Quapaw Nation scanning Central Arkansas workforce for Pine Bluff casino workers (1,500 jobs)

The Quapaw Nation’s Downstream Development Authority is keeping good on their promise to ramp up hiring for the Indian tribe’s trucking stop annex in Pine Bluff, launching efforts during and after the Labor Day weekend to fill “hard to fill” casino positions from a steady pool of applicants.

In Little Rock, the Downstream management and human resources officials are working with private and government workforce groups to hire workers for the Saracen Casino Q-Store, which will be located at the Pine Bluff trucking stop on land purchased by the Quapaw Nation business entity.

One of those groups, the nonprofit Arkansas Employment Career Center of Little Rock, specializes in working with finding jobs for applicants “needing a second chance,” Founder and CEO Carla Sanders told Talk Business and Politics at a recent job fair to screen and hire applicants for the Saracen Q-Store. That trucking plaza casino, which is expected to have more than 300 gaming slots, has plans to open for business ahead of the expected late 2020 or early 2021 grand opening for the larger hotel gaming and entertainment complex.

I think drug-testing will be required, and that will cross off 50-percent of the folks interested in applying.

Having lived Nev for too many years, I can say in advance - nothing good will come from this.

Only misery and despair.

Well I can say this. Used to make two runs a year to Las Vegas and did it for many years. For the last 8 or 9 I’ve been going to Indian Casino’s in New Mexico and Oklahoma with the occasional trip to Louisiana. None of the casino’s in any of those states or the surrounding area’s compare to Las Vegas. My favorite is the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso New Mexico. Nice Casino, Nice rooms, great food, beautiful lake, golf course and all at around 9000 ft. During the summer we West Texans have a tendency to drift to higher elevation and cooler temperatures. I got to where I couldn’t handle Vegas anymore with the crowds, traffic, crime and panhandling. I’ve yet to see any of that on the reservations.
