LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Culinary and Bartenders Unions on Monday set a February 2nd strike deadline for the more than 20 Las Vegas Strip and Downtown properties with which they have yet to reach a new contract.
Unless a satisfactory deal is reached by 5 pm on that date, some 7,700 workers will walk off the job. However, Culinary Workers Union Local 226 says if negotiations break down, workers could strike individual properties sooner.
Properties facing February 2nd, 2024 strike deadline:
| Las Vegas Strip | Downtown Las Vegas |
|---|---|
| Circus Circus | Binion’s |
| Hilton Grand Vacations | Circa |
| Rio | Downtown Grand |
| Sahara Las Vegas | El Cortez |
| Strat | Four Queens |
| Treasure Island | Fremont |
| Trump Hotel Las Vegas | Golden Gate |
| Virgin Hotels | Golden Nugget |
| Waldorf Astoria | Main Street |
| Westgate | The D Casino |
| Plaza |
Negotiations with the properties are ongoing. Union leadership plans to meet with nine this week, and two more local resort-casinos next week.
| Negotiation Schedule | |
|---|---|
| January 9, 2024 | Hilton Grand Vacations, Strat |
| January 10, 2024 | Circus Circus |
| January 11, 2024 | Sahara |
| January 12, 2024 | The D, Circa, Golden Gate, Treasure Island, Waldorf Astoria |
| January 16, 2024 | Westgate |
| January 17, 2024 | Trump Hotel Las Vegas |
| January 18, 2024 | Grand Sierra Resort (Reno) |
A strike would mark a first for several resort casinos. Many have never faced this sort of labor standoff before.
Last year Culinary Local 226 authorized a citywide strike when they reached an impasse with six major resort-casinos. That walkout was planned for just days before the start of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the arrival of hundreds of thousands of F1 race fans. Eleventh-hour deals with major Strip properties like MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Resorts averted a strike and resulted in historic five-year contracts.
