Why did I leave Las Vegas? 3 reasons...
1. Lonely-Yes I did have a few friends there, but with my work schedule, lost touch with some of them and ended up doing things alone quite a bit. And my family had pretty much moved east from me except for my little brother.
2. Bad job-I worked security on the LV Strip for 2 1/2 years, you can see a couple old pics here from then. I was passed up several times for promotion despite working my ass off and never got a raise. After getting punched a few times trying to protect my partners during New Year's Eve and being left for dead by half the other staff, I figured it was time to move on.
3. Robbed-Between my mother stealing money from me on New Year's Day '02 to buy crystal meth instead of paying the rent, a former friend stealing from me and a roommate, and then being robbed at gunpoint one morning after having breakfast and playing at a casino, that was scary as shit!
