I'm getting out of town. I officially resigned from my job today, and I'm heading back to Illinois to sell long-term care insurance. I enjoyed my time here for the most part, and learned a lot about myself. I played enough poker to grow tired of it, I worked in a casino and found out that the lifestyle wasn't for me. I tried selling timeshares, but feel that I could sell a needs-based intangible product better. I turned down the long-term care job before heading out here, because I felt I had to try Vegas. It had been a curiousity for me for a long time, and I had to find out. But when it came down to it, my heart always longed to be back in Illinois, attending Illini and Bradley games, and being around my friends and family. In some ways, it feels like a failure to be leaving, but in other ways, I feel like I accomplished a lot just to take a risk and come out here by myself. I appreciate the support of everyone on this board, and in particular the locals who befriended me and made my time here better. I have no regrets, but this decision right now is an obvious one, in my mind. I'll be back for the bash, and look forward to coming back to Vegas as a guest.
Good luck on your travels back.
It took me over 17 years to get out of Vegas after moving there from the midwest like yourself(Iowa).
Personally, happy to see you get out of the valley this quickly.
I am convinced you made the right move.........and you will know so down the road in the NEAR future.

Illini:
You are one very thoughtful young man. It took a lot of courage and character to take such a chance. Your time spent in Las Vegas has helped you continue to grow. Continue to listen to your inner self and you will always be on the path which is best of you. Wishing you all the best as you head back home. I have no doubt you will be successful in whatever you choose to do in life. All my best to you.

Illini you're a baller shut up man, you didn't fail at all. And i quote:
"We're here Mikey. We made it."

Only those who fail to try can truly be called failures. Your decision to move back didn't mean you failed at living in Vegas. It simply meant that you prefer to live back home.
From your first post I could tell Vegas wasn't for you. I've had several friends move from the midwest to the southwest only to decide it wasn't for them. No failure on their part, just a preference for what they used to have.
Good luck back in Illinois. Keep remembering what you have there when you get back and remember that feeling.

Haven't followed your posts Illini..But I have no doubt that you have done the right thing....We all should follow our hearts and minds in this road of life. Somebody once said....it's not the destination that makes us happy...it's the journey. The older I get the more truth that has.
Happy Trails..
