Atomic Golf Las Vegas, which previously announced plans to hire over 500 people during a hiring blitz in November 2023, has now announced layoffs just three months after opening its doors to customers.
Atomic Golf Las Vegas "Hiring Blitz"
Situated next to The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower, the venue boasts "four distinct floors, 103 digitally enhanced golf bays, six full-service bars, chef-curated food and beverage menus, and many more.
The hiring fairs commenced on November 25 and ended on December 30, with various positions available, including bartender, dishwasher, server, guest services associate, line cook, prep cook, sous chef, support staff, and maintenance technician.
What Does Atomic Golf Offer?
Atomic Golf is described as a "bigger, better, bolder brand of golf entertainment" on the venue's website, which features 103 golf bays, six full-service bars, a tap room, and chef-made food spread across four floors, which CEO Bobak Mostaghasi characterized as "entertainment with golf." Mostaghasi explained to 8 News Now that the idea behind Atomic Golf was to bring people together to have fun. He noted that the world is increasingly leaning towards experiential activities, prompting them to consider whether they could make people view it as an entertainment venue rather than solely a golf venue.
Before stepping into the Atomic Golf facility, visitors can already sense the meticulous craftsmanship and passion poured into creating the space where golf comes alive. A towering statue of the Atomic Golf logo greets visitors at the entrance, surrounded by pillars resembling golf tees.
Bookings for Atomic Golf bays and group events are available on the venue's website. Pricing per hour per bay varies depending on the selected day and time. The website states that up to eight people can be booked per bay. After golf games, guests could also visit the gift shop at the front of the building for themed memorabilia.
