Thanks for all the replies. I will look into it. No, I do not have 'enhancements', nor would I ever get them. I am actually rather small chested, I don't know how well I would fit into some of those corset tops! A big chest is required if I want to work somewhere nice... Could someone please define nice; which casinos are you taking about? Anyone know anything about the Rampart? It's on rampart between summerlin parkway and alta behind the suncoast. There seems to be a lot of retirees there, I'm not sure how I feel about being oogled by old guys all day, or anyone for that matter. I usually don't try to direct attention to myself. Anyway... any more info or advice, more than welcome... Anyone work as a cocktail waitress?

i have a friend/coworker who does (NYNY)...she is not a giant fan of it, but the $ is decent and she can work nontraditional hours, so it fits into here relatively busy schedule. i could ask her more specific q's if you have them.

Well, if you're not interested in getting oogled, you're likely looking at the wrong type of work. Sad to say, but it's reality in Vegas.....

Bob, although I don't like being oogled, I may be able to deal with it. Sometimes, it depends on who's doing the ooglin', if you know what I mean... I am never a fan of groping, I will be quite offended if someone does this.

That is part of the reason I like the Rampart, their 'outfits' are more modest. I don't think I would want to work at the Suncoast, their get-ups are more out there. I hear cocktail waitress' can make big $$. I could save up, and pay for college and other things. Partly, why I want to do it. For the experience too, I would like to try it while I live in Vegas, just to see what it is all about.

Just wondering what's worse (from the female perspective, please)...always being oogled or NEVER being oogled?

[Bennysmom]

Well, Some places are nicer than others. But, remember, no matter the outfit, as long as you have the looks, you will be oogled from all ages. That is a fact of life in the profession of a cocktail waitress. You wear your high heels, short skimpy skirts, showing your legs, and weather you are large chested or small chested, you will most likely be showing cleavage. Again, fact of life as a cocktail waitress. To earn the big tips, you will be getting oogled by all types, and normally to a certain point, must be accepted by you, otherwise it is the wrong profession.
In the higher end places, you may get some classier people, but there will always be that one that just gives you the creeps, no matter where you work.
Yes, that is why we have security guards, but you must be able to handle yourself in a professional manner.

"Just wondering what's worse (from the female perspective, please)...always being oogled or NEVER being oogled?"

jfkIII, I will answer that, Always being oogled.

I realize that the more beautiful the waitress the more money she may receive in tips from the male clientele, but don’t just as many women gamble as men? And why would the Casino care about tips anyway….there’s no money in that for them.

Do the Casinos feel that having sexy waitresses leads to more drinking, which in turn leads to more money being spent on the slot machines and at the tables? Or is it, as I said earlier, just an image thing?

I’ve seen older less attractive waitresses in some of the local casinos, but even they dress provocatively. Why is that necessary? I’m not complaining, I’m just wondering.

Its not just now. I lived there 15 yrs ago for 11 yrs and it was the same then.

Park the problem is if the men find you attractive without all the enhancements you are screwed as far as making friends with the cocktail waitresses!
Because if you are shift change cocktail waitress they won't take their break unless they are made to. Smooge with the bosses and bartenders they will become your allies.
