Las Vegas Strip properties are now having to resort to holding job fairs to find employees

This is my 2nd time to live in Las Vegas, and if you would have told me 8 years ago my first time living here that strip properties would be holding job fairs I would have laughed at you.

Jobs on the strip like bell, valet, hospitality and dealers historically have been nearly impossible to get without either knowing someone, or greasing the palms of those doing the hiring(known as juicing your way in) which consists of having to pay a lot of money for the job. These jobs have been extremely competitive, and everyone wants to work on the strip, so if you don't know someone or aren't willing to juice in, you have to work your way up by working at the non strip properties, gaining experience and hoping to eventually catch a break. I only was able to work at Planet Hollywood in 2012 as a valet driver because I knew 2 guys who I worked for at a hotel in the DFW area who were running that operation.

The fact these properties are having to resort to job fairs and on the spot hiring should truly let everyone know how bad the employment crisis is getting. I don't even know how all the fast food restaurants around here(all of which plastered with NOW HIRING signs) are making it.
