American Casino Seeks Job Applicants

The American Casino & Entertainment Properties -- The Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower, Arizona Charlie's Decatur and Arizona Charlie's Boulder -- are actively seeking job applicants among those people displaced by Hurricane Katrina, announced American Casino & Entertainment Properties.

"The gaming industries in Mississippi and New Orleans were especially hard hit by Hurricane Katrina, and as a result, thousands of qualified and capable workers were left with nothing. We want everyone from social service agencies to displaced workers and their relatives to know that we have numerous openings in Las Vegas, and we are always looking to hire dynamic and energetic people," said Brad McPherson, vice president of human resources for American Casino & Entertainment Properties. "The scope of the disaster is overwhelming, but helping our peers in the gaming industry to get on their feet is a good place to focus our efforts."

The American Casino & Entertainment Properties have openings in virtually all areas of the gaming/hospitality industry: gaming, hotel operations, food & beverage, finance, facilities, housekeeping and many more.

"We realize that there may be challenges with applicants not having resumes or appropriate identification or references, but we are flexible and willing to work to overcome any challenges that may arise. Our objective is getting good people into good jobs as soon as possible," added McPherson.

The American Casino & Entertainment Properties Employment Center is located at 2121 Las Vegas Boulevard South in Las Vegas, Nevada. The center is directly across the street from the landmark Stratosphere Tower.

Applications are currently being taken in the Employment Center from Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. To expedite the process, applications can also be completed online at stratospherehotel.com.
