Ignore these negative people. Just come on out. I'm no bartender but I've heard for most of my life that you have to work as a barback before becoming a bartender in a hotel. I suppose that's a union rule. But you can always work at local neighborhood bars even if you've never tended bar in your life. I've seen that too.

Hmmm... normally I'm with you and ignore the negative nancys but the past half year have shown me that this is different, this recession(depression) is BAAAAADDDD, especially for vegas. I've got 2 friends who are HOT girls here, who got laid off and cannot find work, whereas b4 they were offered literally every bartending and cocktailing job on the strip, without even trying. People are not hiring for present venues at the moment, BUT...

But....
there may be a few openings for CityCenter that will not just go to internal transfers...probably not many, considering the rumors abounding say that CityCenter will open with just two of the buildings complete(approx 13% of the entire project) and the rest of the buildings will just have their exteriors finished to look presentable...

Anyways, good luck... Good weekly rentals can be found nearest to the strip at the Harbor Island apartments($179/week, a block from the strip, right next to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino) Hope this helps ...

BTW- the economy will pic up again. this is just a hiccup. the media got people scared so they stopped spending money. Americans get bored when they don't spend money. It will pass shortly.

Your optimism is certainly what we need at the moment, but this is NOT a hiccup, we are not even HALFWAY through the damage thats going to be done. People dont have money to spend when they dont have jobs to make money, remember that. We have had one wave of mortgage loans reset, causing the entire bubble bursting and recession so far, but now we have 2 more waves of ARM and NINJA loans to reset, starting next year, and analysts are predicting that between 50-75% of them will be defaulted on... That means trillions more lost by investors, trillions more in government losses, layoffs, unumployment between 12-18% etc etc. not to mention that we have already basically devalued our dollar between 10-35%, and when China begins selling its treasuries(soon), we will be in a massive inflationary spiral. There are videos on youtube that can explain everything(Type in "IOUSA" or anything with Peter Schiff... Trust me, as a finance major and an investor, we're not close to done getting hit...

1.5yrs later, and you're right so far. Care to give an analysis of the next 1.5 years?
