Working in Vegas

[mivey]

In many areas HOs can do their own work without permits.

We can in Georgia (maybe not permits but licenses anyway).

(some have said more like the bar after work).

That is probably a better description of it. You can learn some interesting things but you have to sort through a lot of chaff to find it.

In addition to my last post, I'll be fair and say not all of the casinos are maintained by LU 501. Some are just in house staff with no union affiliation and to be honest both union and non union have their problems. Our AHJ is in the process of reinspecting every major casino in town , and every property has major life safety violations as well as minor and they vary from missing smoke seals on rated doors to additions and remodels of entire floors without permits

So to be clear, I was not taking any "shots" at any union or non-union.

Start with the Riviera

Start with the Riviera

Actually the Imperial Palace and the Rio have been under investigation for more than a year already and reinspections are under way at the Orleans, Excalibur, Treasure Island, Tuscanany, Monte Carlo, Circus Circus, Tropicana and there are about 46 more properties to be inspected during the next year :roll:

Can I help? :roll:

I wish, our stock of commercial electrical inspectors is down to 11 for the entire county. We do have some commercial combos:roll:, but they generally avoild the electric stuff since most of them do not feel comfy with inspecting stuff they really don't understand.

Kevin,

Fisk Pulled all 30 of their guys at FB, Bombard is talking about laying off 500 electricians, and I got caught up in the "wipeout" of 200 + electricians at Conti.

Hard times just hit Vegas like a wrecking ball. 300 + guys on Bk 1 and over 1100 on book 2.

Think I'm going to be going north.

I am. I only spend minimal amounts of time there because I'm a bit of a prude and don't care for the language and non-professional talk that goes on at times.

Like Iwire said, Mike's is the professional office and e-talk is the break room (some have said more like the bar after work).

I go go there once in a while and read, I dont participate too much, it seems like there are alot of guys with thin skin or chips on their shoulders there, and like you said alot of the language is pretty unprofessional, I just dont care for the bickering that goes on...

I heard about the blood letting at the office, NOT GOOD.
