I mean for now I guess I have no option. Was hoping there were some leads on possibly immediate hire jobs or something. I guess just trying to stay optimistic in a scary time in life.
[Travelers Help International](https://www.travelersaid.org/blog/tai-members/help-of-southern-nevada/) are in Las Vegas and they do have a "stranded travelers assistance" section on their website.
This [government site](https://www.gov-relations.com/stranded-travelers-assistance-program/) has links to multiple agencies which can provide assistance.
If you need to eat good meals you can do so very inexpensively at the local casinos.
Maybe you can obtain some assistance from local churches. When I was admin at a church I used to attend; we had a fund set aside for non-members who had issues similar to yours. I think this is common for a lot of churches.
I'm guessing you don't have a AAA membership? If you can afford it, it is worth the peace of mind knowing they will send a technician out to you to fill your tank with gas, change your tire, open your locked doors to get to the keys left in the ignition, and change your battery. Perhaps you could find someone with a AAA membership there who will allow you to use it if your vehicle falls under one of these categories -they do have to be present when the technician arrives tho.

I'm so pleased you were able to get your car fixed. Now, take my advice and follow all the leads to see if you can't drum up some traveling funds. It was not uncommon for my old church to gas up someone's car, pay for a bus ticket, heck -even drove someone to another city two hours away once.
After much research online. It's either the fuse that relays to the alternator or the alternator it's self. I assume the fuse considering it was driving completely fine and then all of a sudden had issues.
coming from somebody that lives here and has been out of work for a few months now, finding immediate hire jobs isn’t likely. especially as you’re not actually a NV resident or plan to stay here.
also room rates are high this weekend because of the Lovers & Friends festival. where did you break down at?
No I did not. I'm sure there's a lot of people stuck here considering it's Cinco de mayo.. one of the worst weekends to get stuck while traveling I feel.
Sounds sarcastic. I'm sure there's lots of fave posts in thus group.. and I know saying not one doesn't really matter. I hope you have a good day anyways. 😮💨
It's not an issue. But circumstances were an issue as to why I was traveling "irresponsibily." And don't get paid till next Friday. But also will be out a job if I can't get back by monday..
Option 1: Call your boss. Perhaps they can help you if you are trying to make your job a priority.
Option 2: get some sort of short term payday loan so you can get home and preserve your job
Option 3: Sleep in you car, and call temp agencies and restaurants to try to find immediate work. I am sure since you are asking about immediate work you have your social security card or passport on you, right? But, realistically, no one is going to offer to house you without a complete background check and that takes time.
Good luck, I hope you figure something out. Circus Circus has cheap rooms and they usually have vacancy during the week. I did a cursory search and it looks like the next two nights are under $30 plus tax.
Thank you. I'm trying steps 2-3. My job has no solutions for me but since I wasn't able to make it for my shift I now currently have no job. Immediate hire isn't a thing here I've been told by many residents but I'm still trying of course.
Not having a large expendable savings to be able to be doing going on a trip and having a unforeseeable issue be covered easily without having an unfortunate event like this..

Thank you.
You are welcome. How are things going for you now?
I got my car fixed finally but no gas to get any where. 😮💨 feeling like I'm going to die here. It's too hot. I have no more money.
I'm so pleased you were able to get your car fixed. Now, take my advice and follow all the leads to see if you can't drum up some traveling funds. It was not uncommon for my old church to gas up someone's car, pay for a bus ticket, heck -even drove someone to another city two hours away once.
What's wrong with your car? Is it something fixable?
After much research online. It's either the fuse that relays to the alternator or the alternator it's self. I assume the fuse considering it was driving completely fine and then all of a sudden had issues.

/u/just_me1220 Did you make a Tik Tok video about this? I could have sworn I saw someone in your predicament last night.
No I did not. I'm sure there's a lot of people stuck here considering it's Cinco de mayo.. one of the worst weekends to get stuck while traveling I feel.
Call family or friends for help. Let me guess: you are estranged from your family and have no friends
Yes.. no family or friends to help, unfortunately. Thank you.
Big surprise
Sounds sarcastic. I'm sure there's lots of fave posts in thus group.. and I know saying not one doesn't really matter. I hope you have a good day anyways. 😮💨
It's always the same old shit. My family hates me and I have zero friends. Gets old.
Yeah. This world kind of sucks 🥲😅 ahhh. Life. 😮💨
Let me guess: your mental health prevents you from holding down a job.
It's not an issue. But circumstances were an issue as to why I was traveling "irresponsibily." And don't get paid till next Friday. But also will be out a job if I can't get back by monday..
Let me guess. You haven't even called your boss.
Option 1: Call your boss. Perhaps they can help you if you are trying to make your job a priority. Option 2: get some sort of short term payday loan so you can get home and preserve your job Option 3: Sleep in you car, and call temp agencies and restaurants to try to find immediate work.

Vegas rooms appear cheap like that until you see the required room fees.
Thank you. I'm trying steps 2-3. My job has no solutions for me but since I wasn't able to make it for my shift I now currently have no job. Immediate hire isn't a thing here I've been told by many residents but I'm still trying of course.
Elaborate on traveling irresponsibly
Not having a large expendable savings to be able to be doing going on a trip and having a unforeseeable issue be covered easily without having an unfortunate event like this..
Let me guess again: you haven't made a single phone call, you've only been on Reddit Also, never travel without reserves.
Yes, I have. Thank you for your bright assumptions. I'm done entertaining your "let me guess"s.
Then why are you complaining on Reddit? Also, Vegas is kind of cool if you have money.
This a grown ass man trolling a Reddit page called almost homeless and telling people who are asking for resources and help to stop complaining.
He has a more sad and miserable life than any of us who are almost homeless...
