mployment
Las Vegas has consistently maintained the highest new job growth in
the United States. Since 1990, Las Vegas has also ranked number one
in high-tech job growth (primarily high-tech services). The Nevada
labor force has increased by nearly 350,000 people in the last decade.
Not surprisingly, the construction industry continues to be a major
employer in Southern Nevada as the demands for residential, resort,
office and industrial space continue to soar.
Gaming, Las Vegas’ trademark industry, has served as the catalyst for
the lion’s share of the Valley’s phenomenal growth and outstanding
economic success. From finance to construction and retail to service,
Las Vegas’ tourist and entertainment venues and hotel and casino
resort properties promise a steady demand for jobs as well as create a
wealth of new business opportunities.
Employment Cards/Certification
If you are hired in a food and beverage or child care position, you must
obtain a health card from the Clark County Health District. If you are
hired in the hotel or gaming industry, some positions are required to have a
Sheriff’s Work Card. A referral from the hotel/casino is required in order to
get the Sheriff’s Card. If you handle or work directly around liquor, you are
required to have an Alcohol Education Card.

DAY TRIPS
Valley of Fire State Park
You can see some great sandstone formations as well as visible signs of
ancient residents of the area. Early evening light introduces you to colors
you never knew existed.
Grand Canyon
The park consists of 277 miles of the Colorado River and its massive
erosional effects on the surrounding landscape. The Grand Canyon can
be enjoyed from either the south or the north rims. The Grand Canyon is
located about 250 miles from Las Vegas.
Red Rock Canyon
It is a scenic area of rock formations and desert with a 3,000-foot
escarpment produced by a thrust fault. Red Rock Canyon has a Bureau
of Land Management visitors center and is home to feral horses, wild
burros, bighorn sheep, coyotes and a variety of desert plant life.
Bryce Canyon
The sandstone cliffs at Bryce Canyon will impress you with their peculiar
colors. Take a hike down into one of the canyons and watch as birds soar
high above the pinnacles that surround you.
Bonnie Springs Old Nevada
An old western town in Red Rock Canyon, with a motel, petting zoo,
shops, activities and western shootouts. If you want to see what the real
Las Vegas was like this is your chance.
BMX Track
Race your cruiser over a 1500 foot long dirt track of turns and obstacles.
If you like riding your bike around your neighborhood or on a homemade
track or jumps, then you’ll like this competitive type of racing.
Mt. Charleston
Reaches a staggering height of 11,913 feet, and it is the third-highest
peak in Nevada.
Zion National Park
One of the most awe inspiring sights in the American Southwest.
Featuring sky-high towers and cliffs of multicolored sandstone rocks,
the 2,000 to 3,000-foot high canyon walls of Zion National Park were
carved out over millions of years by trickling creeks and the rushing
Virgin River.
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
Beneath the colorful cliffs of the magnificent Wilson Range. The many
springs in these mountains provided water for Paiute Indians.

Since Las Vegas was an entertainment capital,
Moyer thought it only natural for Las Vegas’s
University to be nationally prominent in its
