Go to Community College of Southern Nevada. I've heard they will give you the most effective learning environment and is probably better structured than any other dealing school you will find. Once you get past the El Cortez phase of your career, it "might" set you apart from other applicants. Of course if you just cant deal worth a damn during and audition, it doesn't matter where you went to school.

Don't expect to earn much at your fist gig, you'll be lucky if you break $20 a day in tokes. O'Shea's will take break-ins right from school as well as slots-a-fun. There's the good old El Cortez, Western and Jokers Wild for break in gigs. If you have a room mate or other living arrangement where you don't have to support the brunt of the household expenses you will do okay financially. Try to get into a place like Bill's, Gold Coast, The Cannery or some of the Stations for a second gig. expect to spend at least 3 months dealing in some dump break in joint though first. After that expect to spend the next 1-3 years perfecting your skills and learning any game that will make you a more desirable applicant to a nice club. One way to work your way into a high end ouse is to stay with the same company and apply internally for the better clubs. For instance, you break in at O'shea's for 6 months to a year and move to Flamingo. You can stay there and make decent money and try to move to Caesars from there.

Start by learning your core games. 21, Craps and Roulette. Once you get a gig, they will teach you the carnies. After you get a gig where you can make at least "okay" money ($80-$100 per day) you can start learning games like Baccarat and Pai Gow Tiles. Putting as many games as you can on your resume will set you apart from others.

Don't rush to get to the big time. Focus on learning to be the best before you are expected to be the best. I would say that it takes about 5 years before anyone will believe that you could be a good all around dealer. Don't just learn to be good technically, learn to take pride in what your do and be a professional. Don't just stand there and be a card snapper, learn to look up and make eye contact with the players, talk to them, joke with them and entertain them. Don't let it be just a job, take pride in what you do. You will experience burn out. Durring this phase, you will hate everyone that comes to your table. You will want to do nothing but stand at a dead game all night. This is normal, and knowing that it's normal will be a big advantage for you. Eventually, you will wake up one day and tell yourself, "self, I'm just not going to let myself have a bad day." You will realize that no one else but you can make you feel anything. The bad players will blend in with the great players, you will take it all in stride. You will be able to fall asleep at night not dreading going to work the next day. Burn out is normal, I would venture to say that everyone goes through it at some point as a dealer.

This is just my opinion, feel free to take it with a grain of salt. Others may have more advice that may be better suited for you.
