It’s insane to me how many have worked there for 20+ years, that’s how you know they treat their workers well. Socorro looks amazing for 24 years, I was shocked at how youthful she still looks. Great video.

[@PewPew702]

Union. Top pay for the position, no cost medical/dental/vision benefits, tons of other benefits and a pension.

[@Celana1]

One of them was for 45 years

[@Ozzy.Bricks]

Yup all Caesar’s entertainment cooks are local 227 union, current wage is $27 with full health benefits and pensions ect

[@joeche7461]

I worked at my first job for 5 years and 1 month before quitting in 2009. Many of my colleagues are still working there today. Sometimes I admire them for their commitment, and sometimes I don't.

[@GnomesRox]

Haha for the prices they charge, I would hope so!

[@NeonKue]

Multiple 20+ year restaurant employees is how you know you have assembled a great efficient team who enjoys working there. As a restaurant manager of my family restaurant, it’s hard to come by these days.

[@taynguyener]

Wow someone at Caesar's for 45 years is kind of incredible! (And she still looks so young!)

[@DrSloth78]

when she started, she was working for Caesar himself

[@johndang8971]

It's a shame that she still can't retire

[@marknoble5386]

Amazing representation of the people we take for granted.

Can't have food without dishes. I did that for 15+ years, it was hard but worth it.

You keep the show running!

All praise dishpit!

[@CappuccinoPapi]

A great dishwasher is the foundation of a great kitchen!

[@NeonKue]

An under appreciated role in the kitchen but it builds character.

[@bd8494]

I’ve worked in restaurants FOH and BOH for almost 10 years and I still firmly say this dishwasher is the most important role in the building.

[@Hieillua]

This should be a series

[@ettajfan5882]

I second this!

[@vr0k3n]

they've done a couple videos like this one in other restaurants

[@user-vt4vt4iq1p]

I’m pretty sure it is

[@Nomis1317]

Thankyou Bon Appetit for showing the real stars of hospitality and food.

[@promentheusmaximusgearzone7787]

Keeping the restaurant clean and tiny is already an enormous amount of effort, keeping the people there for a long time with dignity and respect takes so much humbleness and energy.

[@acidbronson9712]

I enjoyed how personal this felt. I thought it was going to be more of a description of each job by a narrator but this was way better. Thanks BA!

[@maud375]

Thank you, BA. It was very interesting. Beautiful people. Denise is such a mom 😄

[@MrMatheusZanella]

This is one of the most fantastic videos you’ve produced. The amount of colors on it, it’s mind blowing. Colored hands make the food people eats

[@LucasTOrz]

Everyone seems happy with their job lovely to see all those smiles.

[@wilsonshin5581]

I've worked in the restaurant my entire life and I am always amazed at seeing the size of this operation.

[@cornbeef]

I'm sure these guys have bad days and sometimes can't wait for the shift to end, but if you've got families working there, some people for 20+ years, it' can't be a bad job and can't be badly paid.

[@Debba521]

I wasn't going to watch this, reflecting a long held low opinion of Vegas buffets. Apparently a lot has changed in the 20 or so years since I was last there! That food is pretty impressive and much more diverse. And for so many staff to have worked there for two decades or more, is even more impressive. I really REALLY wanna try that buffet!

[@paulorr4896]

I was thinking that's probably a pricey buffet and I wasn't far wrong. 50 to 100 dollars per person. Woof! I'd still do it though. 😀

[@jrivelis]

Heartwarming

[@adityaprakasa3554]

That moment, when Robert Ortiz sounds like Liam Neeson . . . .I'm gonna make the dessert today, everybody must eat, your time is 3 second before the building is exploded

There’s one bar tender for a place that does 1200+ covers a night? Those people must move! Even if people aren’t drinking that hard that is insane.

only one over 1200 covers no sence
