Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You\'ll work the C Street boardwalk greeting tourists with infectious enthusiasm, handing out candy samples (root beer barrels for adults, lollipops for kids), and inviting people inside with humor, stories, and genuine warmth.

  • You LOVE engaging strangers and get energized by constant social interaction
  • You have theater, improv, tour guide, theme park, or character performer experience
  • You're comfortable working outdoors in Nevada summer heat
  • You're a team player who can coordinate with your counterpart without drama
  • You're looking for a SEASONAL commitment (spring-fall), not just a summer gig

Preferred

  • Optional: Period costume (Old West attire - we'll provide budget if you're into it)

Benefits

  • Costume budget
  • Consistent seasonal work through fall (not just a 6-week summer job)
