I did my 5 years in Vegas. I'm only ever going back to Vegas now as a tourist. With the constant expansion of gaming there's just no need to try and work in Vegas.
I haven't heard anything about outright rejections with the Midwest casinos, especially with the two Harrahs-owned Ohio casinos, just presuming so with Harrahs/Caesars being Harrahs/Caesars.
Plus, that would be dumb. If a person is experienced, teach them your policies! What's so hard about that? But again, I presume you're talking about Harrahs/Caesars, and, well...

Psand offered the opinion that some people would rather be unemployed in Las Vegas than work in Oklahoma.
Unfortunately, this is true, and isn't just confined to Oklahoma. I know when PA/DE opened up, the people with ties to Vegas tried to get people to come for the new market, and people refused to leave Vegas.
People would rather have miserable jobs in the Vegas weather than good jobs in northeast weather.
