Work for a Casino Resort

Often the size of a small town, casino resorts are a destination in themselves. Between the shopping, the dining, the entertainment and of course, the gambling, casino resorts attract a diversity of visitors, each with their own idea of what makes for the perfect vacation.

What is a Casino Resort?

Not every resort that has a casino is a casino resort. Small resorts properties may have a casino with basic gaming that is considered more an amenity than the central focus of the operation. Casino resorts tend to be large scale operations featuring massive gambling facilities that are supplemented by amenities of equal proportion. Unlike all other types of hotel and resorts, casino resorts have a unique business model.

To accommodate all kinds of guests, these properties will be quite diversified in their amenities. One property may feature 25 restaurants ranging from inexpensive, fast food outlets to world class, signature restaurants. The same property may feature shopping that ranges from stores that you'd find in your local mall to high-end designer boutiques. Additionally, many feature entertainment venues with headliners that appeal to a broad audience.
