Pooled Resources: Now hiring!

By Xania Woodman

How’s that resume looking? And your intro letter? What about your abs? Because that’s really what it’s gonna take to get hired at some of Vegas’ hottest pools, most of which will be opening in mid-March. Well, that and a tolerance for sun, heat, loud music, drunkenness, debauchery, nudity …

Wet Republic:

The ultra pool at MGM Grand will open in March for its second season and is holding an open audition for model cocktail servers, model beverage runners, model VIP hosts, model door hosts, model barbacks, model cashiers and model bartenders* on Tuesday, February 3 and Wednesday, February 4 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at Tabu. You must wear swimwear and bring a headshot and resume. Callbacks on February 5 and 6.

Rehab 2009 Casting Call:

Tao Beach:

* A quick note on the use of the word “model.” In this context, model does not so much refer to an exemplary employee but rather to the manner in which clubs and casinos get around using whatever highest seniority union workers sign the bid sheets in casinos. By making it a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) that pool or club staff be models—a very subjective title—the clubs have their pick of the hottest, buffest, bronzest beach bods. Of course, knowing which end of a bottle of beer is up helps too… It’s an industry standard—get used to it.
