“It was very useful on Culinary Union’s part to place the deadline right before Formula 1, because every body in town is aware of how important it is to not just the employees who are in tip positions that can make additional money, but for the future of Las Vegas,” Edulblute said.

But it hasn’t revealed specifics about desired pay raises because, union spokesperson Bethany Khan said, “we do not negotiate in public.” The union has been fighting since April for new five-year contracts for members working at 18 properties owned or operated by MGM Resorts, Caesars and Wynn Resorts.

MGM Resorts and Caesars released separate statements saying the tentative contracts recognize the union workers for their contributions to the companies’ success, with historic pay raises and opportunities for growth tied to plans to bring more union jobs to the Strip.īill Hornbuckle, CEO of MGM Resorts, said in a statement Thursday, after a deal was reached, that employees “are the heart of our company and the driving force in the success we’ve enjoyed in Las Vegas post-pandemic.” The union’s breakthrough deal a day earlier with Caesars covers about 10,000 members at the company’s flagship Caesars Palace, as well as Flamingo, Harrah’s, Horseshoe, Paris Las Vegas, Planet Hollywood, Cromwell and Linq. The pact with MGM Resorts covers about 25,000 workers at the Aria, Bellagio, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, New York-New York and Park MGM.
