Jorn, yeah. Looks like we're kind of stuck here for the immediate future, anyway. I had a couple of firm job offers and another nice sounding opportunity that hasn't come to fruition just yet. I applied for a position with Station Casinos in their Executive Management Program on a lark and somehow won the position out of 1000 applicants. Then, through fate or whatever, just happened to run into a company called Holiday Systems International at a job fair (where I was trying to track down a recruiter for Palms). Anyway, making a long story short, I was going to go with Station Casinos and told HSI as much because I was trying to think long term and wasn't sure what my future would be like at HSI, and not only did the Operations Director / CEO personally call me to make it clear that they wanted me badly, but he explained what his plans were for me and bumped up their starting salary offer to a level I couldn't say no to. So, I took the job at HSI after all. Now, I'm waiting on a restaurant group to either get their stuff in order here in Vegas and make me an ever better offer, or I'll work at HSI for at least the next few years and pay off some debt, if nothing else.

All in all, a pretty great Christmas! =)

Oh, and part of the benefits of me working at HSI is that I can use my position to get family and friends insanely great wholesale rates on lodging and accommodations. Last month they had a two bedroom suite at a five star Paris resort for $300 (usually $6000!)

Anyhow. I'm being paged from the Bella Dancerella dance floor. Talk to you goons laters!
