Plaza Las Vegas adds 'Dealertainers' to its live-streamed tables

Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas announced on October 14 that it will add "Dealertainers" on camera in the casino pit streamed live for Vegas Live Casino Network. The property will hold an audition on Friday, October 16, from 16:00 to 18:00 in its smoke-free gaming room at the Main Street dome entrance to select between 20 and 30 dealers who will work daily shifts from 18:00 to 00:00.

Requisites for Dealertainers and selection process

Candidates will be chosen primarily for their personality, according to Plaza Hotel & Casino's statement, but they must meet precise regulatory and technical requirements. All applicants must hold a licence issued by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Additionally, applicants must be capable of dealing at least two of the three games on the pit: blackjack, roulette and baccarat.

The call requires candidates to bring a copy of their résumé, arrive "camera ready" for a recorded audition, and demonstrate social media proficiency. Plaza prefers applicants with active accounts and channels where they post regularly.

Operational details: shifts, conditions and compensation

The posted roles are designed to cover daily shifts from 18:00 to 00:00. Plaza expects to hire between 20 and 30 staff for that window; the press release did not specify contract length or employment duration beyond the shift hours. The property detailed a tipping policy described as different from other Las Vegas casinos: Dealertainers will receive "guaranteed daily tokes (tips)", a structure Plaza called unique among operators in the city.

The audiovisual strategy and the relationship with Vegas Live Casino Network

Plaza emphasises the entertainment component in its streamed gaming offer. Jonathan Jossel, CEO of Plaza Hotel & Casino, said:

"The streaming broadcast of Vegas Live Casino Network already showcases the fun players have at our tables. Now, we are upping the ante on the broadcast by adding dealers who will bring even more excitement to the live experience and the online show with their unique personality, unbridled enthusiasm, and unmatched flair." — Jonathan Jossel, CEO, Plaza Hotel & Casino

The property works with Vegas Live Casino Network for the live broadcasts and, according to the statement, earlier this year Plaza partnered with Vegas Live Casino Network to launch what it described as the first Las Vegas property with a dedicated YouTube channel to air table action. The project aims to turn the streaming pit into an audiovisual product where the dealer’s on-camera presence is a central draw.

Profile sought: dealing skills and social presence

Plaza makes clear that technical ability is combined with on-camera performance. Applicants must be able to deal two of the three required games, ensuring operational flexibility on the pit. At the same time, social media experience and willingness to take part in a recorded audition are valued; the company asks candidates to arrive "camera ready".

The dual requirement targets professionals able to sustain correct game flow and a constant public projection. Plaza did not disclose audience metrics, base pay, or the amount of the guaranteed "tokes".

Implications for the market and live-content operators

Plaza’s initiative shows the convergence of brick-and-mortar casino operations and live digital content production. For properties already streaming tables, adding talent oriented to camera changes both staff management and product offering. For vendors and audiovisual solution providers, the shift could raise demand for equipment and workflows designed for live broadcasts and integration with owned channels.

Plaza did not announce plans to replicate the scheme outside its Main Street pit nor whether the partnership with Vegas Live Casino Network will include additional platforms or business agreements.

Audition notice: location, date and materials requested

The audition will be held on October 16 from 16:00 to 18:00 in the smoke-free gaming room at the Main Street dome entrance of Plaza Hotel & Casino. Interested candidates must bring a résumé and present themselves ready to be recorded. Plaza also requests that aspirants be active social media users with channels or accounts where they post frequently.
