Casino Del Sol Hiring Events August 13 and 27: Walk In and Get Hired in Tucson
Published: August 12, 2026 | By TucsonHIRED Team
TUCSON, AZ — Casino Del Sol is opening its doors to job seekers twice this month, and both events are walk-in. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe's gaming enterprise has two "Meet, Greet and Get Hired" recruiting sessions on the calendar: Thursday, August 13 at the Richey Resource Center in Old Pascua, and Thursday, August 27 at Casino of the Sun on the southwest side.
Two dates, two sides of town, and a shot at one of Tucson's largest hospitality employers.

Why the Old Pascua date matters
The August 13 session sits at 2209 N. 15th Ave., in the former Richey Elementary School building. The Tribe leases the property and has turned it into the Richey Resource Center, a community hub for Old Pascua that has hosted wellness classes, youth programs, GED instruction and a volunteer-built neighborhood library.
Holding a hiring event there is a deliberate choice. Old Pascua is the same neighborhood where Vahi Taa'am, the Tribe's third casino, is set to open November 15 just off West Grant Road at Interstate 10. If you live anywhere along the Grant, Oracle or Speedway corridors, this is a recruiting table you can reach on a lunch break.
The August 27 session moves southwest to the Sunset Room at Casino of the Sun, the Tribe's original casino and the property where the whole enterprise started as a bingo hall back in 1982. Afternoon hours there make it workable if you're currently on a morning shift somewhere else.
🔥 What Casino Del Sol staffs
Casino Del Sol has not published a role-by-role list for these two sessions, so treat this as a map of where the enterprise hires rather than a confirmed opening count. The operation runs roughly 1,300 team members across two casinos, about ten restaurants, eight bars and lounges, a hotel and the Estrella tower, a spa, a conference center, Sewailo Golf Club, the AVA Amphitheater and an RV park. It runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. That produces steady demand across:
- Table games dealers and gaming floor staff
- Cooks, prep cooks and kitchen team members
- Servers, bartenders and beverage staff
- Housekeeping, porters and facilities
- Security officers and surveillance
- Guest services, cage cashiers and players club
- Warehouse, inventory and back-of-house support
On benefits, the enterprise lists medical, dental and vision coverage, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, a 401k retirement plan and paid time off. Pay varies by department and shift, so ask directly at the table rather than relying on aggregator averages.
What to know before you go
A few things are worth reading twice on this one.
Screening is part of the process. Applicants must clear a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening and a background investigation. That is standard for tribal gaming, where most positions require a gaming license, and it is not a formality. Go in expecting it.
Tribal preference applies. Casino Del Sol is an enterprise of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, and enrolled Pascua Yaqui tribal preference is applied in hiring. Preference means enrolled members receive priority consideration in the order of hiring. It does not mean other applicants are excluded, and the flyer places no restriction on who can attend either session.
Dress the part. Business casual is stated on the flyer. For a hospitality employer, presentation is part of the evaluation from the moment you walk in.
Bring paper. No pre-registration step is listed, so plan on walking in during the posted hours. Bring several printed resumes, a photo ID, and your availability written down. Recruiters at walk-in events move fast, and the candidate who can answer "which shifts can you work" without hesitating is the one who gets moved forward.
What it means for Tucson job seekers
Timing is the interesting part. Casino Del Sol's newest property opens November 15 with roughly 500 positions attached, and large hospitality operators typically build out their floor and food-and-beverage teams in the two to three months ahead of a launch. These August sessions land squarely in that window. The flyer does not specify which property the openings are tied to, so ask at the table which locations are hiring, but the calendar lines up in a way that is hard to ignore.
Even setting Vahi Taa'am aside, this is one of the largest private employers on Tucson's west side recruiting in person, twice, in a single month. If you have restaurant, hotel, retail or customer service experience, you already have transferable skills. If you don't, gaming and hospitality remain two of the more accessible entry points into steady, benefits-eligible work in this city.

Do I need to register in advance?

What should I bring and wear?
Business casual attire, several printed copies of your resume, a photo ID and your written availability.
Is there a background check?
Yes. Applicants must successfully pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening and a background investigation.
What does Pascua Yaqui tribal preference mean?
Casino Del Sol is an enterprise of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, and enrolled tribal members receive priority consideration in the hiring order. Other applicants may still apply and attend.
Are these events connected to the new Vahi Taa'am casino?
The flyer does not say. Vahi Taa'am opens November 15 with about 500 positions, and the timing fits a typical pre-opening hiring ramp, so it is worth asking recruiters directly which properties are staffing.
Two Thursdays, two sides of town, and no application portal standing between you and a hiring manager. In this market, that's worth the drive.
