The in-person event is open to the general public.

With many positions left to fill, we highly encourage job seekers to attend the job fair for an opportunity to meet with the Live! recruiting team and learn more about the opportunities we have to offer.”

Recruiters are available to assist with online applications and answer questions about the hiring process. A bank of computers is available for use by job seekers.

Walk-ins are welcome. However, appointments can be made by emailing [email protected].

Positions include:

  • cocktail servers
  • bartenders
  • food servers
  • line/prep cooks
  • stewards
  • bussers
  • bar porters
  • hosts

Bartenders and cocktail servers must be at least 21 years old.

Additional opportunities at Live! Casino

Additional opportunities are available in many fields, including hotel operations, finance, marketing, human resources, information technologies, facilities, security and surveillance, and gaming operations.

There are full-time and part-time positions in all departments and for all shifts.

“It’s not a requirement to have a gaming background to work here. Our ideal candidates will exhibit natural style, possess unique skills and express a willingness to learn,” Mikus said.

“We’re looking for dynamic employees who are inspired by new challenges, who are happy and excited to come to work every day and who want to have a lot of fun and engage the customer. Cherishing our guests is an integral part of the Live! experience.”

Live is gearing up to open its new mini-casino in the Pittsburgh area on Nov. 24.

And Live! launched its online casino app back in August. Now it’s looking to fill some key retail roles.
