I looked into this when I lived in Vegas.
The permits vary depending on where you work, but you must have at the very minimum, the food safety one(sorry can’t remember the exact name of the course. A resturant will be able to tell you.)
If you are serious about making some cash, you want to get on at a casino. But beware, these jobs take a long time to get! You must have cleared background checks, drug screens, multiple interviews, and you must have another liscense to work in a casino.
I’m thinking Vegas is a place where you must have a bartending liscense as well. Not positive though.
I was looking for a quick job, so this didn’t suit me. But there is SERIOUS money to be made if you’re willing to put up with the process.
Good luck!
If you’re looking for a quick job, try Tmobile customer service, it’s paid training, and the pay is very nice.
I’m not sure about how much, but it’s a tough road. I know a guy who went there to tend. Casinos only hire bartenders who are union. The union goes by seniority. To get a good job, you have to go through several years of taking dregs jobs at derelict bars.
My nephew tended bar at a casino. You know how casinos “comp” customers by giving them drinks? That drink isn’t free. The cost came out of my nephew’s wages and tips.
im a bartender 60 miles from vegas in a casino. i have worked in vegas also. you do need a sheriffs card to work at most places in nv either a gaming one or not. all casinos are not union. barbacks can making decent money depending on where you work. the irs taxes me on 7 dollars an hr. and you do not need a bartenders license. in vegas you do need to take a alchol awareness class. TAM i believe. alot of money to be made in vegas.
