Hotel Jobs In Las Vegas

Hotel jobs in Las Vegas will increase as a result of the developing mega resort boom, creating 100,000 plus jobs. Vegas should resume its boom town proportions with mega resorts like "Echelon", "CityCenter", "Encore", Fontainebleau, and Project 3355 all opening before 2010. Nevada State Employment Agency projects job growth moving back toward 6% like it was at its height in 2005. An estimated completion of 40,000 new hotel rooms will add a full 10% to our job base of 965,000 jobs in our valley.

There are over 70 casinos with job openings for system analysts, accountants, game programmers, project managers, engineers, production artists, housekeeping, field service technicians, financial planners, managers, beverage directors and every kind of hotel staffing from maid to GM (general manager).

Vegas holds job fairs regularly. They are usually held in casinos, like Sahara or "Suncoast", even the Venetian. The idea is kind of like speed dating. Potential employees and employers meet and form a quick impression of each other. It's useful to have 2 skills for these job fairs. You should be very good at making a lasting, unique impression in 30 seconds, which is called pitching yourself. You must also have an attention-getting resume that showcases your skills and experience when seeking hotel jobs in Las Vegas at job fair.

Las Vegas is in a continual state of construction as the town grows and more hotel jobs are created at the Venetian and Palazzo pictured here under construction.
