About how old do you have to be to work in Las Vegas Nevada

How old do you have to be to work in Las Vegas Nevada?
I'm only 14 and a freshman, but really anxious to work, so I was wondering if anyone knew how old you have to be to get a work permit in Las Vegas, NV and also if you know how you would go about getting it, that would be great. Oh P.S.: If anyone knows the age you have to be to get your permit to drive, that would also be appreciated. I appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you, Taylor :)

Answer 1 :
you can only work 16 hours a week 4 hours maximum a day need a workers permit in the state of nevada, you can get driver's permit at 15 and 1/2
Answer 2 :
14 or 15 with a worker's permit and there are a lot of restrictions that come along with this. 16 without a worker's permit, but a lot of places in town only hire at a minimum of age 18 and some places even 21. If you are 14, you would be required to get a permit to work- you can then work no more than 3 hours per day and not to total more than 18 hours per week. You have to be 15 1/2 to get a driver's permit. One of the biggest things you have to keep in mind is that the jobless rate in Nevada is over 14% and one of the worst in the nation. Who do you think is going to hire a 14 year old with no prior work experience, who has to depend on other's for a ride to work, and who can only work 18 hours per week? People with college degrees are bagging groceries in this town because there simply aren't jobs available. The odds of anywhere hiring you are slim to none. But still, it couldn't hurt to apply so you at least get the experience of filling out applications. Who knows if you'll get as far as an interview, but if you do, that would be a valuable experience too.
