Guess who's on this year's appointments committee at Boyd?

And I wanted to let everyone take a gander at our ad. Please consider applying. I really am enjoying my life here at Boyd, and Las Vegas is a very livable city (if you can ignore the oppressive summer heat--I hear, BTW, that the city is paradise as soon as summer's over).
