Casino Careers - Keys To Getting Las Vegas Casino Jobs

If the lights, the excitement, and the lounge acts excite you, a Las Vegas casino career might be just the thing for you. Employment in Las Vegas is plentiful with casinos on every block, tourists and locals filling the seats with hopes to win a buck or at least break even. The Internet is a good place to start if you have experience working in a casino or have had casino training. If you have no experience, a casino training school is an option and it will certainly stand out on your resume. You will most likely start out on the bottom with unrelated jobs or cleaning, but the opportunities for advancement are many.

CASINO TRAINING SCHOOL

If you are seriously considering a career in the casino industry, a casino training school may be worth looking into. With the casino gaming industry on the rise, training is a great way to get the upper hand against your competition. Upon receiving training, you can work for the big name casinos and even on cruise ships.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

It takes an enormous staff to run a casino and there is certainly more to it than the glamorous visions you see on television. Aside from the bartenders and dealers that are portrayed, it is actually the staff behind the scenes that keep things running smoothly.

Just to list a few of the jobs on the main floor - Dealers, Slot waitresses, Table waitresses, Bartenders, Doormen, Porters, Cashiers, Writers, Slot machine personnel, Security guards, Booth personnel, Receptionists.

Behind the scenes there are more employment opportunities - Table money counters, Slot machine counters, Clerical staff, Auditors, Bouncers, Surveillance personnel, Cleaners and rubbish removal personnel, Marketers and advertisers, Information officers, Booking personnel, Hosts, Managers, Personnel management, Lawyers, Dock loaders, Chefs and kitchen staff, Dieticians, Camera ladies, Entertainers, Maintenance staff, Bouncers, Stock Buyers, Accountants.

Once you get into a casino and prove yourself, you can quickly climb the ladder to more appealing positions. With new casino construction on the rise and everyone flocking to the newer establishments, there are frequent openings to advance your career. Casinos usually hire more staff than they need and weed out the slackers.

SALARIES

Floor supervisors and managers are at the top of the totem pole in earnings followed by poker, craps, and baccarat dealers. Their take is from $40 to $270 a day depending on the location. Dealers live mainly off tips and tend to have very low salaries. The pit and slot waiters are next in line earning the most in tips. Security personnel can earn $70 to $120 a day depending on location. Some casinos offer free medical. Many of the positions within casinos are represented by unions.

WORK PERMITS

Upon being hired to work at a casino, Human Resources will assist you in obtaining a Sheriff's card or a "work permit." If you are serving alcohol, you will also need a card to handle or sell liquor. This also applies if you handle food.

Whether you seek a job on the floor or behind the scenes, there are many exciting opportunities with a career in the casino gaming industry. Many positions require some experience or training, but there are a few unrelated positions that can get your foot in the door. From there, you can advance through on-the-job training, depending on your desired position. If you never want a dull moment, this may be just the path to follow.

how do you know what comps you have earned at a vegas casino?

i played blackjack at the orleans for hours at about $15 avg hand, but forgot to redeem the comps befoe i left vegas. how do i know what i've earned? i remember trying to ask the booth before, but they sai they keep track of slot play only on the cards and the pitbosses keep track of your play. i plan to make another trip next month, will my points accumulated on the card still be good? will the pitboss be able to still tell how i played?

It takes a few days for table game points to show up.

The Orleans slot club "Club Coast" points do not "zero out" unless you have 13 months of inactivity on your account.

Orleans does have one of the best slot clubs for cash back - .3%

The Orleans is really good about room offers for players. Since you're going back so soon what I would do is call and ask to speak with a Host.

A $15 avg bj bet for 4 hours per day should at least get you free rooms, Sunday through Thursday, unless it's some type of special event, then you should at least get the casino rate.

Info on LV slot clubs

We go to LV 2-3 times a year for 2 weeks or more at a time and have for over 20 years. We spend a week or two at the Orleans every year.

You're obviously interested in playing the comp game. These are a couple of very good books on the subject.
