Default vegas dealers, HELP! question about foreigners.

hey everyone,

so i'm going to vegas to live this summer with a few friends. right now i am living in spain, and when i move back, i have a friend who wants to move back with me to las vegas. he deals in our club we have here in madrid, and i think dealing in vegas would be a great opportunity for him to learn english better, make some money, and have fun.

i have a couple logistical questions though. first, how likely is it that he will be able to find a job? his dealing skills are good but his english is not very good, although he understands almost perfectly. he is going to work on it before coming for sure but what are generally the basic english requirementS? does anyone know dealers that don't speak perfect english?

secondly, the problem also exists in him getting some sort of work visa. i assume dealers are never paid under the table, so does anyone know generally what requirements are to work in the US? maybe if people know foreigner dealers, they might know already or be able to ask them (or direct me to someone who might know better)?

thanks so much for your help!

There is zero chance of your friend getting a visa, or any kind of sponsorship for casino work.

If he is from western europe there is also zero chance of him being elligible for the green card lottery, this is now only open to eastern europeans.

A better question would be does anyone know dealers who DO speak perfect english.

Pffffffffffffft!

Damn you, now I'm cleaning the beer off my computer screen.

He'd do a lot better to learn to communicate in English before he gets here tho.

The work visa will be hella important tho. Without proper documentation he won't get work, at least not in places like las vegas where they are picky, picky, picky. Beyond this, I know nothing of this subject so you must seek help elsewhere.

perfect, now can someone give me a maybe useful answer?

he is from WESTERN europe, as i said i lived in SPAIN. if you took the time to look at a map you might see it's the most western apart from portugal.

now to the helpful answers - if none of the dealers speak good english, how do they get their jobs? does it involve sucking a lot of dick (i dont think my friend is too into that)? if not, what other methods might one employ?

thanks in advance for your kind kind help this lovely forum,
duck.

Your problem lies in that the majority of posters here are US citizens, as such we have no clue how to get a job in the US as a foreigner.
