This might not work that good but...
You could have a raffle drawing, $1 a ticket, and whatever total you collect you pick a ticket out of a box and they get half of the money, and you get to keep the other half.

Please check with your local and state laws before attempting the above.

There is usually some red tape to get through. Keeping it legal will keep you out of trouble.

How old are you? If you're under-age, it might be difficult to get a job.
I'm guessing you are under legal working age??

If your still in school....I have something thats illegal but will get you lots of money.

Material:

1 best friend
1 roll of raffle tickets
1 table to set up your booth
1 big poster

Procedure:

The idea of this is to sell as much tickets as possible but it gets better. Rig the draw by making shure that your friend will win. You give him all the money and nobody suspects a thing. Then once everyone is gone, get your friend to give you the money and give him/her a small percentage for helping you out.

It is illegal, unless you have a lottery license, and can also get you suspended or even expelled (??) so do this if you will except the consequences (if you get caught). You should roll in that $180 fast.

do the math competition thing.... $400-1000 easy money (first prize) if ure good at math

Beware, some competitions (like the kumon one) makes you split the top prize (in kumon, its $1000), with the other people who tied with you.... in my case i only got $333.33 []

Best of all go rent an air compressor rent an airbrush or buy it off ebay and make money selling RC Car bodys

But definitely try the math competition thingy......... that was how i got enough $$$ to get a plane and the same way i am going to get $$$ for a car.

Yeah, the birthday thing would be your best bet....
But if that doesn't pan out... maybe a paper route? I had a paper route at that age... maybe try that? In my part of the country, mowing lawns can bring in a lot of $$$$, but you're in Vegas? do you have a lot of grass lawns?
Try also car washes? Go to thrift shops and get stuff to sell on ebay (be careful with this though)

Hello Goku,
since there is a drought here and lake mead is losing water, most people dont have lawns anymore and people aren't allowed to do car washes. My mom does the thrift store-ebay thing and it does work. All of the suggestions are good but i have my ideas. Babysitting, Cat sitting ( i got $48 dollars for it), I ll see what extra chores i could do around the house!

for 180 you could get a used truck off ebay....what broke that cost 180 newyas????? and actually when your 14 you can get a workers permit from the state and work anywhere thatll hire you and food city will hire almost all 14 y/o's but youll probably only make minimum wage or maybe a little over which would be like 6 a hour.
