hey jacob; i just finished the tam, and food safety card tests. i guess the system changed a bit. now the agencies won't allow you to just take the tests on line, you have to go into the agencies like the health district and tam want you to show up and retake their tests, pass, and THEN, get the cards from them. granted , yes you have taken the extra steps to get the job(s), but this way in the eyes of these agencies/districts, they are eliminating the "out-of-state" riff-raff...just figured i'd pass on the info to everyone interested...good videos, keep up the good work.
Great advice! I agree that getting the TAM and Health cards are important. They're not hard tests to pass, especially the TAM card in my opinion. Can have both in just a few days :)
Thanks I just moved to Vegas (finally) and I transferred with my job but I want a temporary 2nd job and I was going to ask you about these cards. Thank you Jacob!! 🤗
Alexis Corley do you have to take to 2 exams for tam card,he said you can take the online course & exam at the end.I looked it up on youtube they say u have to take another exam in front of a certified instructor.
Hey Jacob. Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos. Coming from Virginia, this is all new to me. Been here 4 months and landed a sweet gig. Loving it every day. Thank you for your insight.
Jacob I listened to your video before I came to Vegas and I had a great experience living there for the year and a half. Unfortunately my dad got sick and I moved back to help him out. But I went out there with 4500 dollars and I lucked up and got a job at the White Castle my first week out there and I got a second job at Target. I didn't have any real hardships. But I want to thank you for the great advice God bless you bro
This is great. My daughter and I were discussing what she'd need to work in LV. She's in the restaurant business here in NYC and has the N.Y. equivalent of the same cards. She took those same tests in NYC. Thank you so much. We were not sure what identification she'd need in Las Vegas and how to get it.
They've recently changed how the Food Handler Card works, now they provide the study materials for free and you have to come in person to take the test at the location now. Thanks for the very informative video, I just received my Sheriffs card yesterday...I finally can work!
Thank you sooo much Jacob! You have gave one of the best advice ANYONE in Vegas has gave me! I wish I watched this video 2 months ago, I've been jobless since I have moved here. I have lived in the bay area before I moved here and I typically find a job(s) quickly. I find that people don't like to give out information of the tricks of the trade. After going on countless interviews I noticed you reallllly got to know someone in order to get certain jobs. I know for sure this will help me find a job. Thanks again and once I get a job, I will update you guys.
Jacob, you're the best ever (and the cutest..still😋) I did NOT know about this whole work card thing til now. I've been planning on moving to Vegas (from Houston Tx) for a while now. I hope to arrive this summer, or sometime before years end. This info is absolute gold.
Got a plan to moving there around in las Vegas,nevada from California also I m looking forward and good life there..thank you share a information about this issues
I wish I had known about these cards a year ago before I moved here. You can take the test for the Food card online, but you have to go downtown to take the test for the TAM card in person after taking the course online. I did that a couple weeks ago. I needed the TAM card for a job at the movie theater. Who knew liqour was sold at movie theaters in Nevada? And you can end up putting down as much as $ 200.00 for a Sheriff's Card.
I bet they have slot machines at the theatre, just like at the airports, grocery stores, convenient stores, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some on the NVLV campus as well.
For those who work in the security business, they need a guard card which is renewed every five years. Even in the Taxi business, one needs to have some type of card too. Nevada has no state tax. However, the state puts in all of these stupid fees for almost everything. This is how the state makes its monies.
Jacob, LVScooter1 is referring to the PILB work card, commonly known as a Guard Card (California has a similar card as well). This card is required is someone wants to work for a company like Securitas, AlliedUniversal, G4S, or any security company in Nevada. I would also recommend that Nightlife Security Officers/Bouncers/Doorman get the same card. If you are called into court to testify about an incident, you can almost guarantee that the lawyer that you are facing will have a copy of that Nevada state law governing Security officers.
I've done some already, but to cover this entire area with a video on each suburb could take a looooooong time! Fortunately, it gives me plenty of content to create in the future
NV is such a Libertarian State. I find it quite strange that NV requires these ridiculous Govt cards in order to work. Something tells me that its all about the $$$. Very informative video.
These are great, informative videos, thank you Jacob , I'm moving out here the week after Thanksgiving in 2019. Had no idea about the TAM card and food handlers card.... Don't need any of those here in Florida , lol
THIS!!!! Is the $hit i am talkin about. This is the Best video you like ever did Jacob!!! This is the most confusing part of trying to move to Vegas or go school here or just to have working Vacation. Thanks 4 this 1 dawg
This place looks exactly like where my Brother and sister-in-law lived in Henderson in the early 2000s although I don't know how many housing communities in Henderson have this exact type of ranch homes and how many communities there are.
Nice useful info. I'm hunting for warehousing/manufacturing positions but if or when I decide to officially move I may get the TAM/Food Handler cards just in case.
I'm having trouble going on your website. But I'm moving to Vegas within the next couple of weeks and I need a heads up at finding an sor or some really inexpensive place to live
Hi Jacob, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I do have a question. I am currently a CA resident planning on moving to Nevada; particularly Boulder City. I already have my AA in Liberal Arts with an Emphasis in Kinesology and I am also getting a certificate in Physical Therapy Aid in the beginning of December. With my degree, certificate, and "proof of experience" hours, will I have an easier time getting a job at a local clinic or hospital? I know it all depends on the obvious "if they are hiring", but would you say it will be easier to get a job in Nevada than in California? Thanks again so much Jacob, you got a new sub!!!
Hi Jacob, I live in Las Vegas also, and I came from California as so many in Vegas did. I always thought you were a realtor here in Vegas. Love your videos thank you Christian
You are right about companies being strict with those cards. I had a random conversation with a guy doing ID checks outside of an outdoor drinking venue and I asked him about the hanging checklist behind him. He told me that all places need to have a visible list (or readily available list) of all staff on duty and the relevant cards they hold. If not, and the inspector pops in for a visit, $1k fine per person not listed. With a penalty like that hanging over their heads, you can't blame them for being strict. But I always ask... with all these TAM cards around, why do those "dirty dining" stories appear so often. 😂😂😂
Have you ever thought about making a video about all the reasons Las Vegas is not California and different in so many ways and then tell about all those ways?
Hi Jacob! Thanks for all the great work you do! that's really helpful. I'd like to know if I can already take the TAM exam for exemple, eventhough I'm not already in the USA, and don't have a SSN? (I will move to Henderson at the end of this year) thanks.
I'm hoping to move to Vegas fairly soon, I do drywall / painting and work for myself. See any reason for me to need any kind of card? Thx Jacob... been watching your vids for quite some time now. 😉
Can you make a video of how the public transportation works. I've heard is bad, bus routes are only for tourists since they only take you to hotels. I've read that the ubber is what is working now for transportation. But i don't know what to believe. Thank you!
I'm staying at the MGM Grand next week, thinking about getting a 2 day monorail pass, is it worth it? Only hotels I really wanna check out our the Venetian, Bellagio, and Ceasers palace. Is the monorail a good way of traveling around the strip. Thanks to anyone who replies
I would just take an uber to Venetian, as well as the other two. Caesars and Bellagio are just across the street from each other (and on the other side of the strip from where the monorail is), so you can see one right after the other
Hey Jacob, thanks for all your helpful tips for important stuff in Vegas. I've been here 5 years and still learn a lot from you... wanted to update people on the FOOD HANDLER card. As of July 1st 2018, one can no longer do the test online. You have to go to one of the locations. Also.. what's your take on getting the FOOD MANAGER SAFETY CARD certification? I'm sure it looks better on resumes, and it costs about the same. Also, you don't have to get the TRAINING card first. Sure, the exam is harder and longer, but if it looks a lot better to employers, then maybe it's worth it. Thoughts? Maybe someone has a friend who has experience with this.
That was really good information Jacob. Thanks very much for taking the time to make a video about it. What about a gaming card for the casino industry, is it just about the same procedure? Great channel man, keep up the good work.
I will be looking to move to the Vegas/Henderson area, hopefully soon. But I have no way of knowing when until my current house sells. I will be looking for work in the IT field, would I need these cards for the tech field, or would it depend on the company?
Hey brother question never worked in a casino before got my health card today I got my Sheriff's card says non-gaming what does that mean I'm working in a casino why does it say non-gaming do you know😅 thanks pal
I currently live in Chicago IL, I work in IT (Information Technology) as a Network Administrator and my wife is a Nurse, how hard is it to find jobs for us in Las Vegas? We really want to live there, thanks.
I do security work here in los angeles. I wanna find a casino security job over there. The sheriff card info be good. Any other i need to work as a security guard? Or just the sheriff card?
Jacob, as always thanks for this bit of information. Completely new to me. Will a TAM/Health Food card be required for companies like UberEats, Grubhub or Postmates? It's food delivery services. I won't be preparing foods.
Jacob, u 4got 2 more cards!.." if u work n construction u need your (OSHA 10-hour).. "&! (OSHA 30-hour) card to work in construction.. in Las Vegas Nevada.."good vid Jacob!
We do extensive background through Metro and you need a sheriff's card for any industry work, so if you have a background issue that will be a problem. We are not a felon friendly city FYI.
Just FYI, TAM card requires you to take multiple choice test IN-PERSON before you can get your physical card :)
hey jacob; i just finished the tam, and food safety card tests. i guess the system changed a bit. now the agencies won't allow you to just take the tests on line, you have to go into the agencies like the health district and tam want you to show up and retake their tests, pass, and THEN, get the cards from them. granted , yes you have taken the extra steps to get the job(s), but this way in the eyes of these agencies/districts, they are eliminating the "out-of-state" riff-raff...just figured i'd pass on the info to everyone interested...good videos, keep up the good work.
Great advice! I agree that getting the TAM and Health cards are important. They're not hard tests to pass, especially the TAM card in my opinion. Can have both in just a few days :)
Yes you can! That's I did the first time around
@_jonathanjulian When I did it, you had to get it through SNHD. You could take it online before, but I guess you have to do it in person now.
Thanks I just moved to Vegas (finally) and I transferred with my job but I want a temporary 2nd job and I was going to ask you about these cards. Thank you Jacob!! 🤗
You're welcome Alexis! Glad to you made it to Vegas...Welcome!
Alexis Corley congrats how us life so far

Great info!! I'm planning on moving to Vegas sometime next year, I'm a certified nursing assistant this really helps.
Thank you sooo much Jacob! You have gave one of the best advice ANYONE in Vegas has gave me! I wish I watched this video 2 months ago, I've been jobless since I have moved here.

Thanks again and once I get a job, I will update you guys.
If it were me, I would get both the TAM and the Food Handler Card, just to have them. I plan on taking both courses on-line in the very near future.
+Northeastbaseball That's a very good idea
Man you are such a God sent. May God bless you and all of your endeavors.
Thank you Latoya!
Man I absolutely love that little Toyota pick up behind you on your left
You got good advice. Thanks Jacob.
You're welcome Shakah!
Jacob, you're the best ever (and the cutest..still😋) I did NOT know about this whole work card thing til now. I've been planning on moving to Vegas (from Houston Tx) for a while now. I hope to arrive this summer, or sometime before years end. This info is absolute gold.
LOL, Thanks. I knew this would be an important one for a lot of people
G T I am NOT Chucky, I'm a Good Guy Doll!
JacobslifeinVegas Hey Jacob, How much do you have to pay for the sheriff card?
Master Superblaster strongly agreed so am I moving before the year change
I decided to move to Vegas in the beginning of next year and your videos really help me to prepare myself. Thanks, Jacob!
Got a plan to moving there around in las Vegas,nevada from California also I m looking forward and good life there..thank you share a information about this issues

I needed the TAM card for a job at the movie theater. Who knew liqour was sold at movie theaters in Nevada?
And you can end up putting down as much as $ 200.00 for a Sheriff's Card.
Interesting. I wasn't required to take any exam in person. I did take one in person the first time, but I renewed both cards online last time.
All these regulations in LV... no wonder LV is going down hill more and more.
I bet they have slot machines at the theatre, just like at the airports, grocery stores, convenient stores, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some on the NVLV campus as well.
Awesome advice! I plan on moving to Vegas soon, can't wait!
Thanks Charlie!
I'm planning to move to Vegas. And i did knew this but i was looking for the actual links to get the cards online. Thank you!!!!!
You're welcome!

That's what I was thinking. I've never heard of it being required in nightlife security
Can you make some videos on each suburb on Las Vegas? Maybe some pros and cons? Thank you for the videos mate!! Cheers from Scotland 👍🏼
I've done some already, but to cover this entire area with a video on each suburb could take a looooooong time! Fortunately, it gives me plenty of content to create in the future
JacobslifeinVegas awesome... I look forward to great videos in the future!
Thank you Jacob! Moving to Henderson in a month and this is all great to know!! You're the man 😀
You're welcome Janae!
Janae Hahn cool I just moved to Henderson from Atlanta GA it's beautiful out here.
Door dash do you need the Tam to delivery food ? That’s what I do now here in Atlanta. That where we moving from to Vegas in March
Thank you Jacob! You're very informational, and I appreciate you sir. I don't know if I'll be there by the end of the summer or the end of the year.
You're welcome Charlie! Either way, Vegas will still be here ready for you!
Great information. I've been here since mid November. Haven't had much luck. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!

Nice useful info. I'm hunting for warehousing/manufacturing positions but if or when I decide to officially move I may get the TAM/Food Handler cards just in case.
Nice. Not a bad idea at all.
Wow, I have never lived where you had to get these kinds of cards.
It's a foreign concept to a lot of people, which is why I felt the video would be helpful. I'm glad it cleared things up fi6r you 😊
I'm having trouble going on your website. But I'm moving to Vegas within the next couple of weeks and I need a heads up at finding an sor or some really inexpensive place to live

+Pandastc ASMR sorry, but I'm not sure
No worries! Thank you so much anyways! Keep up the amazing work!
The website says you MUSt take the examine at the place. You can't take it online before you move...it says. Is that true
They may have changed the process since the video was made. I'd go with what they tell you
Links are wrong for metro and health card
Hi Jacob, I live in Las Vegas also, and I came from California as so many in Vegas did. I always thought you were a realtor here in Vegas. Love your videos thank you Christian
Nice! I'm not a realtor, but I do connect people with a realtor when they're looking to buy a home here. I appreciate you watching!

Thank you for all this information!!
De nada!
Have you ever thought about making a video about all the reasons Las Vegas is not California and different in so many ways and then tell about all those ways?
I did one awhile ago, but I'll have more in the future
Hi Jacob! Thanks for all the great work you do! that's really helpful. I'd like to know if I can already take the TAM exam for exemple, eventhough I'm not already in the USA, and don't have a SSN? (I will move to Henderson at the end of this year) thanks.
I'm not sure. I would check the website and see if you can contact them
Thanks a lot for your help Jacob. That would be convenient If I could land with these exams already in my hands.
Say if I apply for a warehouse to become a forklift driver do I need to get those cards as well
What type of card do you need to work in the casino or security? Does the sheriff card work for both or just one
I'm hoping to move to Vegas fairly soon, I do drywall / painting and work for myself. See any reason for me to need any kind of card? Thx Jacob... been watching your vids for quite some time now. 😉
Do they take your temporary sheriffs card when you get your permanent

You cannot take the foods safety handler coarse online it has to be in person FYI 😎
Hey Jacob, thanks for all your helpful tips for important stuff in Vegas. I've been here 5 years and still learn a lot from you... wanted to update people on the FOOD HANDLER card.

There's one that's required to work in casinos if you're working on sensitive machines like computers or slot machines i forgot what it's called
That's probably the gaming card
I know question may be stupid, but can you work without sheriff card in some restaurants without gambling or things like that
That was really good information Jacob. Thanks very much for taking the time to make a video about it. What about a gaming card for the casino industry, is it just about the same procedure? Great channel man, keep up the good work.
Question: I work for Enterprise as a service agent, if I wanted to get transferred to Vegas to work for Enterprise do I need a card?

I will be looking to move to the Vegas/Henderson area, hopefully soon. But I have no way of knowing when until my current house sells. I will be looking for work in the IT field, would I need these cards for the tech field, or would it depend on the company?
