CASINOS: THE RICH AND FAMOUS

You can almost hear Robin Leach now. His distinctive, famous voice yelling out the words everyone knows by heart. There's no denying it: the thought of rubbing elbows with the rich and famous offers a tremendous draw for those considering working at a casino. Renewed interest in the gaming industry by the country as a whole means more and more celebrities are showing up at the tables. Tales abound of movie and television stars, famous athletes, recording artists, and prominent business figures winning and losing big at games of chance. Several dealers we talked with mentioned the famous folks they've had sitting at their tables: Bill Cosby, Bruce Willis, Michael Jordan, Frank Sinatra. As expected, most celebrities play at the ultra-luxurious hotel casinos; and naturally, dealer positions at such hotels usually go to the most experienced applicants. But even if you don't start out working where the glitterati typically gather, you can always pop in on days off. If you are into people watching, this business is for you.
