“It’s not just a casino,” she explains, gesturing toward the retail, restaurant and entertainment spaces that ring the interior gaming floor.

“You know you’re close when the paint is dry,” Fox-LaRose says, stepping gingerly over cords and construction debris on the floor and sidestepping work crews in their hydraulic lifts. 5, the casino is nearly three-fourths of the way toward completion and is on track for its April of 2017 opening. The inside of the new ilani casino-resort is quickly taking shape. On the far north side of the 100,000-square-foot gaming space, “the cage” - where cashiers will handle the gaming operations many money transactions - is taking shape with its sturdy lattice of metal beams.Īnd, of course, painting has already begun. Floor-to-ceiling windows, which set the ilani apart from most casinos by connecting the gaming floor and surrounding restaurants and shops with the outside world, illuminate the cavernous gaming area, which will, only six months from today, be filled with 2,500 slot machines and 80 gaming tables. Tiles adorn walls inside several partially finished bathrooms. Those seeking employment in the restaurants at ilani must be able to work nights and weekend shifts.A walk through the casino-resort construction site shows just how far builders have come since the tribe began site preparations in September 2015. Walk-in applicants are also welcome with a resume in hand. Those interested are encouraged to apply online at: /hiringevent or call 1-877-GO-ilani to schedule an appointment. Team members receive a “comprehensive benefits package” that includes employer-provided meals, free training, tuition reimbursement, and more. The resort celebrates its team members with appreciation days, birthday celebrations, and other events. “Applicants should be energetic, outgoing, and available to work nights, weekends, and holidays,” the press release noted. The restaurants are looking for: servers, bartenders, hosts, food runners/bussers, sous chefs, cooks, and dishwashers.

The hiring event will run from noon to 7 p.m. There is a hiring event on May 11 for food service industry workers for restaurants that are operating now and for a couple that are opening soon. There will be a 14-story hotel in the long-term future at ilani, and the casino is expanding in the short-term, as well.
