Union Secures Contracts with Four Las Vegas Hotels, Strike Looms for Three Others

As Super Bowl week approaches, a pivotal agreement was reached for 1,000 workers, while negotiations falter at three additional properties.

A union representing hospitality workers has reached a tentative five-year contract with four hotel-casinos in downtown Las Vegas.
The agreement covers approximately 1,000 workers at Binion’s, Four Queens, Fremont, and Main Street.
Negotiations have not been successful with the Golden Nugget, Downtown Grand, and Virgin Las Vegas, raising the possibility of a strike.
The Culinary Workers Union, Nevada's largest, continues to seek similar contract terms for workers at other hotel-casinos.
The potential strike coincides with the NFL’s 58th championship game, expected to attract some 330,000 visitors to Las Vegas.
