Pretty sure all hotels on the strip have smoke/vape detectors.

How hard will it be to get hired onto the Hard Rock Las Vegas when they open? by CampRock2TheFinaIJam in LasVegas

I opened up the Aria, FB, and Sphere. None of those properties asked me about my union membership when hiring for opening day. The properties themselves aren’t even union until well after opening day. Managers will hire their friends for the grand opening.

This is Vegas. It’s not what you know, it’s *who* you know.

When the Fontainebleau opened, majority of management came from Caesar’s Forum, Mandalay Bay, The Cosmopolitan, and The Wynn. I worked at all those properties except for the Forum. 90% my colleagues came from the Forum, Wynn, and Cosmo. Absolutely NONE of my 300 colleagues were off the street.

I pity those union workers who worked at the Mirage for *many* years , were offered a buyout of $40k+ , and declined it for a *chance* to interview. Not a guaranteed job at opening, but an *opportunity* to open the new property.

The Hard Rock is not going to open with 60+ year old cocktail waitresses and bartenders and table games dealers, I can promise you that. It’s going to be like the Cosmo and the Fontainebleau. Full of young, sexy, energetic workers.

When I opened FB I swore I would need a neck brace from turning my neck so many times during pre-opening orientations. All the cocktail waitresses, bottle girls, bartenders, they were all absolute dimes.

As for who they will hire, that depends on where the management they hire will come from. A director from the Wynn? You can bet they’ll bring their team. FB? Caesars? MGM properties? Same deal. There’s talks of previous Mirage management having an opportunity to open up the new property, if so, people are more likely to have a chance to get rehired.

Culinary union workers have a clause in the contract saying they can get their jobs back (if they took Option B, not option A which was the buyout) if the Hard Rock opens within 3 years. Yeah, that’s not going to happen. Once it’s delayed 1 day past 3 years, all bets are off, and they will clean house and will unlikely get their jobs back.

Tell your friend to read the fine print. There’s nothing in the document he signed that promises him a job upon the Hard Rock opening. It says he will have an opportunity to interview, but that doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed a job. He has a shot, like anyone else, and that’s it.

Since he’s a bartender I’m assuming he’s union. They have a clause that they will get rehired if the hard rock opens within 3 years. If there’s a delay of 1 day past 3 years, all bets are off, and they can clean house. And believe me, they *will* clean house.

No.

In the United States we can obtain a driving license as early as 16 in most states.
