I Survived Spring Break Working Hotel Security

I can say with certainty that the most exciting job in the hotel industry during spring break is hotel security. I was a security officer for the Sands Casino and Hotel in Reno, and I loved it. I was also one of the few female officers working the swing shift, which is often when things really got to rocking. Although I was over 50 years of age, I looked much younger, was tall and a redhead, which gave me an image of control. And I was usually able to stop trouble before it started -- usually.
