American Experience: Las Vegas - An Unconventional History (47 of 75)
I got a job at O'Shea's, which is a break-in house for new dealers coming straight out of school.
My shift is 8:00 at night till 4:00 in the morning.
I don't mind, because I'm making money.
I mean, it's not even really considered a job.
I mean, it is, but I don't break a sweat, I don't do anything.
Sit there and make sure everyone's playing all right, keep track of the money that's right there, and that's pretty much it.
Vegas is unique.
It 's different than every other city.
It 's like its own little country.
Laws here are so slack.
It 's not like anywhere else in the United States.
You come out here, you could be a totally different person.
You don't have to be who you were back home.
It 's a transit town, so you meet someone, you see them for two days, if that, and they're gone.
You don't ever see them again.
That's why I kind of like it.
I'm trying to move back home sometime, next couple years, start a business.
I don't want to be out in Vegas all my life.
I mean, I like the town, but you can easily get trapped inside Vegas, do all the things that you're not supposed to do.
You stay focused and then leave.
Just taking Vegas like Vegas takes everyone else. |
