Company History

Harrah’s Entertainment was founded by William F. Harrah in 1937, in the form of a small bingo parlor in Reno, Nevada. But it was only in the early 1970’s that Harrah’s began the campaign of expansion that would eventually make their name the household word that it is today.

In 1971, Harrah’s went public, in 1972 they were listed on the American Stock Exchange, and in 1973 they became the first casino company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Eight years later, Harrah’s was bought out by Holiday Inn, and a long period of expansion began, with new openings that included, Harrah’s Atlantic City (1980), Bill’s Casino (1987), Harrah’s Laughlin (1988), Holiday Casino Las Vegas becomes Harrah’s (1992), Harrah’s Joliet and Harrah’s Tunica (1993), Harrah’s Bossier City and Harrah’s Phoenix (1994). More casinos would open in the next ten years, and in 2005, Harrah’s bought out Caesars Entertainment. In an odd quirk of corporate marketing, Harrah’s would officially assume the name Caesars (note lack of an apostrophe) Entertainment in 2010.

Today Harrah’s, (or, more officially, Caesars Entertainment), is the largest gaming company in the world, with 40 casinos, (6 in Las Vegas alone), and over 8 Billion US dollars in annual revenue. For comparison purposes, note that of the 227 nations and territories in the world today, fully one third of them have a Gross Domestic Product, (the value of all goods and services produced within the nation in a year), less than the annual revenue of Harrah’s Entertainment.

Harrah’s Jobs

Harrah’s is a very large organization, and they do far more than run casinos. But a bookkeeping job is a bookkeeping job no matter where you work, so let’s look at some of the entry-level jobs that make Harrah’s unique.

Pit Clerk – This is a support position in the gaming pit, and a common position for new employees to start. You keep the supplies stocked, you answer phones, you change ribbons in the printers, you do filing, you enter information for new players, and generally back up the pit supervisors in any area that needs help. Must be 21 years of age.

Blackjack Dealer – You need a year or so of experience at a job where you deal with customers directly. You need good manual dexterity, and you need good peripheral vision. You greet the customers, deal the cards, talk your professional “patter” as you run the game, calculate winners and losers, and collect and pay bets, while protecting the casino and its customers from cheats by careful observation.

Count Room Rep – You receive the drop boxes from Pit Operations, count the money inside, compare your count to the data shown on the terminal, and enter the results. You need good manual dexterity and math skills, and a high school diploma or GED. Previous money-handling experience is preferred, but even a job as a clerk at your local 7-11 counts, and its not an absolute requirement.

Poker Cashier/Dealer – You distribute money to guests via check cashing, credit/debit card transactions, or cashing in of gaming chips, tokens, and coins. You fill in as a poker dealer when needed. You need basic computer knowledge, good people skills, and good math skills, as well as a high school diploma or GED.
