Job Center Opens for Laid-off Workers

LAS VEGAS -- A one-stop job search center will be set up to help laid-off workers from the Castaways hotel-casino. The center will operate at Nevada Partners in North Las Vegas beginning Tuesday and ending Friday.

The center was organized by the Nevada Department of Employment Training and Rehabilitation, Culinary Union Local 226 and other area agencies in response to the casino's unexpected Jan. 29 closure.

Laid-off workers will be given job search assistance, job training, job placement assistance, emergency economic assistance and unemployment insurance assistance.

The sessions are set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Nevada Partners, 710 W. Lake Mead Blvd. Former Castaways workers can call the Castaways Employment Assistance hotline at 657-3335. Also, laid-off Binion's Horseshoe workers can call 657-3334 with their questions.
