Kind of a sexist comment...is there anything wrong with a woman being the primary earner in the family?

Let me rephrase. Your girlfriend is about to be hit on by a thousand guys who make ten times more money than you & she will combined.

I wouldn't consider any of those positions "stable" -- these are "dash in, make a lot of money and be squeezed out for breaching the contract by reaching the age of 30" positions.
Interestingly, she is an all-natural 42 year old. She has been there for 12 years. She works 9 or 10 months a year, and then travels for a couple of months. Not a bad racket!

It's 2015. Year round pool parties are the new thing now.

FWIW, and it's probably not much as I'm not in the industry, and just relaying information reported in the newspaper:

I'd think that the venues managed by the resorts themselves, rather than by an outside group, are not going to have nearly as much rampant sexual harassment and drug use.

I just don't see MGM Resorts Intl or Caesars Entertainment letting things go as far as that described in the linked article. Too risky for a publicly traded company that has gaming licenses at risk. Sure, The Palms and Hard Rock have had to pay fines in the past for illegal activities in their nightclubs, but the Light Group took things to a whole different level.

Yep. My wife had a couple of college friends from Hawaii that came here to work 2002-2007ish to work the clubs and pool parties. They made a killing during their time in LV. They finished school with no debt and a nice lump sum to go back to Hawaii with.

Win-win

If she decides to leave me for some rich guy throwing money and pickup lines at her while she works then so be it. If a girl is going to cheat or leave you then it's going to happen no matter what. Luckily for me we are in a serious commited and trusting relationship where this isn't a concern. I am professional poker player and am at the casino until 10am in the morning sometimes and could easily be tinder hooking up with women and she would be none the wiser, but I'm not, and she doesn't accuse or worry. Road goes both ways.

No dude in his right mind is going to hit on a headless woman, so I think that your relationship is safe.
