The Las Vegas casino market alone lost 22,900 industry jobs over the last four years, according to the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation’s Research and Analysis Bureau. Nevada’s gaming industry was hit hard by the recession, shedding more than 30,000 hotel-casino jobs between November 2006 and November 2010 as consumers cut back on travel and spending in Las Vegas. Valerie Murzl, corporate vice president for human resources and training, said the newly created positions are an example of the company’s 'commitment to reinvesting in our community.'Įven with the new hires, Station Casinos will still have fewer than the approximately 14,000 workers it employed at the company’s peak in 2008 following the opening of Aliante Station in North Las Vegas. The open positions listed on the company’s website include 500 full-time and 500 part-time positions.
The new hires come on the heels of the company hiring 164 people in October for customer service positions at its Las Vegas properties. Station Casinos Inc., which employs almost 12,000 people at 18 properties in Southern Nevada, will hire 1,000 employees over the next couple of months as it increases its staffing levels to match improving economic conditions.
