I know a guy who used to do bartending on the strip many years back, but he
said that his son had to join to union to get a foot in the door. But
according to my friend, he said he had to move up from barbacking to
bartending...and it took him about 7 months. But his son joined the union,
made up some references, and was able to get in on super slow shifts...but hey
that's a start.
