Las Vegas casinos host competition to improve worker attendance during Formula 1 race
Several casino resort operators on the Las Vegas Strip have launched competitions to attract employees to work during this weekend's Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, according to a new report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal , because the salary is not enough. Ensuring 100% staffing has never been more important for resort operators.
Caesars Entertainment, which operates nine Las Vegas Strip resorts, is offering tens of thousands in prizes, including spa and restaurant prizes, as well as the grand prize of a BMW shifting gears during race week, the newspaper reported.
The plan was described in an internal communications video that was posted on YouTube and later made private.
A 2024 BMW X3 costs around $50,000. If you just look at the number of 10,000 hourly workers that Caesars Entertainment employs in Las Vegas, and those hourly workers are all covered by the Culinary Union—even though the Culinary Union employs far more—that means offering cars as Incentives can make a company as much money as handing over an hourly wage to a cooking employee, at a cost of $5.
Rush to the finish line
The Venetian's $250,000 "Race to the Finish" race offers cash prizes ranging from $500 to $10,000, with the grand prize being a new Tesla Model 3 or $25,000 cash, R-J reports.
To qualify, Venetian hourly employees must have worked every scheduled or on-call shift between last Sunday night and Monday, Nov. 20.
"After a year of hard work, dedication, flexibility and patience, it's important to express our gratitude and appreciation to our team members," a Venetian Air spokesperson said in a statement to the R-J.
We want to provide our team members with exceptional pricing and experiences that reflect the same excitement our guests will enjoy during this legendary week in Las Vegas. Our team members are the most important part of showcasing this resort and destination on a major stage in the world, and we are incredibly proud of their resilience and determination to make this event the biggest event Las Vegas has ever hosted. Incredible activity. "
Employees working during game week may face unpredictable and unprecedented issues related to travel, parking and demanding guests on the Las Vegas Strip closed to cars and pedestrians.
