How to Make Money

2
The secret to making money isn't working at a high-paying job, it’s finding creative solutions to people’s problems, and it doesn't take a fancy degree to do that. To get your creative juices flowing, check out these common and not-so-common ways of lining your pockets. Below that, you’ll also find more general financial advice as well as some money-making ideas for kids. 
MONEY MAKERS: 
Buy underpriced used books. Outfit a phone or PDA (personal data assistant) with a scanner, scan the ISBN numbers of books at used bookstores and thrift shops, and compare the asking prices with what the books are selling for on a site like Amazon. Whenever you get a good hit (which won’t be often but, since the process is fast, won’t take long, either), buy the book and resell it online. Be discreet about this, as the store managers probably won’t like what you’re doing.

Bargain-hunt at yard and thrift sales. If you have a bit of knowledge in a particular area (ex. Taxco Mexican silver, action figures, classic National Geographics) or even just a good eye for quality, visit private sales early and often to find unexpected deals.

3 Go to police auctions. You can find incredible deals here, and though may not be able to resell a car that was involved in a serious crime, you can probably find some spectacularly cheap jewelry that someone else would be happy to buy off you.

Cultures and Places around the world - OUR WORLD (E-MAGAZING 1,2,3)

Now I want to talk about the best place I've ever met.  EVER !!!! 

My favorite place in the world is LAS VEGAS CITY that place is really amazing 
and the city concept too. 

In Las Vegas, Nevada you can see the best architecture in the US and has the 
best shows "Vegas style".

That place is located in Nevada state the US is in the middle of the desert and is 
really hot in days and really cold at nights.

I want to share a short review of the history of this strange place and you will see how great it is this:

¨A desert metropolis built on gambling, vice and other forms of entertainment, in just a century of existence Las Vegas has drawn millions of visitors and trillions of dollars in wealth to southern Nevada. The city was founded by ranchers and railroad workers but quickly found that its greatest asset was not its springs but its casinos. Las Vegas’s embrace of Old West-style freedoms—gambling and prostitution—provided a perfect home for East Coast organized crime. Beginning in the 1940s, money from drugs and racketeering built casinos and was laundered within them. Visitors came to partake in what the casinos offered: low-cost luxury and the thrill of fantasies fulfilled" 

In Las Vegas the casinos are very famous and the game is so exiting. 
Is interesting because it is disreputable or "bad thing"  the casinos and lifestyle, but it is actually very attractive place and has many tourist everywhere. 


The Top Casinos In Las Vegas: 
1. The Bellagio 
2. Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino 
3. The MGM Grand 
4. Cesars Palace 
5. The Luxor Hotel & Casino 

Vegas is not only casinos and party, Vegas has amazing trips and tours and shows for example: Cirque du soleil, The Blue man Show, and Absinthe show in the Cesar's palace, This place is vey attractive for famous people (singers, actors, dancer, politicians etc) 

In Vegas you can try the most amazing good that you never had, the food there are different, exotic, delicious preparations, gourmets saladas bar, authentic Brazilian, Spanish, French, Italian, Mongolian, Chinese, Indian and everything international food you want to try.

The gastronomic cuisine here is a complete art and hae the best chefs in the world. 

And now Im going to talk about "Health in Vegas" That's maybe a difficult topic because in general the grand part of the people are thinking that VEGAS is only the important and famous street "THE VEGAS STRIP" La Vegas is more than that. 
Las Vegas is a huge state in Nevada state, with a population of 603,488 at the 2013 United States Census estimates.  
Las vegas citizens are Americans normal people as any others, they have diets, nutritionists, they go to the gym and go to restaurant as other normal people, specially in the Down town you can see famous gyms, yoga, dance academies and cross fit centers. 
And as in any other city there are not as healthy people and the food is not the best. 

That picture show you the Maywearther Boxing Club, this place is very famous in Las Vegas. 

This past topic leads me to talk about Sports
Las Vegas is not known for having a specific sport, although the metropolitan population is so big. 
The only team sports is the "Minor League" playing in the city.

Minor League (Las Vegas 51s of the Pacific Coast League) 

The people claims to have several obstacles that would have to fight to the city if to become a professional sports market, including the presence or legal sports betting. 

You need to go and experience yourself all I'm saying here. 

Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps.
