Living near huge casinos is often a good idea for unskilled people. There are usually minimum wage janitorial or housekeeping jobs, and they have high turnover. (Although for housekeeping you’d need to speak Spanish.) Still, one can clean bathrooms or walk around with a broom and sweep. And, those with smarts and ambition can move into higher paying jobs: servers, bartenders, maybe even go to dealing school. Our boy, of course, couldn’t do those but he could scrub toilets as usual or maybe bus tables.
Those are Pre-Covid thoughts. I used to go to Vegas fairly often but I imagine that it’s been decimated and it would be difficult to find work these days.
I am very curious about that $830.00 figure. That seems a little exact. He can “easily” afford $830.00 a month in rent? How does he know that without first having a job? Is it possicle that he gets disability? I’ve long suspected that he has some income aside from jobs and parents as being out of work never seems to bother him, and the 830 number seems very convenient to me.
I’ve only visited the strip as a tourist, I have no idea what the rents are like or even where downtown is but it would not surprise me to hear that Russ confused downtown with the strip. He’s probably imagining himself in some apartment across the street from the Aria or something.
Moving during Covid seems like a bad idea to me so that means Russ is packed and ready. He probably thinks the pandemic is over, he’ll get a job day 1, and find a cocktail waitress roommate to bring him a Sex on the Beach. Virgin, of course.
