Six more Las Vegas properties have come to an agreement with the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 on new five-year contracts for hospitality workers, Culinary announced.
The 780 union workers at the Circa Las Vegas, Golden Gate and The D — all downtown Las Vegas properties owned in part by Derek Stevens — secured new deals, Culinary said. The unions have also reached tentative agreements with the downtown El Cortez, the Rio and the Sahara on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip.
The unions since November have come to an agreement on contracts with resorts up and down the Strip, starting with major resort companies of Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts.
New deals have also previously been secured for union workers at the following independent resorts: Circus Circus, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, Hilton Grand Vacations, Treasure Island, the Mirage, the Strat, Tropicana, Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, Westgate Las Vegas and the Plaza.
Union leadership is calling the contracts the best in history, saying everything from wages to working conditions are enhanced.
With the Super Bowl looming Feb. 11, the unions are still working to finish contract talks with a handful of properties.
A Monday strike deadline is in place for negotiations with the off-Strip Virgin Las Vegas, as well as the downtown properties Binion’s, the Downtown Grand, Four Queens, Fremont, Golden Nugget and Main Street Station.
