Grand Prix is Coming to Las Vegas – Is Your Staff Prepared?

Published on by TAM of NevadaLeave a comment

It’s coming! Our great city will host the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 16-18, 2023. Vendors and employees will need to be prepared. Has your staff met the necessary requirements to work this event?

You may be wondering, who on my staff will need a TAM Card?

  • Anyone selling or serving alcoholic beverages at a festival or special event, even if it is just for one weekend.
  • Anyone, working at any venue, who sells or serves alcohol to the public.
  • Security guards who work at those venues.
  • Clerks and cashiers at retail stores that sell sealed alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol awareness cards are required for anyone selling or serving alcoholic beverages at special events like the Grand Prix… and the TAM® Card is the number one choice of employers in Las Vegas.

Ensuring that your staff is properly trained on alcohol laws and safe beverage service will also reduce risk and liability for your business. Employees issued citations for serving alcohol to minors can also face fines. When an individual employee fails a compliance check, the business license department is notified which may mean problems when renewing licenses. Owners or managers of a business that fails compliance checks can also be issued a citation and could face the revocation of their business license. Additionally, establishments which violate statute provisions pertaining to alcohol awareness training are subject to administrative fines ranging from $500 to $5000. It’s not worth the risk. Choosing the most comprehensive alcohol education protects you and your employees, your customers, and your business.

The good news is that we make it easy for your staff to get TAM certified and obtain their alcohol awareness cards. Remind them to visit www.tamnevada.com to register and complete their training before this event.

With enforcement efforts on the rise, why risk having trouble with something like staff not being properly trained and certified? Don’t wait until November – advise your staff to get their TAM Card today.

As you learned in TAM® training, drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke, and other health conditions. Learn more about alcohol and heart health at the AHA website, by taking an online TAM® course, or by joining us later this month at a special event.

As food and beverage professionals, TAM® students have a unique opportunity to help promote healthy food and beverage choices in their daily work. Restaurateurs and kitchen staff can develop healthy dishes to wow guests with discerning tastes. Servers can make recommendations about healthy menu items. And, we can all benefit from making smart choices in our own lives. To promote these choices, attend the always exciting Flavors for Life culinary event later this month. Join us for great education, great food, great tunes, and great company!

We’re pleased to announce that TAM® of Nevada staff volunteers will be on site to assist in the event in Las Vegas on Saturday, October 19th.

If you’ll be attending this fantastic event, TAM® Manager Sherry Cummings and additional TAM® Staff members will be on site and participating. Please stop by and say hello!
