Jobs in Vegas: Have Your Cake and Eat It Too
Who wouldn’t want to live in the Entertainment Capital of the World, the City of Lights, the City that Never Sleeps, the City of Second Chances? If you live in Las Vegas, it doesn’t matter if you get permanently stuck with weekend shifts because every day in Las Vegas is like a Saturday. You can party, gamble, see shows, or relax at a spa any day of the week.
Sounds pretty good, right? However, you are probably wondering if moving to Las Vegas is a responsible decision, if there are good healthcare jobs, and if you’ll be able to make enough money. Don’t worry; we’ll break it down for you. Read on to see what your life would be like if you lived in Las Vegas.
Let’s Talk Money
The potential salary we can earn is always one of the most important considerations – if not the most important one – when we are deciding where to live and what type of work to do. Therefore, before we talk about the fun stuff, like nightlife and other entertainment, let’s talk about this essential consideration: money.
What's the Average RN Salary in Las Vegas?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (updated in September 2021), the average annual salary for Registered Nurses (RNs) nationwide is $75,330, whereas in the state of Nevada the average annual salary for RNs falls into the highest-paid category for RNs, which is $80,960-$120,560. Another interesting tidbit about Nevada is that, unlike that of many other states, Nevada’s average annual salary for RNs is the same throughout the state. This means that you can have your cake and eat it too; in other words, you can make one of the highest possible salaries for RNs in the US while you simultaneously live in the city with the best nightlife in the whole country – aka Vegas.
What's the Average LPN Salary in Las Vegas?
In the case of Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), the average annual salary nationwide is $48,820, whereas – once again – the average annual wage of LPNs in Nevada falls into the highest-paid category in the $54,580-$67,620 range. Furthermore, as is the case with RN salaries in Nevada, LPNs throughout the state can aspire to earn this highest-tier wage. Vegas, here I come!
What's the Average CNA Salary in Las Vegas?
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) can also expect to earn more in Las Vegas than in most other parts of the country since the average salary range for CNAs in Nevada is $31,720-$34,280 whereas the average national salary for this job is $30,830 per year.
Cost of Living
Clearly, Las Vegas is a good place to make money as a nurse, but is the cost of living in the Entertainment Capital of the World too high? Will you end up scrambling to make ends meet even with a good salary? No! Not at all. A study by Unitek College found that the cost of living in Las Vegas is actually lower than the national average – 6% cheaper than the average of all the cities in the study. For one thing, Nevada has zero state income tax. Furthermore, homeowners in Las Vegas pay 10% less than the national average in utilities.
Are There Jobs for Nurses in Las Vegas?
Is this all sounding too good to be true? We’re not done yet. Although the U.S. Labor Bureau estimates that the nursing field will grow 9% between 2020 and 2030 nationwide, the growth of RN jobs in Nevada is estimated to be 41% by 2030! Now, we must take this information with a grain of salt because although the growth of the nursing field in Nevada is promising, by 2030 supply will exceed demand. Therefore, start packing and settle in Las Vegas before the job rush begins.
Now the Fun Part
The beauty of Vegas is that it has something for everyone. Not into casinos? How about luxury spas, gourmet restaurants, and high-end shopping? Lounge poolside at The Venetian Resort or choose from more than 150 extraordinary services at Canyon Ranch, one of the world’s largest spas. Then go for dinner to one of Vegas’s hottest new restaurants according to Eater Las Vegas. Seafood fans should hit up Chickie’s & Pete’s for lobster pie; visit La Cocina Exclusivo for some gourmet Mexican food; or reserve a table at Carversteak and order the wagyu.
Maybe you’re more of an outdoorsy type or you’re looking for family-friendly activities; Las Vegas has exactly what you need too. Consider hiking in Red Rock Canyon or taking a helicopter tour of Hoover Dam. In addition, whether you have little ones or not, don’t miss a Cirque du Soleil performance and – even if you don’t gamble – make sure you visit the Bellagio to watch the water-and-light fountain display.
How to Find Per Diem Jobs?
By now, you’re probably getting ready to book a flight to Vegas, but something might still be holding you back. What if you don’t want to commit to a full-time job?

Even if you’re not into the gambling and sparkly-nightlife scene, Las Vegas is still such a fun city to live in. There is something for everyone in the City of Lights, nestled in the state of Nevada. For family-friendly entertainment, take your kids to some of the awesome places Vegas has to offer, such as Adventuredome Theme Park, the aquarium, or Cowabunga Canyon. If you love the great outdoors, you can explore the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and the Mojave Desert – to mention a few of the natural wonders surrounding Vegas. For others who don’t fit any of the mentioned categories, there is also a variety of cultural activities, entertainment, shopping, and fine dining to enjoy. As we said, Vegas has something for everyone.
Of course, Vegas is known for being the Entertainment Capital of the World, but any city needs healthcare, and that is where you come in. There’s more than one reason why Vegas is known as the City that Never Sleeps: Nurses in Vegas work around the clock taking care of the residents and tourists in one of the most populous cities in the country. Let’s talk some more about what it means to be a registered nurse (RN) in Las Vegas and how to find the best jobs the city has to offer.
How Much Does an RN in Las Vegas Make?
RNs in Vegas make some good money – the average RN salary in Vegas is even higher than registered nurse pay in Nevada, which in turn is significantly higher than the national average.
- National average salary for RNs: $82,750
- Average salary for RNs in Nevada: $88,800
- Average salary for RNs in Las Vegas: $90,230
Not only are salaries higher for RNs in Vegas, but per capita personal consumption expenditures (PCE) in Nevada are also lower than the national average, which means that nurses’ fat pay checks go even farther in this state than they would in other parts of the country.
- National average PCE: $42,635
- Average PCE in Nevada: $39,211
Work Less and Enjoy Life More
There is so much to do and see in Las Vegas: museums, music festivals, pool parties, spas, sports events, fine dining, the breathtaking outdoors – the list goes on and on. The question is do you have the time to truly enjoy living in Vegas?
One way to enjoy the perks of living in Las Vegas is to find RN jobs that pay even more than your staff position does so that you can take more time off to soak in Sin City. This might sound like a dream, but finding higher-paying, more flexible jobs is possible with PRN work. When you work PRN, you can pick up a few of the highest-paying temporary jobs available and then take a few days off – or a whole week – to live life to the fullest.
Here are some ideas of how to enjoy your days off in Vegas:
- Lounge all day at a spa
- Take a raft tour near Hoover Dam
- Enjoy a cruise on Lake Mead
- Go on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon
- Catch a Cirque du Soleil show
- Take the kids to the Children’s Museum – or go without the kids to the Erotic Heritage Museum
- Go out with friends for some “vibe dining”
