With CityCenter’s first opening date just a month away, thousands are gearing up for new jobs at the property.
CityCenter brought hundreds a step closer to work on Wednesday as it handed out uniforms to new employees.
For those who have been out of a work, the uniform is symbolic of the beginning of new opportunities.
“This is like early Christmas. This is like the best gift I could unwrap for myself,” Gabriel Bustamantez said.
Bustamantez will begin his training for a room service position at ARIA in the coming weeks. The former graphic design professional said he was laid off in February and has been out of work since.
Like many other unemployed Nevadans, Bustamantez said his savings dwindled, he struggled with bills and his job search led him from dead end to dead end.
