Hey everyone. Im moving to Vegas from Cali to attend school and i need to find a job. I have previous experience working as a server. Im currently 20 years old so would that be a problem finding a job? I also heard that some places require a type or tam card or something to work inside of a casino? I was thinking of just getting a bunch of applications to different resturants to see if they needed servers, but would anyone reccomend a place? I wonder if anyone knows a place with good tips? :D I would greatly appreciate any information or advice. Thanks!

I lived in Vegas for twenty years, my wife worked at a large hotel and, retired from there.
I suggest you start by going to the union hall behind Stupek's tower if it's still there and, apply to one of the unions you choose to work with. They will send you to a hotel, you'll have a choice.
Bring all kinds of verification of past employment, birth certificates (original, not copies) drivers license, etc with you. Bring any bank accounts or, letters of references will help. Your own copy of a Cal drivers record if you can (Taxi drivers do O.K.) I drove for six months part time.
Lot's of extra cash, checks are no good there. Start a bank account right away.
Find a place to live right away and get a phone, you might have to pay up front for everything, this hurts a lot of people. I'd guess have an extra two grand for up front paying.
Check with someone like "Award Realty" on the West end for apartments or rental to start with, very reliable.
Don't get caught up in the gambling or drinking, chasing, spending all your time and, money in the casinos, you'll never make it.
Keep a tight hand on your wallet, don't get scammed and don't take chances. Good luck.
