Revitalised CityCenter is chasing 12,000 staff

Four months after the CityCenter project in Las Vegas was saved from bankruptcy by its shareholders, Dubai World and MGM Mirage, the hotel and leisure complex is embarking on a hiring spree for 12,000 staff, officials said yesterday.

The recruitment drive for jobs at ARIA Resort and Casino, Vdara Hotel and Crystals retail district would be the “single largest hiring effort in the nation”, the company said. The jobs range from bartenders and cooks to prop handlers, slot operators and manicurists.

“We’re proud to celebrate this significant milestone as we begin to extend job offers to 12,000 deserving individuals,” said Bobby Baldwin, the president and chief executive of CityCenter. “This is more than a collection of resorts; we see it as a beacon of hope for a future of renewed economic vitality in Las Vegas.”
