Some scientists chase tornadoes. We chase luxury consumer trends. (We prefer to throw ourselves out of windows.) Our not-secret laboratory happens to be located in the largest leisure destination in the world, the capital of consumerism, Las Vegas. It’s here that we collect our data and use it to help launch and market some of the world’s premier hospitality brands.
Please, examine our fine specimens to the left... at your leisure, of course.

Working at SK+G is nothing short of joining one, big, happy, slightly dysfunctional family. We work hard, laugh harder and love (really love) our happy hours. With exciting projects, chic surroundings and a culture that’s as unique as it is welcoming, SK+G is a haven for artful souls, longing to be part of something bigger.
Las Vegas is more than showgirls and white tigers. The real Vegas entertains in all sorts of ways. Whether you’re an art buff, foodie, hiker or diver, you’ll find your passions right here, or really close by. Even LA comes here to escape. (Especially from state taxes!)

Work with friends. And benefits.
Not that the work isn’t rewarding enough, we’re throwing a little syrup on those pancakes! Like three weeks vacation, one week sick time and nine company holidays – so much time off, you might forget where the office is.
Of course, we have some optional extras too – car washing, dry cleaning, soothing massages – plus an abundance of snacks, drinks and prizes (office bingo!). And the crown jewel? Friday lounge, overflowing with lots of team spirit(s).
