Interesting this article says that AkChin was recognized as the best place to work 4 years in a row while next door at the AkChin Circle the Luxe Lounge is still closed.
When you ask the staff at the AkChin Circle why the Luxe Lounge is closed they say they cannot find enough staff that will work. But this is the best place to work 4 years in a row?
Perhaps the management team is different between the casino and the AkChin Circle.
So many new businesses are coming which would not be the case if there was staffing issues.
What is the real reason the Luxe is not open, I would like to see an article about that 🙂
