When were you there that there was no action. On thur- sun it's usually packed. I don't feel sorry for them. They get a 20 minute break every hour and that $1500 a week check helps too

I rescind my sympathy. That's a cushy job. I imagine the Cosmopolitan is hopping Thursday-Sunday.

I am a dealer at Cosmopolitan WE don't make 1500 a week. So far it is a very good job but not that strong. The place is very busy at night especially when Marquee is open. If you go during day shift or early mornings I'm sure it is slow. But at night especially around 10 p.m-1:00 am it is packed. Go at those times and you will see the place with wall to wall people and tons of girls in short skirts.

Thanks for setting the record straight. I asked my girlfriend where all her money was going.....she's a dealer there also.

Airics, are you in management there? Seem to know a lot about the place.

I appreciate the honesty of melrobdd too. I got to give Airics credit for loyality to the places he works. He defended M resort to the end and now defends Cosmopolitan. He should be in their marketing department.

I think being loyal to your job is a good thing. As long as your employer's treat you right, treat them right.

I agree with that. It also appears he got a few promotions at those jobs. There are so many people who complain about their jobs and companies it is easy to stand out when you have a good attitude.
