the Philippines ( im originally from California ) and my family and i are planning to move to Las Vegas ( to start a new life ) and my studies are on Culinary related stuff... so should i start on local casinos or the big casinos... or should i start smaller?
+GZBzBlackjack Angelica Either one. You're just starting out. You can always change later if you don't like a place
Ok thanks
I'm in the manufacturing business. How is the availability of machinist/ maintenance jobs?
What about with no car as well??? You think it's possible ?
I really needed to hear this video
Thank god I found your channel!!!! I've been looking into moving to Las Vegas with my boyfriend. We both live at our parents house right now and have good jobs here in Chicago. But we are young and wanna move! How much money do you recommend having when the apartment we are looking for is About $900 a month
stay i chicago
Good luck apartments in Vegas in a decent area start at $1800 that’s for a one bedroom if you want to live in a good area
I did it. moved out here with limited cash and no job..
Yep! It's possible. How long did it take you to find a job?
2 weeks. I took two low paying jobs for a month before I got my current job.
+Tia Nachet what's are the jobs if you don't mind me asking?
Pinnacle and Misura
hey there love your videos!!! i have a question im from so cal & moved to phoenix 2 years ago. i like it out here but now that ive been here 2 years i see how hard it is to make money during the summer months if your job relies on clientele & all my jobs do....like its dead here for 4 months. Im assuming business is slower during summer months in Vegas...but can u still make a living or r u screwed & forced to use your savings for those months???
+Corryn Couture what type of work do you do?
JacobslifeinVegas i do eyelash extensions, makeup, & serve in restaurants
very useful vids thanks for making these vids
+OriginalGamer You're welcome OG
I moved out here 3 years ago. No job or money, but my parents put me up for the first 8 months. My mom got a teaching job out here. I got a job in one month. As a cash tech at the cab company. Love it here.
Nice!
from philly got a chef job at one of the major casinos on the strip.. couldn't find a place within the the week they gave me before my start date. I didn't bring enough money out for cushion even with a high paying job. most of the places I looked up that I could swing had terrible reviews of high crime and violence. you need money to move out to live in a good area vegas neighborhoods are very sketchy
pretty much did your same route and worked security in light/daylight but went back to shitty new york for benefits position
I have no job $750 and a car and I want to move here I think I can do it although I can find a cheap appartment any tips?
I'm currently homeless in california and I have a 5 year old I wanna go out there any tips of where to look for an apt? I xan transfer my job there
The internet is your best resource
Taylor K. Novelli u will make it
Hmu
🙏🏼 Praying for you Taylor 🙏🏼
#1 rule: Get a place as close to work as possible.
I don't if there's any truth to this but I heard that locals aren't allowed to go into the casino's to gamble is that a crock?
+StreetKing4009 Absolutely
Thought so lol people always wanna put in their 2 cents even if they never been there thanks.
Welp, this is about to be my life in 54 days. Can't Wait!
How is it?
The income I talk about to steady and investment and semi retirement from programmer job in past. Still I am serious when I say 1500 or so short to make bills and live there. Again I would work 30 hours a week as long as I was guaranteed that 1500 a month.
Can I get a start with buying a car about 5000 saved and doing Uber
I wanna move out there from Philadelphia. I've been applying for jobs in my felid and no hits.
Hey Jacob, do any jobs out there have a relocation benefit?
+gerald Jones I'm sure there are

Tomikene A rented mailbox may work

Thank you Luis!
Ok thanks
Looking to make a fresh start and get away from Indiana winter's. I work in the security field. Jobs???
And people wonder why there's a proliferation of pawn shops in Vegas?
Hello Jacob I'm a single mother of 2 kids I'm looking to relocate to Las Vegas and I need some good tips can you help..
How is it for a paramedic in vegas bro
+r Moss In what regard?
Job opportunitys
I'm confident that you could find work
Search for jobs in the area. That will give you an idea of what the market is like. Also check the unemployment rate. High unemployment equals a tighter job market.
so I currently live in Atlantic city looking to move to Vegas no later than the end of August I have a good work history and I'm hoping to transfer. i work for Boyd gaming property now it's been a little difficult finding a job and I think it's because I'm far away I have no vacation time to visit so worst case scenario I may have resign and look as soon as I'm out there I know a few people who went there jobless and is doing well I'm hoping to have 4k saved. thanks for the video
Thanks so much I'll look into that I should be there in a couple weeks
i came out here with no job and a little over 2500 ( i recommend you save more than that) fortunately i got a job offer in a week through indeed, had to wait three weeks to start though. Now I'll have my own place next month. I've been here for 2 months now.
I believe its possible to get a job in 2 weeks but be prepared to do a lot of applications and waiting to actually start. I don't recommend coming with 700.
