[PC] I got a job offer in Las Vegas. Should I take it?

I currently live in the Southeast and work for the Air Force. It's alright but it's time for a change. I just sent out some applications and got a job offer with the Air Force in Las Vegas.

I have been to Las Vegas several times so I'm somewhat familiar with the area. Never have lived in a desert before. The Strip's alright, but I since I'd be working and living in the northern part of the city I'd miss most of the tourists. Which is what I would prefer.

I'm two years out of college so I'm not making tons of money just yet. This job is $14.00 per hour for the starting wage. I have a degree directly related to the job so I'll be able to move up and make more money. Even though I'd be taking a pay cut to move to Vegas. But I'm young and don't know when else I'd ever have the chance to live in Vegas!

I realize insurance and utilities are really high in Nevada. Do you think it would be a good move for me and that I'd be able to afford it? I was a college athlete with full scholarship so I don't have any student loans. And I'll pay off my 2010 car next month.

Thanks for your advice!
