Let's Get this Meal Started
Right! Our friend Joey Crandall at carsonvalleytimes.com is at it again with
another one of his "throw downs" for a readers-choice favorite Carson
Valley food dish. This time it's App Wars - a poll in search of Carson Valley’s Signature
Appetizer or Starter. The nomination round is now open and you can vote through
5 p.m. Friday, March 6 by clicking
on this link. You'll notice we have a good representation of
appetizer selections from both CV Steak and Katie's on the ballot so far. My
personal favorite? Glad you asked: it's the Sampler Platter in CV Steak which can be ordered for either two or
four people . . . and the Ahi starter
is a very close second!!
- Location: The Picon Room, which is just inside the hotel entrance, to the left.
- Job Positions to Be Filled:
- Casino: Slot Floor Person, Sports Book Writers, Security, Cleaning Attendants.
- Guest Service: Cashier, Main Bank.
- Food & Beverage: Cooks, Hosts, Servers, Bartenders.
- Fastest Way to Be Considered: Bring a completed Carson Valley Inn application. Here are a few ways you can obtain one in advance:
- Go to www.carsonvalleyinn.com and click on the word "EMPLOYMENT" which appears at the bottom of every page on our website. Click in the appropriate place for the job application. Or, better yet, click here and the job application will load. You can complete it on your computer, save it, print it, and bring it with you. Or you can print out the blank form, fill it out by hand, and bring it with you.
- Stop at the Carson Valley Inn HR office, pick up an application, complete it and bring with you on March 14.
- Employment Applications will also be available at the Job Fair.
- Answers to some of the common job-related questions we receive about Sharkey's Casino:
- All pre-opening hiring for Sharkey's will be done through the Carson Valley Inn HR Department. Please do not go to Sharkey's as it is a very busy construction zone.
- We do not know the exact opening date. It will most likely be sometime in April. However, we will be hiring and start training shortly after the Job Fair.
- If a job position does not appear above, we do not have that position open at Sharkey's.
- Sharkey's will have slots plus a sports book, bar and restaurant. No table games are planned.
- Yes, you still have to submit a completed application even if you have a resume.
- Oh, in case you "just tuned in" and are wondering why we at the CVI are doing a Sharkey's Job Fair? Mike Pegram, owner of the Carson Valley Inn, bought Sharkey's late last year and many of the administrative support services for Sharkey's will be provided by the Carson Valley Inn.
How Did the Last Hour Escape Me?
Happens to all of us: We get busy, we lose track of time, and the next
thing we know it's an hour later. One time a year it's really not an
illusion – it actually happens. So, this Sunday at 2 a.m. we spring the clocks
forward to 3 a.m. Is it Daylight Saving
Time or Daylight Savings Time? The
answer to that trivia question and some more interesting facts about this twice-a-year
exercise are at this link.
Ladies-Only Poker Tournament a
Good "Deal!" Our inaugural
Ladies-Only, No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em Bounty Tourney was a big hit last Sunday
and Donna Negrey won the tournament on, get this, her 59th wedding
anniversary! If you're doing the math in your head, you gotta be thinking
"How did a 'gotta-be-close-to-80-year-old' take out all of the younger competitors!" Actually, we're thinking the same
thing and will ponder it until Sunday, March 29 when Donna defends her title in
the next monthly tournament which was moved a week earlier than normal due to
Easter Sunday the following week.
