I plan to spend the entire month of October away from my cozy apartment in AR, but I have nowhere to go. I want to go to either L.A. or Vegas (or travel between the two) but I can't make up my mind. I like both areas, but I want to make sure I lay my head in the right place. Which area is best for a girl like me in order to book a good amount of work, live comfortably, and be worthwhile?

I have a lot to do before I jump on that plane though, which includes renting a room (or trading for one) for 4 weeks. Is it even worth it?

Add San Francisco to your list..

Put out castings in both areas, and also reach out individually to photographers in both cities with whom you'd like to work. Survey your responses and see if you can get paid work in each area. If I was in your shoes, money would help me determine if it's worth it.

Money is the determining factor. I'm actually going to both Vegas and L.A. in 2 weeks for 5 days each and so far I have more bookings in Vegas than LA. I'll put out another casting for the 30 days and see what happens

It looks like Vegas is the place.

Yeah I sort of like Vegas more than L.A. based on bookings, but I like the way LA "looks" if that makes sense...
