New casino in Louisville held job fair | Local [Video]

LOUISVILLE, Miss. (WTVA) — The new casino in Louisville is working to fill its employee roster.

The Crystal Sky hosted a job fair on Friday, Nov. 15, almost a month before it opens to the public.

The casino and travel center houses 150 slot machines, a sportsbook lounge, a restaurant, shops and fueling stations.

“We’ve had an overwhelming response today,” Director of Public Relations Erica Moore said. “We are so pleased with the people who have come out and want to be a part of this venture with us. There’s been about over 100 candidates come out today.”

The center is under the umbrella of the Pearl River Resort, owned and operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
