I spent 90-100 days a year for roughly 25 years in Las Vegas during football season. I apologize for being a specialist who actually wins. I should probably figure out hockey's rules so I could be a Leonardo Da AP.
As for being a professional sport bettor back in the day, I assume Las Vegas was the place to be. And since you spend so much time here anyways just out of curiosity why wouldn't you just have a place here or live here permanently? Even though you're a specialist there has to be other obvious in the face good opportunities available on other sports frequently enough to get value out of being here full-time. I wasn't a professional sports bettor and just by chance I would see good situations. I can only imagine if somebody was focused on that type of thing what they could have found.
Not to echo Mr. Singer but living in LV full-time has its drawbacks. Las Vegas was not exactly the cultural center of the universe in the 80's and '90s.
My wife was employed by the Army as an archaeologist and demographer while she earned a double doctorate from Penn State. Not many "material resource director" positions in Las Vegas.
