First Couple Days Of "Work"

Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a wonderful start to their week... I know I did. Monday we had orientation at Paris and it was a blast! I got to learn SO much about Caesars Entertainment that not only do I feel blessed to have the opportunity to intern with this company I feel proud to work for a company that shares the same values as I do. For instance, we spent a great time talking about responsible gaming and none of the Caesars properties will accept unemployment checks or any money issued that is meant to support a family. They made it very clear that they want gambling to be fun and for people who can afford to spend EXTRA money in the casino. We also learned about different benefits that Caesars gives to their employees such as financial assistance to get American citizenship or funds for schooling. Also, I really appreciate the approach they take on children in the casino. Its very clear that this industry and town is for adults, and the policies they have in place are not to keep children out but to protect children from any harm. Those were some of the more serious matters we talked about, but we had a blast learning about the service standards for Caesars' employees. We also got to go to the buffet at Paris, and it was SUPER delish! They're known for their crepes, and wouldn't you know that was the one thing I didn't try... oh well! SO I didn't really get a chance to take photos but there wasn't much to show.

Now yesterday was a different story! ALL of the interns from the properties embarked on a crazy scavenger hunt that took us around town. I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt because I got to learn a lot about the different properties and all of the fun things that are unique to Vegas!

So we started out at Caesars, because lets be honest its the best property! This first picture is our group at the Forum shops, after we posed we met Miss New York and Miss Rhode Island, they're in town for the Miss America pageant.

This picture is us with the "real" Caesar who lives here, he guards the front of the Palace.

We're pointing to the big toe of David which is a good luck token! Yes I know his genitalia is slight awkward... I have to look at it on a daily basis.

Cleopatra's boobs! Another good luck token... they have to constantly repaint her chest lol.

My team at the Garden of the Gods :]

CELINE! We're in front of the Colosseum where she performs.

Next we had to navigate the strip here are a few pictures from our adventures!

In front of O'Sheas.

At Mon Ami Gabi in front of Paris.

The smallest monkey that I have ever seen, he was so cute... but I felt bad that he was there :[

The Jubilee Theatre at Bally's!

We're acting like flamingos at the Flamingo... if you look closely you can see the real flamingos behind us.

According to this guy he's the only Asian who plays guitar on the strip, we saw him twice this day. I tipped him only because he had a dog, so I hope he'll buy dog food for it!

At the Rio which is the home of WSOP! Super intense.

Koi, the super trendy restaurant at Planet Hollywood, right next to Peep Show.

At the Rainstorm in the Miracle Mile Shops, I know I look like I'm doing the Thriller lol!

So we had sooo many more pictures but it would probably bore you to death! After we participated in the scavenger hunt, we all headed to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar where we got to meet some very important people at Caesars Entertainment. We had a really great time, and heard some amazing stories. Every 5 minutes I was reminded how lucky I was to be apart of this experience. All of the VPs and managers are committed to getting us jobs within the organization! Afterward we were all SO tired we just came home to our Frank Sinatra sweet and played cards. Heres a picture of the whole group with some of the interns from Paris/Bally's.

OH and everyone would be SO proud because I wore a BLUE dress! I felt very pretty :]

Today we had our property tour and I wish I could have taken pictures of all the amazing things we got to see, but everything is confidential to protect the VIP guests who stay there! Some celebrities and some ridiculously rich people. We got to tour a villa, a pent house, and a rain man suite... VERY COOL! Now we're all just hanging out getting excited about our official first days tomorrow. I'll be working at the cage, and I am super excited. I just know I am going to see some amazing things! Y'all have a wonderful night, more updates to come!
