I would first become very familiar with these two (rather large) documents...

Another good source for info is casinodealers.net, go to the "about dealing poker" section.
poker dealers are in very high demand here and if you go to school it shouldn't be too big a deal getting a job, except that it's a bitch to apply at most places here, you gotta do it online first, then verify your mom's maiden name and grandma's bra size etc etc. They'll probably CHECK where you went to KINDERGARTEN so don't lie on the application and make sure the phone numbers are correct, because they're almost certainly GOING to call, particularly on the strip.
