Default Re: Jobs in Vegas

There is obviously some. The casinos need folks to make the networks and PC's go. And their corporate offices need a few people. And Shufflemaster and the like need people. UNLV and the community colleges hire a few tech weenies. There's a fair pile of DOD-related work, too, if you have a clearance and particularly if you're into spending 3 days in the desert camping with the troops running the latest Top Secret whizbang gizmo Rockwell produced.

But I've run into exactly 0 local IT people at the poker tables; they may be there, but in random conversations nobody has ever said "I live in Vegas and I'm an IT person". As a percentage of the job market, it's tiny. It's just not a technocentric area like DC, SillyValley, Boston, Research Triangle, Seattle, etc.
