Vegas out to employ worker with benefits (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vantages

'benefits' is the definition.
(vantage can mean a benefit or advantage)

'vegas out to employ worker' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to employ' is an insertion indicator.
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'vegas' anagrammed gives 'vages'.
'vages' enclosing 'ant' is 'VANTAGES'.

'with' is the link.

(Another definition for vantages that I've seen is " Benefits after deuces on court".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
