Advise on getting a job in Las Vegas

[Linda C]

I'm planning to move to Las Vegas and would appreciate any advise re: license requirements, etc. Also, I would like to know what's the job market like, are there any massage therapy jobs available (if any)... Thank you in advance.

While I don't know the specifics about licensing...
a quick search will take you to the NV Massage Therapy Board

when I want to check out the job market in an area I go to two places...
The first is indeed.com and there are several postings for Las Vegas ...
http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=massage&l=Las+Vegas%2C+NV

And I usually check out Craig's list
For Las vegas there are not a lot of postings here...

Nevada requires therapists to be NCBTMB certified with a minimum of 500 hours of training for a state license. If you have a previous license you must send a copy of your current license as well as have your licensing authority fill out a form to verify that your license is in good standing. You also still have to have your school send transcripts.

Often, employers will also require a Clark County license- I don't remember if this is a massage license or a business license. This usually happens if you work in Henderson. As for job availability, there ARE jobs, but also a lot of people applying for them so it's very competitive and a lot of the major hotel/casinos have a high turn-over rate.
