Arizona Charlie's Casino is hiring. And this isn't just a job, it's a chance to be a part of Las Vegas history.
Arizona Charlie's has been one of Vegas' favorite local casinos since 1987, reviewjournal.com reported. The history comes from the famed Becker family in Las Vegas. They were known for their bowling alleys that featured slot machines. In 1987, Bruce Becker, one of the family's sons, announced a new idea. He wanted to add a casino to the bowling alley. Bruce joked at the time that casinos were adding bowling alleys to their businesses. He was just doing it the other way around.
And while some people make up catchy names for their businesses for marketing purposes, Arizona Charlie was actually a real person. He was born Abraham Henson Meadows, but renamed at the age of 3 to Charlie. He was a distant relative of the Becker family and some stories say that it was Buffalo Bill Cody who nicknamed him Arizona Charlie (reviewjournal.com).
And since the doors first opened at the Decatur location, Arizona Charlie's has been a favorite for Las Vegas locals. Many associate the casino with cheap food and great bingo. And today there are two locations. The second one being on Boulder Highway.
Both locations are now hiring for hospitality positions.
The hiring event will be Thursday, September 14. From 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Many positions are available, including cooks, servers, hosts, and bus runners. Casino positions include cashiers, engineers, porters, slot technicians and security officers. There are also management positions available. The job fair will include on-the-spot hiring and will be on the casino's second floor across from the bingo hall.
Arizona Charlie's offers great benefits for their employees. Including competitive pay, paid time off, an exceptional benefits package for full-time team members, career development and internal advancement, training and certification, company-paid meals and team member discounts at Golden Entertainment’s various restaurants and attractions.
Cook and bussers positions are open to anyone 18 and over. All other positions are open to those 21 and older. And anyone applying for a position that requires a health card will be asked to present that card at the interview. Interested applicants may apply at www.goldenentcareers.com by selecting "new applicants" and "Arizona Charlie's Decatur" or “Arizona Charlies Boulder.”
Top 5 Hardest Working States: Where’s Nevada
This weekend we observe Labor Day and the question you have to ask yourself is have you been working hard or hardly working? The Mike & Carla Morning Show found out that when it comes to the "hardest working states", Nevada didn't even break the Top 10! WalletHub recently put out an article ranking the all 50 states and running down "hardest working states."
Now keep in mind that on average, Americans put in more hours at work than people in a lot of other countries. If you do the math, the average in the U.S. was 1,791 hours last year . . . so get the calculator out and you figure that's about 36 hours a week, and if you take two weeks off a year.
Don't put the adding machine away yet, because if you total everything out, that's still about 25% more than what people work in countries like France, Germany, or even in the U.K. But a little less than our friends south of the border!
But when you start thinking about it, which state is considered the "hardest working state" in the country...well first, I can tell you that Nevada is not one of them. In fact, Nevada didn't even come close to cracking the Top 10.
On the other hand, we weren't last...that distinct honor is held by the great state of New Mexico. Other states ranking at the bottom of the list, Rhode Island, New York, Michigan and then West Virginia! Where does Nevada rank? Actually, Nevada comes in at #37!
The annual study ranked all 50 states based on things like employment rates, hours worked, average commute, and how much free time people have in general...clearly we have a lot of free time here in Nevada!
So what are the "hardest working states" in the country? New Hampshire, Virginia, and even Oklahoma all ranked in the Top 10, but what are the Top 5? Listen to the segment from this morning featuring a "Few Things We Think You Should Know", then scroll down to see if your state made it into the Top 5 of the "hardest" working states in America!
