CityCenter’s Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas will host three job fairs next week to fill some of its 500 open positions, the hotel announced today.
The non-gaming hotel will host a job fair from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15 for its food and beverage positions. Another fair will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 19 for housekeeping and security positions. All fairs will be held at CityCenter's Career Center at 3549 Industrial Road.
The hotel said offers of employment will be given this month, with employees beginning work in October to prepare for Mandarin Oriental’s December opening.
Mandarin Oriental announced in July that it was accepting applications to fill more than 500 jobs, including positions in food and beverage, hotel operations, spa and fitness, finance, facilities and security.
Candidates must visit Mandarin Oriental’s career Web site to apply. After a review with human resources and departmental interviews, all candidates then will meet Mandarin Oriental's general manager for final interview.
MGM Mirage announced in December 2008 that it was seeking more than 12,000 workers to fill positions at CityCenter and other company-owned properties. The 500-plus Mandarin Oriental positions are part of those 12,000 openings.
Hospitality management firm The Light Group announced last week that it would be hiring 350 workers for its three food and beverage outlets at the Aria Resort and Casino in addition to CityCenter’s 12,000 initial positions. Light Group will host a job fair on Saturday and Sunday from at the Mirage Events Center.

I seriously heard that if you look like you or your parents came from the far east, you will have the best chance of getting a job at the Mandarin. Plus if you speak Mandarin, you have an even better chance. Just saying....
ni how r they hiring any dealers
I worked on the construction of the Mandarin. Tell me folks, whaddy think are the odds they'll hire me if I show 'em a picture of me standing in there with my hard hat and safety vest?? After all, I do know all the walls that have been urinated on.
I just reckon that Vegas is completely over-loaded with casinos. "Over-Offer",so-to-say. This leads into mega-competition and is actually good for the customer, but murder for the operations. The free market is good, but it should have at least certain limits. The problem I see is that today's new casinos have thousands of slot machines and hotel rooms whereas 20 years ago these hotels were smaller and had less slots. The city grew like crazy, sure, but still, it's mostly the tourists that bring the money to the casinos. If Vegas had 50 per cent less casinos and 50 per cent less hotel rooms right now, I think there would be absolutely no recession in Vegas.
I am curious to see an half empty Citi Center Monolyth, desperately trying to sell its condos under pair value. I might be inclined to get one of these conddos for 25,000 usd.. Call me if you have one for sale...:)
The economy will bounce back. Government spending created many jobs in the Great Depression, Hoover Dam for example. Some paint that as socialism, others as a wise public investment -- found a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth
What language is Chuck speaking?
Citi Center will stay with the norms as set by the other Casino's in Vegas. E-verify will not be used to verify if a perspective employee is an American citizen or not. Where's ICE when you need them?
Let's watch and see if the number of Clark County's unemployed citizens goes down in number when this property opens.
what i can't figure out is with all the people out of work, and the thousands of applications they have, and the other job fairs they have done...how could they STILL be looking for people?
i think these job fairs are nothing more than a sneaky way to get some free press.

There is a huge demand in U.S for Medical Assistants. People should get a degree in Medical Assistant and get a job find more at http://bit.ly/440dpp
Another Place that says they are hiring but is really a total joke. Half their staff is coming from Transfers from other MGM-Mirage Properties. While the others will be hired from the laid-off staff from the same said Properties.
