Although not many Americans are traveling these days, many are looking for jobs. There is good news for those in Nevada, as a number of hotels slated to open in the near future are expected to create many new Las Vegas jobs.

Due to the current economic slowdown, many Americans are staying at home and saving their money. However, the weakness of the American dollar is sending plenty of foreign tourists to popular cities, especially Las Vegas. Because the casino industry is still managing to maintain itself, the city is planning to open several new hotels and resort casinos, which will in turn create many new jobs.

Much of the money for these new establishments is coming from Dubai World, a company that has a lot invested in Las Vegas. The company is currently raising money for CityCenter, and may later acquire more shares of MGM, Mirage and other large companies.

Among the new hotels and casino resorts to open and expand, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, include:
the 202 room Aliente Station to employ 1,000 workers
the 6,347 room CityCenter to employ 15,000 employees
the 2,998 room Cosmopolitan to employ more than 4,000 workers
the 4,910 room Echelon to employ 10,000 workers
the 3,810 room Fontainbleau to employ 7,500 workers
the Golden Nugget expansion to employ 500 workers
the Hard Rock expansion adding 950 rooms and 1,900 employees
the 390 room M Resort to employ 2,000 people
the 665 room Octavius Tower at Caesars Palace to employ more than 1,000 workers
the 4,100 room Plaza Las Vegas to employ more than 8,000 workers
the 2,034 room Wynn Las Vegas to employ 5,300 workers

According to research from Applied Analysis, the creation of each Las Vegas hotel room creates about two jobs. When other economic factors of resort building are taken into consideration, each room constructed can account for about seven jobs.
