Position & Client Overview:

One of the largest chain reference labs in the nation is seeking multiple histotechnicians and histotechnologists to be a part of their well established team in Las Vegas. These are third shift permanent positions working Tuesday through Saturday.

Your Las Vegas experience will likely revolve around the iconic neon lights and famous sights along the Strip. This is where Lady Luck will make or break or make your bank account, but there are other diversions attached to the casinos: ride a gondola at The Venetian, see views atop the Eiffel Tower at Paris, Las Vegas or enjoy the renowned fountain show at the Bellagio. If you can part with the glitz and glam of Las Vegas Boulevard, you'll find the rest of the city has plenty to offer. Taste your way through the city on a food tour, check out the Fremont Street Experience's light show, enjoy a history lesson at the Mob Museum or the Neon Museum, or stretch your legs at Red Rock Canyon. And if you have the time, plan a quick road trip to the Hoover Dam, which can also be accessed via helicopter tour or a bus tour. There is always something to do in Vegas. Excitement is at your fingertips.
