Cowabunga! Las Vegas Water Parks Have Flood Of Job Openings

It's almost unthinkable, but in a matter of days - March 11th - the heated waters of Cowabunga Bay in Henderson will be open for business. About a month later - April 15th - Cowabunga Canyon in Summerlin South swings open its doors. If you are looking for a seasonal job, you're in luck! The Cowabunga waterparks have a deluge of job openings waiting for you.

Hiring has begun for the sister water parks with over 1,000 seasonal and part-time positions available to fill. They are looking for everything from the gates to the lifeguards, servers, bartenders, cashiers, maintenance workers and that one guy that tells you to stop dunking your friend in the lazy river? That one too.

Cowabunga Bay at the corner of Gibson and Galleria in Henderson has been entertaining crowds for nearly a decade, opening in 2014. A year prior, Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas opened its doors in the southern tip of Summerlin on South Fort Apache Road. The two were in heated competition despite only one of the waterparks - Cowabunga Bay - actually having heated water. The competition was hindered after the pandemic threw a stick in the spokes of the Spring 2020 season.

Last year Village Roadshow, the company behind Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas, sold the park to Cowabunga Bay. Since then, the two parks have joined forces, sharing a season pass and officially ending the "Great Waterpark War of 2014".

Whether you can swim, you can smile, or you can serve, there is almost certainly a job awaiting you this summer. Not to mention all the perks of a summer-long tan and immediate access to Dippin' Dots.

If you're looking apply, you can do so on the Cowabunga Bay and Cowabunga Canyon websites.

It feels like every other week is a four day week! Aimee+Shawn had Monday off for President's Day, but they got a lot in the rest of the week!

Shawn scours the internet for absolutely ridiculous stories to share with the show... and one story out of Texas caught his attention. It comes from a small town several miles out of Fort Worth, Texas where a 3rd grader found a gun in their school's bathroom. From there it got absolutely asinine... and Shawn had Aimee guess what went down.

Aimee decided to call in a pizza order at her local Little Caesars and it turned out to be way more of an ordeal than she bargained for. How ordering five pizzas can create major bureaucracy...

Winds were HOWLING in Las Vegas this week. Shawn's dad (who is visiting town) called Shawn from upstairs. Why? He was worried the wind might make the tree in Shawn's front yard collapse onto his car. Shawn was baffled as he has no control over the tree or the wind, and wonders if others are asked silly "what do you want me to do" questions too.

Aimee was on a hike and saw a doting husband checking on his wife's every step to make sure she didn't trip while heading down the mountain. Meanwhile Aimee's husband was behind her because he didn't want her to fall into him.

With all that exercise, you'd think Aimee would be ready and rearing to go for Scale The STRAT this weekend. But her most common refrain won again: her son has a football tournament and she can't go. Shawn didn't let her get off the hook that easily though, and Aimee lived up to it! She climbed every step live on the air at the station.

We are back Monday with tickets to check out Capital Cities when they perform at House Of Blues at Mandalay Bay on May 11th, plus we are hearing rumblings of a major concert announcement! We'll share that with you too! See you then!

After realizing how competitive he gets catching flying shrimp at hibachi restaurants, Shawn has decided he could set the record for catching them.

Aimee failed to realize that while Little Caesars' slogan is "Pizza Pizza", it is indeed not "Pizza Pizza Pizza Pizza Pizza".

It's already horrifying enough that a 3rd grader stumbled across a gun at their school. Then you find out what the teacher said after being told by the student. Then you find out WHOSE GUN it was. Wow.

You know, we used to be team Harry & Meghan, but then they got upset with "South Park". Now... we are over them.

Heading downstairs for some coffee early in the morning, Aimee stumbled into a co-worker she's seen for years, but this time they actually conversed! Shawn recalls working at Channel 13 and being frozen with fear after years of working with certain people and never remembering their name.

The winds were howling the night before, and Shawn's dad decided to call him from upstairs to share his wind-anxiety with him. Could Shawn do anything? No.

Pagers. VCRs. Dial-up modems. There are certain things that "younger people" will never have to deal with. Some of that is great, but others we are actually sad for them.

On a recent hike, Aimee realized her husband wasn't walking in front of her as they traveled down the mountain. When she asked why, she got a response that made her both laugh and be offended.

Somehow, yet again, Aimee can't make an event because her son has a football tournament. This time it's Scale The STRAT. It seems like there is a football tournament EVERY WEEKEND. Shawn won't let her get out of talking 1,455 stairs though... more on that later.

Shawn's first job was at Sam Goody. Gone. Most of the grocery store check out clerks? Vanished. Now AI is coming after our radio jobs!

Swinging through the drive thru in Taco Bell the night before, the woman in the speaker asked Shawn if he wanted to donate to "children's education". She had no idea what charity it was. Shawn is charitable... but hates donating to "ideas".

The tryouts were just announced, and our afternoon host Sammi has decided she wants to take a shot at being a Raiderette.

If she can't make Scale The STRAT, we'll bring the stair climb to her! Aimee agreed to do the entire stair climb in the 102.7 VGS stairwell and she lived up to her word!

Another day older, and another week wiser on Aimee+Shawn this week. It began with Shawn turning the tender age of 39. Aimee had the day off (celebrating Shawn's birthday, one can assume)... but young Sammi from the afternoon show was there to make him feel even older.

Shawn brought his dog to the vet for a $400 dental cleaning. So why did he walk out with a $2700 bill?! Did Shawn get screwed?

When Aimee came back on Tuesday, we got a breakthrough. Her son pretty clearly does not want to be associated with her on the internet for the sheer embarrassment of it all. But he has started to teach his mother TikTok dances. Is it going well? Not quite... but it's bonding time!

Valentine's Day brought gift bags to the Tempesta residence. One parent thought it was a good idea to add confetti to theirs. Shawn wants them thrown in prison. They discuss gift etiquette and the whole concept of everyone getting a gift for everything in the first place.

Aimee, somehow, got lost going to the Sahara. When she got there, she took in Magic Mike Live with her mom... who had to use her safe word. Several times.

This week brought a new term to the show: "playing it forward". This is when a listener calls and tries to win tickets for another listener who is having a really tough time winning games on the show. First it was Courtney who "played it forward" to win tickets for Buckeye Bob in Radio Roulette... then Katrina took on Google Predicts to win tickets for Sandra! How can you not love these listeners?!

Finally, Aimee took on Presidential trivia with disastrous results.

The show returns Tuesday (thanks President's Day!) with tickets to see Maroon 5 at Dolby Live at Park MGM! Enjoy the weekend, and see you then!

It is Shawn's least favorite day of the year: his birthday. From the chain restaurant songs to burdening people with their needing to remember the day he was born... he's just not that into it.

Sure she was pregnant, but this is the Super Bowl. What'd YOU think of her Halftime Show performance?

A "quick" trip to CVS turned into a longer affair as he waited for someone with a key to give him access to...soap.

A simple dental cleaning turned into a nearly $3,000 visit! How?! Why?! And does your vet tell you what they told Russ The Driver (to not get your dog's teeth cleaned yearly)?

We've been to the pricey weddings and we've been to the cheap ones. Which ones do we enjoy more?

Sure, he is pretending he doesn't know her on social media... but Jayden is trying to get his mom cool enough to show to his friends. So far... it's not going well.

Shawn has had it with the undeclared Pinterest war of moms that is going on at every birthday party, classroom and football field in Las Vegas right now.

Thank God Aimee and Shawn aren't "together", because if they were there would never be a hung or folded piece of clothing again.

It quite literally has its own street. It is next to the tallest landmark in the valley. HOW do you miss it by a couple miles?!

Once Aimee and her mom DID make it to Sahara... it was a party at MML! Until mom was getting pulled on-stage.

This is the 10 year anniversary of Shawn speaking up for himself and getting a company to open their wallet to the tune of thousands of dollars after broken promises left him in a precarious situation.

It's evident that Don hasn't spoken to women before, because if he had he know this was a TERRIBLE conversation to have.

This marks TWICE this week that a listener has called to win another listener tickets to a show. Man, we love our people!

Back in 1994, "Today" famously had no idea what the Internet was. Aimee+Shawn wonder what their moment of embarrassment will be in a decade...

Both Aimee and Shawn wrote to celebrities they were fans of. While Aimee loved Oprah, Shawn loved Nancy Kerrigan.

Can Aimee answer any questions correctly about United States Presidents before we head off for a three day President's Day weekend?
