Casino Security in Vegas or Reno

[WatnNY]

Anyone here work or have worked armed casino security either in Vegas or Reno? Care to share how it was working that environment? I'm looking for a retirement job in a few years

Casino work has always interested me too! So, I too am curious.

Be Safe,

As an Aussie lad I am curious to know what opportunities there were in this line of work. I know there was about $1.00 an hour difference for being an armed uniform officer - and I read this on a post "somewhere" over the years.

I wanna know too........

I've been wondering the same thing too.

I've thought of moving to Nevada and becoming an armed security guard there. I figured having the retired P.D. I.D. card with the "Authorized to carry a concealed weapon" stamp would be a great asset to getting that type of job, as it allows me to carry concealed in all 50 states.

I hope SOMEONE will provide the info we are all looking for.

BPD - I'll have that authorization to carry when I retire also. Seems I came up with a great question - let's just see if any lurkers respond!

I did a MySpace search for people who work(ed) security in Vegas and have written to several -- we'll see what they have to say.

From my understanding, it's extremely hard to get on with casino security. I had a couple friends apply, and get denied as fast as they applied. If you have alot of surveillance training and experience, that will make your chances that much better.
