Good luck to you
I left Vegas 3 years ago. I moved there from San Diego. ( I hated California even more). I found Vegas very heartless. No soul. The town has nothing real. It's an illusion. The music is now canned for the most part in many of the major shows. The lounges are full of either Karaoke, Huge DJ clubs or lounge bands. Not too many single performers. When you see them they are playing a piano and doing light jazz vocals. Karaoke is the king of the small lounges and clubs there. It's cheap and gives people a chance to say they "performed in Vegas" I guess. LOL.
I spent 15 years there because I was based out of there and worked there in a production show which had others around the country and places abroad.
When the housing bubble hit I was more than happy to take the money and run.......
