Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, the newest resort near the Strip, scheduled casting calls for pool and dayclub positions on Thursday and Friday. “Moving forward, we know there’s going to be a need for other positions,” Goldberg said.

The recent hiring surge will help fill positions for the upcoming pool season, but Goldberg said recruiting efforts should continue in the coming months. Hiring efforts have been escalating quickly: Goldberg said new hires can be on the job as soon as the week after the initial offer. “I don’t think anyone expected the ramp-up to happen this quickly.”Ĭurrent openings at MGM include guest room attendants, pool staff and security workers. “There’s no doubt that we’re probably a little bit stretched,” Goldberg said. The hires should help ease the staffing shortages the company has experienced in recent weeks, as travelers have started to return en masse. Goldberg said MGM’s hiring efforts have been ongoing since the beginning of the year but started to really pick up steam about four weeks ago. “We don’t want to be in a position where we can open all the restaurants and open at 100 percent of our occupancy but not have enough people to serve our guests the way we want to serve them,” said Randy Goldberg, MGM’s vice president of talent acquisition strategy. Local company leaders say these efforts should reduce staffing shortages and help prepare them for further business upticks that are expected to go hand-in-hand with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in the coming months. At a job fair last week, the company hired more than 100 people on the spot.
