The MD80 is a fun airplane to fly. There is plenty of FO flying available in Vegas. I talk to FO's that routinely credit over 100 hours each month.
As said above, I would stay away from the 757 unless you live in Vegas and don't mind being displaced sooner than later. Unless I'm mistaken, we're now a bump and flush displacement, so as a junior FO you could end up a long way from home.
