Circa Las Vegas

I will give you the honest run down of the day to day if you're thinking of applying as a front desk agent, or night auditor at this place. The first thing I will say is BEWARE!!!  You show up for your shift either already dressed in, or change into your ridiculous suite that's required to work the front desk. It's very hot at the front desk and you can't take off the suite jacket, or roll up the sleeves. If you're lucky there will be a small desk fan for you to use, but for the most part you're suffering from the heat.  The way they do the scheduling forces you to come in very early in the day too around 4 to 5pm where you're immediately slammed with people checking in. They will tell you to stand up straight like you're in grade school. You can't even drink water at the desk while you're working. You're forced to multi task while trying to be trained by one of the managers/supervisors which makes focusing on the learning objectives very difficult. Of course if you forget something, because they made you constantly shift your focus to multi tasking it's your fault and not how they were teaching you. The checking guests in process is very lengthy and in all honesty I think annoys the majority of guests. I wasn't there long enough to learn the entire process of doing the night audit reports in their entirety,  but I can tell you that on a busy night you will need to work at the pace of 2 people to complete them. The only thing I learned from this job is that the ownership of the company has an unrealistic vision of how the hotel side should be run and it will likely fail in the long term due to the revolving door of employees coming and going. The workplace culture there is weird. The managers are young children in their 20s. They have little, or no background other than Circa which makes them easy to manipulate for upper management. The hardest part of the job was just showing up knowing you'll be hot all day/night in the suite jacket and unable to stay hydrated while working. The only enjoyable part of the job was clocking out at the end of the shift and leaving.  If you are thinking of working the front desk here I would strongly advise against it. There is absolutely no benefit at all to the job and 9 out of 10 other front desk jobs in the area will pay more.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Convenient commute, parking easy to find. Very lively environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management. Disorganized and problematic. Management drinks on duty and on property, which leads to a toxic environment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lively, entertaining but LOUD. Work culture is centered around sports, entertainment & gambling. Which is normal for a sports-oriented property on the Fremont Street Experience. However, management regularly consumes alcohol on the property, you can figure out very quickly what toxic truly means. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy, fast-paced, but a disorganized hot mess. Responsibilities during shifts are fairly straightforward, and guests are a joy to interact with. Phones will ring constantly, despite having a designated call center, and nearly impossible to speak with a guest on the phone in a very loud, EDM-filled lobby.  Security is rude, even to their coworkers. Management consumes alcohol constantly on the property & while on duty. Handicapped individuals or folks who use wheelchairs are discriminated against daily.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The other employees you work with are Great. 
Some Managers are really good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Circa is a braking house. The employees don't stay very long. The owner doesn't show any want to change this philosophy . It could be so much more than that. They will not give any pay increases so no one tries to excel in there job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is not any. There is no communication. Music is too loud for the full 8 hrs your stuck there and 40 hrs a week. I lost alot of my hearing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and uneventles. Music loud, gives you a headache. You are not informed of events so you can't answer guest questions.

The workplace culture I experienced wasn’t enjoyable. It is mostly management that is just terrible. They treated their female colleagues less than, when they run the office. This is a pattern for most directors and managers at the Casinos. They think way too highly of themselves when in all reality, their team is what makes their success. Forget about having any appreciation, good pay for what you do, good benefits etc. 
Morally flawed department as well, very little fairness, humility and respect. From an insider perspective, they do not have most people’s best interest in mind. Overall, very hard to go into work, especially for a company who has very different values and morals from myself. 

 If you’re not liked, they intentionally keep information from you. They will not take training seriously and gives you a person in training to train you or when you ask for a new trainer or further information, they ignore you. No updates on your performance right until they deem you not a good fit and terminate you. This company also makes the employees pay for parking and does not provide food, no edr. They also take one 40 min lunch break and one 10 min break and if you go over that, even for one min, they take it from your next break or even if you need to use the rest room which is on another floor, they will consider that your 10 min break.  This place sets you up to fail, look else where

Working at Circa was a nightmare. Every day I left feeling defeated and discouraged. My role was a V.I.P rep in the office on the floor. We would pull guests into our office if it became crowded out at front desk.  We would check in VIP guests. The thing was, the training was very long and boring. A 9-5 training for a week straight. THEN I had a whole other week of training just for me being in a VIP position.  Then came the week of shadowing and they barely taught me anything because they had me sit in a corner watching a screen for hours.  
Didn’t really click with any of my co workers, stale and toxic environment. Management talking about new hires in front of other new hires. Very weird. Lots of old white people. Had to pay to park and eat there. 

You get paid weekly which is awesome, but they don’t provide food for employees OR free parking for employees; you would have to find your own parking somewhere on Fremont and it’s pretty sketchy that way at night. The benefits weren’t all that great and depending on what position you are, they don’t offer them until after several months or a year. As a Dancing Dealer you can make money, so that’s a good position if your goal is just to make money, but the dealer breaks are short, it’s hard to get time off, and the burnout is real.

Love everything about it except that we are the lowest pay. Many continue to leave for Strip Casino jobs that pay double and triple what we get. It has a high turn over due to low wages. Sadly we lost incredible workers who left from 12. Hourly to 20. Hourly. 
It has a great family feel to it. It is extremely busy but the disappointing thing is if you can make double doing the exact same job and see a 10,000. Increase in your yearly income why would you stay ? Due to contract no raises for three years and that’s why no one stays there very long

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy job, great hours. Overal great place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They didn’t give me time off to get my daycare in order once my baby sitter left and they fired me. I didn’t like that I couldn’t get anytime off to get that in order a week would’ve been great.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast pace , peaceful, clean and calm.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is pretty quiet, fast past and consistent with work.

Circa will take individuals without experience and train them thoroughly. The staff there are happy and friendly with each other. The Circa has a high level of appearances as they card all patrons before entry. The inside of the casino is very clean and well maintained. The 2 level sports book is amazing to behold as well as the pool (which is heated and open every day of the year, though not always 24 hours). If there is one negative, it is that parking is not free nor provided for employees.
