Las Vegas traders

I plan on moving to Las Vegas in a couple of months and trading with a pro firm at home.Can anyone recommend if i should use cable or dsl and which company.How is the service out there for companies that offer cable or dsl?

Posted by cas on 09-05-02 04:02 PM:

Welcome to Vegas! Cox Cable has in most parts of town been very reliable. they have a 1.5down 256kup standard package for $40ish/month for 1 IP address. I have a commercial package from Cox that allows up 8 IP's for around $100/month. I have noticed with Cox that some areas of town are more reliable than others.....probably because there is so much construction in some parts of town. DSL is in some parts of town..but I have limited expirence with it.

Thanks for your reply.Do you need to have cable tv to get a cable modem or can i just have a cable modem without cable tv?

Posted by andrasnm on 09-05-02 04:43 PM:

I don't know about COX but with AT&T

yes. I have cable modem (broadband) and no cable service.


Kill your TV!!!

I believe you have to at least have the basic local cable tv package with Cox, around $10 mo, with the modem internet connection. Total around $50- if I remember.

I'm not sure if you need to have cable TV or not. ...they used to charge $10 extra for it..but not sure what they do now..(I've had it for 5yrs now)

cas

Posted by Don Bright on 09-05-02 08:03 PM:

Cox cable package around $79, modem included. DSL in the home is only $40 for residential in my area. I have both, just in case for backup, which is a good idea for remote trading.

I know this is off topic,but for any of you guys living in Vegas now,how is the allergy season there? Is it really bad as someone in another thread mentioned,or is it the same as most of the country?

Posted by Don Bright on 09-06-02 03:30 PM:

It can be a bit rough, but not nearly as bad as Northern California when I lived there. It's dry here (obviously), and so it's not too bad.

How hard is it to get a mortgage if your occupation is a home based daytrader?What kind of proof of income would the bank want?

Not that hard;
I think it really depends on what interest rate you are looking for.

I got a 7.25% last year, not that good,
but didn't have to supply any income information either --
just assests. I went through a mortgage broker, not a bank.

Las Vegas vs. Florida

I have a few queries regarding specific neighborhoods and other general LV-related topics which would best be dealt with in a couple of PM's. I therefore invite any Las Vegas-based trader, who is prepared to assist me by answering a few questions, to PM me.

Posted by andrasnm on 11-09-02 04:12 PM:

One thing you should consider very seriously is the Casinos

If you are action loving trader, LV has not much culture or anything else for that matter, it is all geared towards getting you into a casino and 'liberating' you from your cash. I used to play poker there and while I did good I loved the town (still do) but I would NEVER live there unless I have a serious business that I must be there for. with Trading you can be in the Cayman or in the Bahamas or any number of more desirable location.

p.s. I rather live in florida than LV.

pps too many 'normal' people I know moved there and lose everything in a bad patch.

Seen it too. Anybody with a gambling addiction would never make it as a trader anyway. I know people who lose thousands on a weekly basis on those stupid slots. Go to work during the day then blow it all every night in the casinos. Boggles my mind since they're the most boring, inane devices ever created. Flash a few colors for 5 seconds then take your money. Wow, exciting!

(then again, that doesn't sound much different than Realtick )




P.S. Lemme guess, Mr Sub is trying to find the best strip clubs.

Trading in Vegas

Hi, NT.

I've had a decent enough experience with Cox Cable's regular service for the past 4 years. It's not the greatest, but it's never been so bad that i went to the trouble of hooking up DSL either.

By the way, I have satellite tv.... so no need for cable tv hook up.

NV gross profits tax

Does anyone have a read on how this will play out?

The way it's looking now, it's going to be a disaster for traders.
The proposal is structured to include all proceeds of business sales. If you are filing a 4797, your proceeds are the billions in stock sales you made.

www.lasvegas.com has zillions of rentals and real estate people.

SouthEast or West side...not north side of town.....

Also: (Prophet) New tax is possibly a nightmare....I got your email and passed it on to Bob....we've been aware of the implications....just hoping for an "accounting fix" (via exclusions or definitions).....Or at least "grandfather in" firms that have been here 10 years or more and make all the "new guys" pay big time!! :-)

Don


There are some more details on the states website. Has the new tax been enacted ? I thought that this was still under discussion and was not yet approved. IMHO if this does go through it is a dumb move by the legislature: There are some advantages to being physically located in Nevada but they are not that great: add more tax to the equation and the case for doing business in Nevada gets very weak ....

Posted by cas on 01-21-03 04:42 PM:

it sounds like Guinn is asking the gross one to be pushed back..but i'm looking for more info in general. This is the overall tax proposal from the State of the State speech last night:

http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_h...s/20517798.html

and yes, NV does not need to become like CA.....that place is a big mess...no need to take any incentive away from people here.

Looks like July 2004 will be the earliest implementation of this tax.

Posted by PuffyGums on 01-31-03 08:15 AM:

About the gross receipts tax- Is there a reason why Nevada is requesting that businesses relocate to other states?

Some states (like TN) have another brilliant business killing tax which is a 1% direct tax on capital- yes it includes computers, office chairs etc... I'm not sure if its a state or county tax, but I know someone in Memphis who had a simple word processing business (a long time ago) and was greatly plagued by that insane tax.

Business property taxes here in Los Angeles are another anti-business provision....

In my office location particularly the city taxes are very negative with respect to encouraging buisnesses to locate within the city.

Clark county sales tax is 7.25%. I have no clue how the car registration is calculated and even after asking the DMV workers point blank they couldn't tell me. The best rule of thumb estimate I can give is it seems to be approx $150 per $10K of your car's value per year which would put the annual cost of my AMC Gremlin at about $.01-.02.

looks like 1.5% of value mr. dinky... i think california's is going up to 2% of value from like .6%. there was mention of a large new tax that might impact someone trading in and out of stocks. has that been addressed?

Vehicle Registration Fees Back To Top


The basic registration fee for vehicles under 6,000 pounds is $33. There is a graduated scale for higher weights. Trailers up to 1,000 pounds are $12; 1,000 or above are $24. Nevada charges $20 for vehicle titles and small fees for items such as license plates.

Nevada also charges taxes based on the value of the vehicle:

Governmental Services Tax--helps fund local government and schools
(approx. 1.4% of the depreciated Manufacturers Retail Price)
Supplemental Governmental Services Tax--helps fund road improvements
(25% of Governmental Services Tax--Clark, Washoe and Churchill counties only)
Sales Taxes on Purchases
(7.25% on dealer purchases; slightly less in some rural counties, 5.25% or less on private party purchases)
Use our Online Registration Fee Estimates. (Vehicle Identification Number or MSRP is required.)

I was thinking of taking a vacation to Vegas sometime soon but it would be great if I could combine it with some daytrading business in order to get a tax break. Anyone know of anything that's daytrading related that I could go to in Vegas such as a course or seminar?

Posted by MACD on 02-03-03 04:12 AM:

Writing off Your Trip to Las Vegas

You may wish to visit some of the daytrading offices here to check out there facilities, services, and suitability to your trading style and needs. By collecting the information and keeping good records of your trip in a file with brochures, etc. your trip may be tax deductible.

Yes, there are seminars here -- all kinds and all prices. If you need more info you are welcome to PM me.

You, will no doubt also hear from Don Bright who will acquaint you with the Bright Trading seminar which is given once or twice a month. I took it -- costs $1,000. If you need an opinion of that seminar PM me and I will respond. (Think it is off topic to include my comments on this thread.)

BTW, most of the comments about Las Vegas as a place to live and trade are incorrectly stated above. Housing is very available both rental and purchase. Very Cheap by most standards. Locals never go to the casinos to gamble unless that is their reason for being in Las Vegas, which is, of course, absurd. The town offers inexpensive living and costs for restaurants etc and are very reasonable. No allergies experienced by me or my family.

Car registration and sales taxes are about the same as most desirable places to live. Other costs like cable or DSL are about the same as well. Cox is very reliable and I have been trading using the mbps service since they came out with it and have never lost money as a result of there service.

There are many tax advantages to trading from here if you are astute at setting yourself up properly. I doubt that the State will commit the suicidal act of not making Las Vegas and Nevada one of the prime states to do business in. Don't really need additional revenue as so much is available from the casinos and tourists. There is talk of raising those taxes to compensate for any shortfalls but the locals would be very up in arms should taxation get anything like California. However, Florida also is tax friendly.


Good Luck

Depends on what your priorities are. Don's right in saying the West (Summerlin) and Southeast (Green Valley/Henderson) areas of town are the nicest areas to live. As a rule of thumb, the closer you are to the strip the worse the crime but there are exceptions. An address outside of the Las Vegas city limits can save on insurance too. No matter where you live, it's not difficult to get to the strip.

http://www.reviewjournal.com/relocation/

DSL depends on how far away you are from a Central Office. Broadbandreports.com can help determine availability once you have an address. Cable is almost everywhere but they started capping data transfer on residential service so plan on getting a commercial line if you trade out of your house.

don't worry, there are that many apartment buildings going up everywhere it's not funny... just pick up an apartment guide from some place (they're everywhere..)...

just in case you need to be told one more time, the west and south east is where you wanna be looking.

summerlin (west) will get you to the strip a little quicker, but overall, traffic isn't a huge hassle wherever you are..

no you should not drive by yourself. you should invite vinny and his alter egos... they could drive the whole way while you sleep, but you'd need a station wagon to fit them all in... and a roof-rack for a moderator so he could critique "their" driving!

It has generally been pretty reliable.....but I think it depends on which part of town you live in. The new construction areas seem to have more problems than the older/well established areas do. I live in Silverado Ranch area, and it went off for about 2 mins today, but came right back.

Posted by DaveN on 04-28-04 12:49 PM:

Hi Dustin,

I don't live in LV, but I've spent a good deal of time there. and yes, time away from casinos.

If you've been in the newer areas of Orange County, CA or greater Phoenix, AZ then you've seen those parts of LV. The development is just about exactly the same. The housing style, storefront setups, medians, and landscaping all share a common look and feel. I suspect it's very similar to the designs in the new areas of San Diego as well.

Quite frankly, whenever I was in Green Valley, with the exception of the views of the McDowell mountains and Camelback, I felt like I was right back in North Scottsdale. Maybe it's a misguided view, but I felt like Summerlin had fewer trees in most parts than did Green Valley and Henderson. I did like Summerlin because of it's proximity to Red Rocks and the surrounding mountain areas; great for mountain biking and running trails.

Can someone go into further detail where in the West and South sides of Vegas are nice? What about the SW below Summerlin for example? There are a lot of new homes being built there but what is the area like?

Thanks in advance!

The home prices around here have gone straight up over the last 6 months. My niece just moved into a home that was built in a nice small tract south of town....before she got moved into the place, it went from $220K - $400K ....unbelievable.

Still good deals compared to CA and NY, etc., but catching up with the market. Resale homes sell the same day they're listed.

What's your price range...?

OK thanks guys. Don our price range is $275k-375k, and from what I've found online it looks like we will be in the top part of that range for what we want. It's just really hard to look at real estate online when you have no idea what the areas are like.
