update
Ok so it looks like Ill have to work at a smaller casino for at least a year, harrah and taj and the bigger ones say they want at least 1 year prior experience dealing before you can apply at there casino. Called Harrah to see what kind of documentation a dealer needs to apply and dont need anyone, anyone could apply for the job the only thing the school does is teach you the right way to deal and all the protical in dealing. Yes there is tons of little crappy things I got to get down pat expecially with the sidepots which in Nl can get pretty ridiculas but been playing awhile so think I will be able to get it down. Really looking forward to this I know its almost 2 months to go but still excited. This is gonna sound like im a little boy or imature but really not looking forward to telling my mom about this Sunday its just she has done so much for us and dont want her to think we dont appritiate it by moving now. She is very hard-headed even more then me must run in the family
 well ill post again later in week to let you know how it went with her if you all dont mind me sharing if you do just tell me to shut the hell up you damn baby and get to work

I havn't really read through the whole thread so forgive me if I repost stuff, but I think you should really think if this is what you want to do. If living in Vegas and being a poker dealer is something you really want to do I say go for it.

"Normal drama from my mother..."
Is that normal? Seems like you're giving more consideration to her than to your wife.

hey
I was just trying to be curteous the truth is pretty much layed down the rules for her telling her to stop trying to make problems or we will leave and she will never see me or the kids again. Now I know alot of you are jumping to conclusioins but gotta relieze me and her never have got along she thinks being a good mother is buying her kids not supporting them. Now I know im a big boy and dont need her support but she has never liked any decision I have ever made including marrying my wife. So guess what ill do is finish this school and head up to AC see if I can get a job I have to get a 1-21 licence in AC in order to work in casino there which costs little over $400.00 which is no big deal, but really want to work at Taj there think ill apply there anyway even though it says 1 year expereince maybe I can blow some smoke up there ass's and get a audition never know I might wow them. If worse comes to worse Ill have to work in cali for a year. |

foxwoods
Just called foxwoods and seems like they are traiing dealers right now so might try to secure a job before I even leave for my classes. I think they would go for that since they are spending the money to train people think they would be happy if I was spending money think ill fly up there this weekend wish me luck. If not ill go there when I get back.

i can see why you dont want to uproot your family and such, my dad did the same thing many years back when he was starting a business. he wanted to make sure everything got established, because moving a family to a new city can be a hell of a task to ask of kids and a wife, because it's pretty hectic.

FYI, I've actually played at Cache Creek during a business trip to Davis, CA.
It was about a 45 minute drive from the Davis area and it is in the middle of nowhere. And I do mean nowhere. It's basically a desert with an Indian reservation on it that has a casino. The cost of living in surrounding areas is extremely high. |

I just moved from southeastern CT to MD (although I would have like to have stayed), and although some areas are very expensive, the area overall is very nice. I have lived all over new england, in the Cali desert, in Boise ID, and now in MD. I would recommend you check out foxwoods area. the Norwich area is relatively cheap, although not as nice, it would be a good place to get started. Also, they are supposed ot be re-opening the poker room at Mohegan Sun. And there is a proposal for a huge new casino by Harrahs in RI which is right next door. I am not sure what the status is on that though. If you need any info or advise on that area just let me know.

My parents lived in Sacramento for 7 or 8 years and never had any big problems. Of course, there are good parts of town and bad parts, and if you need to live within walking distance of the poker rooms, you might be out of luck...
(And they lived in one place that I really didn't think was a very good part of town - over near Arco Arena. Mom used to tell me they'd find stolen cars dumped in a lot near their house all the time. I walked the dog around the naybo when I would visit for Christmas, and although some of the houses were shabby and a lot of people had meaner dogs than I'd like... seemed ok.) |
