Do you have boobs with more than 4 gallons of silicone? If so, no problem finding work... either by the hour or by the minute.

Well to work in Vegas, you will have to pass a Sheriff Back ground Check, get checked out by the Nevada Gaming Commission.. to work just about any place. Why? Well because slots are in 7-11, Dennys and just about any place they can stick them. There are plenty of jobs in Vegas.. but Casino work is rough, there are no days off, unless scheduled, show up late get points, get so many points get a few days off, come back and if you get more points you get fired... then other Casinos will have a harder time hiring you. There are many other jobs like construction, but do you really want to be out slaving in 100+ degree weather, and having to learn Spanish to speak to your fellow ground pounders?

And then there is the cost of living there.. rent is at an all time high with so many people flooding in. But hey you may do well.. just thought you should know the deal before you bet on the hand.

Yeah, wouldn't want Americans to do jobs they used to do like construction.

It's a nice place to visit but it sucks living there. I lived there for 1 year and it was the pitts.
