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.

Answer 1 :
If not, it should certainly be a requirement since you cannot lawfully work in the US with a proper visa.
Answer 2 :
You need an E-1 visa in order to open a business. To get one you have to invest at least $500,000 in the business and create a certain number of US jobs. Otherwise you are not going to get one. If you can afford to invest that kind of money, consult an immigration lawyer. There are no casino jobs other than for world famous entertainers that need to sponsor immigration.

Answer 1 :
*face palms*
Answer 2 :
Zip..that's what your chances are. You cannot wok in he U.S. without a work visa, and that requires that you find an employer to sponsor your work visa. that happens only if you are highly skilled in a job for which an American citizen is not available.
Answer 3 :
Highly doubtful. The United States is in a recession, and 1 in 9 Americans are out of work. To legally work in the United States an American company would have to sponsor you because you have a job skill needed in the U.S., and there aren't enough qualified Americans to fill all the jobs. Currently to get a work visa you would need an ADVANCED degree, and years of specialized training in Medicine, Engineering, or Computer Technology. Trades/Crafts people (like marketers) will not qualify. There are too many unemployed American marketers looking for the jobs The U.K. has similar laws that prevents Americans from coming to your country and taking jobs away from qualified Brits.
Answer 4 :
Minimal. The economy in Vegas is the worst in the history of the State. The State, Clark County, Las Vegas and all surround cities have frozen hiring and laying people off by the hundreds. Business are open one day and gone the next.
Answer 5 :
You need a sponsor (employer) for a work visa - you can't apply for one on your own. http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html Check with US companies in the UK and UK companies with offices in the USA. For example, Hilton and Marriott hire international staff as interns. UK citizens can visit the USA for up to 90 days as a tourist, so you could travel for interviews & tests if necessary. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/i94_samples.xml Search "international exchange programs USA" and there should be many links to programs that offer temporary and seasonal work in the US. Examples are: http://www.ccusa.com/country.aspx http://yummyjobs.com/ Do carefully check any programs you might be interested in as not all of them are a good deal. Note that it is equally difficult for an American to move to/work in the UK. Good luck!

About what do you have to do to work in a casino in Las Vegas

What do you have to do to work in a casino in Las Vegas?
I am moving to Las Vegas in 6 months. My question is what do I have to do first to work in a casino. How much is the course at the dealer school and how long does it take. Also, do you first have to have a Nevada drivers license to work in Las Vegas at a casino. Is there anything else that you need. I will be working at another job until I am either called or placed. Any information on this will be helpful. Thanks

Answer 1 :
If you are going to work the tables you have to get a dealers license.
Answer 2 :
There are a lot of jobs in casinos. The people who empty the ash trays, cocktail servers, slot mechanics, security, dealers, pit bosses, managers. All jobs will require you to have a sheriff's card, which you obtain from the police dept. Casinos don't hire anyone who has a criminal history that involves stealing.
Answer 3 :
Yes you need a Sherrif's Card, TAM card (TECHNIQUES OF ALCOHOL MANAGEMENT CARD) and most likely (depending on employer), a health card as well. The Sherrif's card is 45$, the TAM card could be free if you have an employer set up, if not, it's 20$. But i know for sure you need a Sherrif's card to do any type of work in the casino. Dealer school i know two of them below, they are pretty good from what people say but i never been. How long it takes, well it depends on how many games you want to learn to play but courses are around $300 to $500 bucks again depending on how many games you want to learn. Give them a call and see what they say. Good Luck!
