Arizona Charlie’s Hiring Vegas Locals At Job Fair
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.
