🏆 Who's Behind Hawthorne

Robert Parekh has spent more than 20 years in food and beverage, and his resume includes stints with Fontainebleau, The TAP and Trustworthy Brewing, according to a summer report from WhatNow Las Vegas. He is opening Hawthorne with his wife and a couple of close friends. In the opening announcement he said the goal was a place where people feel comfortable dropping in for any occasion.

That matters when you pick where to apply: operators who came up in Strip-level rooms tend to train harder, which helps anyone aiming to move from barback to bartender.

💼 What the Room Will Need

Hawthorne has not published a list of roles, pay rates or a hiring count, and we are not going to make one up. Its Join Our Team page says only that it is taking applications for every position. The contact listed on the site is [email protected].

What we can tell you is what this kind of place runs on. The menu covers charcuterie, flatbreads, a Mediterranean lamb sandwich and fish and chips, so the kitchen needs line and prep cooks plus a dish crew. A cocktail program with drinks built on tomato gin and mezcal needs bartenders who can actually make them, and barbacks to keep them stocked. Twelve or thirteen hours of service a day, plus karaoke, team trivia and live music nights, means servers, hosts and food runners across split shifts, with managers to close at midnight on weekends.

New restaurants also tend to reshuffle staffing in the first couple of months once real traffic shows up. If you miss the opening crew, check back in December.

🗺️ Why Southern Highlands Matters for Job Seekers

Most Las Vegas hospitality hiring news is about the Strip. This is the opposite: a neighborhood room in the southwest valley, close to home for people living in Southern Highlands, Mountain's Edge and the rest of Enterprise. Skipping resort parking and Strip traffic is a real quality-of-life upgrade.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Get your food handler card done first. The Southern Nevada Health District requires food workers to finish its food safety training before they start work. Walking in with the card already in hand puts you ahead of the line.
For bar work, have your alcohol awareness card current. Managers hiring for an opening week want people who can start the next shift.
Lead with nights and weekends. A sports bar that stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays needs closers, and game days fill the room.
