Lisette Loesch got her first hospitality job on the Strip in May, leaving call centers behind in hopes of earning better wages from tipped work in resort-casinos. But after about a month of limited hours for her on-call job in a Paris Las Vegas restaurant, she said she was ready to look elsewhere for something that promised to be more steady.
She didn’t have to look for long. On a recent Thursday in July, she visited an MGM Resorts International housekeeping hiring event at the Nevada JobConnect Career Center and was able to walk away with a new job.
“I wasn’t used to (on-call/temp). It’s not fun. Some weeks you get hours, other week’s you’re like, ugh,” Loesch said. “I just want consistency and a good enough pay.”
