Union has threatened to strike as soon as Friday
LAS VEGAS — Following a breakthrough deal at dawn Wednesday between the Las Vegas hotel workers union and Caesars Entertainment, a tentative contract was taking shape for 20,000 hospitality workers at rival MGM Resorts International that experts say would almost certainly thwart an unprecedented strike on the Las Vegas Strip.
“As soon as one company reaches a deal, the others just fall right in line,” said Bill Werner, an associate professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, whose research includes hospitality law and labor relations. But, he said, “I would say this is as close as we’ve come in a long time to an actual strike.”
Outside Caesars Palace on Wednesday, Joshua Guray told The Associated Press he came in on a morning flight from Los Angeles and planned to be in Las Vegas for less than 24 hours. Bethany Khan, the union’s spokesperson, said terms of its deal with Caesars would be made public once approved. A vote is expected to take place in the coming days.
The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix course will feature sweeping views of many of the casinos at risk of walkouts: Aria, Bellagio, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, New York-New York, Park MGM and Wynn and Encore resorts.
