You have been highly misinformed.
You have about a 1% chance going from the sportsbook to any kind of upper management position.
Your pay will be garbage, and unless you work in the pit you will never even get looked at.
And as for your "Short term sacrifice", you don't really have any idea how this business is. You will have to put in 15-20 years minimum right now in a Vegas casino to have any shot at one of these jobs (Unless you know someone).
You are loooking to be in the wrong field. Casinos in general are the wrong field.
Vegas is dying even though they are making money again in the casinos this year.
Unless you're a stripper or wanna be a cokktail waitress with huge fake
, you're not making any money here.
90% of upper management comes from table games, then about 9% from slots. That last percent would be classified for a miracle/well connected person who just gets it because he knows someone.
Get into table games and learn dice right away. And get used to choking on cokkks for the next 15-20 years to get where you wanna be.
Casinos are flooded with ppl who have been there forever waiting on guys to die just to move up one spot in the chain. And Vegas is the worst. Least turnover for any area right now would be in Vegas Casinos I'm sure.
