Live! Casino Pittsburgh job fair slated for this weekend

A job fair is being held this weekend for open positions at the soon-to-be casino at Westmoreland Mall.

The event is set for 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the mall facing Route 30 near Applebee’s. Available positions include managers, cooks, servers, bussers, hosts and more for two restaurants at the casino — Guy Fieri’s American Kitchen + Bar and Sports & Social Steel City.

Guy Fieri is an Emmy-award winning chef, restaurateur, New York Times best-selling author and television personality. His restaurant, known for such fare as Trash Can Nachos, and Sports & Social Steel City will be on the second floor of the facility under construction at the former Bon-Ton department store.

The 445-seat restaurant and bar space includes a 45-foot television screen that can be viewed from a sports betting space downstairs. The restaurant will include games such as bowling, Skee-Ball, a golf simulator, darts, basketball hoops, ping pong tables and shuffleboard.

The 100,000-square-foot casino, dubbed Live! Casino Pittsburgh, is owned by The Cordish Companies of Maryland. The $150 million venue is slated to open before Thanksgiving with 750 slot machines and 30 table games.

Casino officials have been hiring over the past several months through their website, workatlive.com, and through a recruitment center that opened in August in the Sears wing of the mall. There, job seekers can meet with casino representatives who can answer questions and provide additional information about the more than 500 available positions.

Saturday’s event will feature Tall Cathy from KISS 96.1 FM along with DJ A.J.Fresh, according to the Westmoreland Mall website.
