Who says no one is hiring in Las Vegas?
The advertising agency R&R Partners, which recently signed a new three-year deal worth more than $250 million to advertise the destination on behalf of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, is definitely looking for help.
Applicants just need to provide their bra size and a picture of themselves in a bikini.
An ad on the online classified service Craigslist is seeking women to participate in what's billed as the world's largest bikini parade, down Las Vegas Boulevard.
According to the ad, R&R Partners will pay as many as 300 women $100 and give them a new bikini to participate in the event, which is scheduled for Thursday, May 14.
The parade, which organizers hope will be recognized by Guinness World Records, is sponsored by the tourism agency and will be led by former Criss Angel girlfriend and model Holly Madison.
A representative from the LVCVA didn't respond to verify the legitimacy of the ad. But there's no question the event is on schedule for tomorrow.
For some reason, the ad puts irony quotes around the word "parade." Hopefully that won't disqualify the event from achieving official recognition by Guinness.
