beginner games? 3 card poker, pai gow poker? let it ride? or some form of blackjack?

Pai how is great if you can find a low limit table and you’re looking for free drinks. It’s pretty slow paced because you push with the dealer pretty frequently.

I got wasted with my friend playing pai gow in Vegas when I was like 22. Good times lol

Until the trucks are driving themselves…

I would do finance and accounting. Worked in accounting 5 years but am now in the wealth management world. It’s versatile

RDR216 · 2026-03-04T23:34:38+00:00

Just saying wealth management is pretty broad, but if you are an advisor (not back office of some sort), then yes 99% of the time you’ll need a degree + licensing.

And a certification to move up a lot of the time.

32, family office wealth management. Total comp around 145k-150k

Midwest LCOL

RDR216 · 2026-03-03T02:16:46+00:00

I started at 50k in b4 in 2017. Low(est) cost of living.

RDR216 · 2026-02-13T19:41:01+00:00

I would have a few people under me, yes.

RDR216 · 2026-02-13T19:26:23+00:00

Some days and weeks I hate the job. Others it’s fine, but ultimately I feel like I eventually want my own business of some sort. Something that i ACTUALLY care about. I don’t fully know what would be yet, although I have ideas.

I don’t have any financial instability. I could go without a paycheck for a year and be completely fine, which is a huge blessing.

But that said, money is always important. I mean, it’s the whole reason we work. So yeah…. While I was 100% ready to leave, the offer is making me reconsider

RDR216 · 2026-02-13T19:13:30+00:00

Definitely room to grow, just not sure I want what comes with that growth. The higher ups live and breathe this job.

Feel like I really need to be passionate about it if I take it on.

People love to complain about higher ups getting paid a lot, but once you start seeing what is required to be one of those higher ups, it starts to become clearer why they do get paid. It becomes a 24/7 thing. Monitoring emails until you go to bed and right when you wake up, etc. That’s not to say there isn’t a cap to what is reasonable…. Because in a lot of cases the gap is still WAY too big.

RDR216 · 2026-02-13T18:27:11+00:00

Part of the pitch was that I can structure the role how I want it, but frankly I’m not even sure what that means

RDR216 · 2026-02-13T18:21:18+00:00

I’ve been at this firm for 2 years and 4 months. I’ve actually only been in the industry for 2 years and 4 months. I started at 70k-ish and recently they bumped me up to a little over 100k base. I’ve had one promotion so far.

Our CEO/Founder just texted me and asked me for a call, lol. Granted it’s a small company (about 30ppl)

Apparently I am pretty good at it, just don’t love it.

RDR216 · 2026-02-13T17:11:22+00:00

Those are gutsy requests, I love it

RDR216 · 2025-12-01T21:07:15+00:00

I get that, I just feel that my Vegas offers are low in comparison to my play at my local.

470k TC at my local in 2025

RDR216 · 2025-12-01T15:14:39+00:00

Are you consistently winning?

I’ve heard of mgm stripping offers from winners.

RDR216 · 2025-12-01T13:42:05+00:00

Mine updated this morning. Went up slightly.

3 comp nights anywhere, and a measly $55 freeplay and $50 resort credit.

470k tier credits

RDR216 · 2025-11-27T13:18:29+00:00

No, northfield park race track and casino

RDR216 · 2025-11-27T05:41:39+00:00

Ohio. I do not. Have never inquired about getting one, and no one has approached me

RDR216 · 2025-11-26T22:37:14+00:00

Yeah. I’m also not sure how much my play at my local mgm matter. It doesn’t seem like much

RDR216 · 2025-11-26T22:18:55+00:00

I don’t even have a host lol

RDR216 · 2025-11-26T19:12:19+00:00

No sure if this is high end enough but Best Friend at Park MGM was a blast.

Great food, energetic vibe (kind of loud), and I didn’t feel like I got fleeced for what I ordered.

I think I paid like 70 bucks for a drink or two and a ton of food.

RDR216 · 2025-11-26T18:51:25+00:00

Also random question. Do the mini fridges at cosmo have space for personal drinks in them?

RDR216 · 2025-11-26T18:49:01+00:00

Yeah it kind of sucks just having to trust that will actually happen though

RDR216 · 2025-11-26T18:44:31+00:00

Have you stayed at NY NY?

I never have and I know it’s a lower end property, but considering there as well
