huge mass of unemployable people out there-- 85% of that issue is stinky stinky attitude.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame the people who live here (although LV has more than it's share of riff raff). The economy truly is dismal here. You can't blame it on attitude when you look at indicators such as plunging state tax revenue. Some of you seem to be in total denial of the state of the economy.

I do work in the industry, have a great job and because I am great at what I do, young, good-looking, and well connected, I could get other GREAT jobs in the industry if I wanted to, and am fairly well versed on whats out there.I know quite a few people who do surprisingly well as Bartenders/cocktail waitresses working local joints, but NONE do that well. I know what people make around town, so unless you hold down two of these jobs full-time, are skimming off the top, and robbing the safe every few weeks, YOU ARE LYING.
STRAIGHT UP LYING. To a kid who could base a move across country on your BS; you should be ashamed of yourself.

Or maybe I'm wrong;
Name these 8-10 jobs you say are hiring right now that make between 40-50k/year.
Name all the retail jobs you say are hiring at NewYork NewYork right now, since you say there are "plenty".
And mention where you work, because I'm sure myself and a few of the other posters will probably know someone who works there and be able to ask them if "Joe the Gaming Bar Scene Guy" pulls in 6 figures.

Hahaha I'm kidding. I know you can't do any of that, so just stop deceiving people, its irresponsible and insulting.

I am not going to get into a pissing contest with you. I dont tell you I make 100K a year to impress you but just to impress upon you that in the right gaming bar out here it is very easy to make up to 6 figures. Once again I will ask you....do you work in a gaming bar? Because if you do you will know that it is a very common practice for your locals to tip you 10% or higher when they have a signifigant win on video poker/keno/slots. Joe Blow hits a $2 royal flush for $8000 and pushes a $800 tip across the bar. It is common practice. $1200 nights are not that uncommon in the right place with the right people. Next time you are in a busy PT's on a friday /Saturday night between 9pm and 4am just take a glance on the rail of the bar and take a quick count of some of the tips on there. More often than not you will see between $50-$80 an hour going into the bartenders bucket. I have been in the industry 10 years now. A lot of them with PT's and the last 2 years at a popular gaming bar in the southwest. Just did my year end totals and wound up coming to $515 a shift for the year. Dont get me wrong...I know this may not be the norm. Our bar does very well. The overweight balding guy slinging drinks at PT's on Nellis or Putters in the ghetto is not going to do as well obviously. Just dont be so blind as to what is out there. I am still in contact with may people from PT's and other gaming bars who all easily make 80K or more. It is a great gig if you can land one. Im now done ranting. If you ever find yourself driving down the 215 near Decatur-Jones-Rainbow in the southwest on a weekend grave and are in the need of a cold drink , some of the best bar food in town and some great company then pop your head into one of the couple bars in that area and you might find me. Good luck to you in everything you do.

Joe... in the service industry there is it just like here... where you have to "KNOW" somebody to get a decent job?

Thanks guys, I'm glad some of the regular posters here are smart enough to be able to read through the BS posts

[Joe3788]

I guess I should be flattered.....Kinda like when everyone thinks a guy is on sterroids when he is not....He just looks THAT GOOD!

I find it hard to believe that locals are gambling as much and tipping as much during this economic downturn. Maybe if the clientele was almost exclusively retirees I could believe it, because their incomes would be more stable, but locals are cutting back on everything, and gambling and drinking and dining out would be one of the first items of discretionary spending people cut out.

Good Luck to all looking for work.

oh??? Could u please let me know, I am a server/ bartender of 13 years, and are planning on going to Vegas on the 23rd of this month for a month to seek employment.
