First off, it's a bad idea, so don't do it.. . The problem with Vegas is that you are reminded every day about how poor and unimportant you are. Must of the cool stuff to do in Vegas, is unaffordable to you. You will have to probably work in some crappy job working crappy hours and your standard of living will be utterly mediocre. When you get some time off you will find that some of the best reasons for being in Vegas are things you cannot afford.. . Vegas is also full of people like you. People who ran there thinking it would be cool, only to become disillusioned and leave six months later. In fact, a friend of mine just did exactly what you are suggesting. Right now he is on a Greyhound Bus traveling back to Tennessee, wondering how he came up so short.. . The town is always seething with tourists. The summer heat is brutal, often over 110. Every job you apply for there are dozens of other candidates just as desperate as you for the job.. . If any of your friends like to gamble there is always the temptation to blow their money in a casino, at which point the other friends will have to come up with extra just to pay the rent and bills.. . But if you REALLY want to do it. If you really want to live like that, do some searches online, rent an apartment, and get on the bus. Consider driving if one of you has a good car. It will probably take you 2-3 days from PA. Just check on Yahoo! Maps for directions.. . As someone else said, if at the age of 23 you cannot figure out how to get to Las Vegas from PA, then you are not mature or smart enough to take this leap. Someone like you will be eaten alive out there.
