Dealer schools / getting a job as a dealer

Can anyone tell me which, if any, of the dealer schools in Vegas are legit? I am considering moving to Vegas and would like to get a job as a dealer. Do the casinos require that you first attend these schools? Any advice on getting a job as a dealer (or any other casino job) would be greatly appreciated!

You really can't be serious about this. In a good economy, you'd go through school and move on to dealing in a "breakin" joint. You'd work bad shifts making no money as you slowly climb the ladder to a decent place and so on and so on. I've had a couple of friends go through this and neither stuck it out. They just didn't want to pay the dues like you have to.

In this economy, I'd think you have no chance. Dealers with years of experience are out of work with little prospects.

On the other hand, if this was meant as a joke, nice try.

Good Luck!

I agree with the previous post...

Definately not a good idea. Especially with a place like the Sahara closing in the next two months. Also, have you ever considered what working as a dealer is really like?

Here in Vancouver, BC, I work in a Casino, as a Surveillance Operator. I started out as a Guest Services Representative and then became a dealer. It's a lot of work, and not very enjoyable. I think I lasted a year, constantly stuck on graveyards, dealing with drunks, having people blow smoke in your face, etc.

Granted, it does have good days where you can make some decent tips and have fun, but those days are far out numbered by bad...

Best of luck

You might have better luck becoming a dealer in a casino outside of Nevada/Atlantic City. Less competition. Once you got your experience you could just send resumes out to Vegas and see what happens.

I dont know what the future of table dealing holds. Seems like there are more and more electronic tables every year. You might have a brighter future trying to park cars at one of the big houses ...
