Margaritaville Casino in Vegas Seeking Job Applicants

August 16th, 2011


Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Casino in Las Vegas is looking to hire at least 250 workers and several positions are already accepting applications:

The minicasino, which replaces a steakhouse in the Flamingo, will be the first to boast Buffett’s brand and is expected to include a 15,000-square-foot casino floor, 22 gaming tables, 220 slot machines and a centerpiece “Five O’Clock Somewhere” bar. It will build on the existing Margaritaville bar and restaurant that anchors the hotel.

Job descriptions call for employees who can “ensure that every Parrothead leaves with a change in their attitude, if not their latitude.”

Positions currently listed include bartenders and table games dealers.

To apply online, go to Caesars Careers, then search for both Flamingo Las Vegas and Margaritaville under Select Properties.

The Margaritaville Casino gaming area at the Flamingo is scheduled to open in October.
