“I am willing to go on strike because I have a 10-year-old daughter who comes to negotiations with me, and she is going to inherit all of this,” Thomas said. Tiffany Thomas, a guest room attendant at Mandalay Bay, said she is fighting for her family and future hospitality workers. The hospitality workers say they will strike for as long as it takes to get fair contracts - from the housekeepers and utility porters who work behind the scenes to keep the Strip’s mega-resorts humming, to the bartenders and cocktail servers who provide the customer service that has helped make Las Vegas famous. 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. That includes walkouts in Hollywood, UPS’ contentious negotiations that threatened to disrupt the nation’s supply chain, and the ongoing hotel workers strike at Detroit’s three casinos, including MGM Grand Detroit. It would also be the latest in a series of high-profile actions nationwide in what has been a big year for labor unions. Negotiations with Wynn Resorts are scheduled for Thursday.Ī strike by workers at the two remaining companies would cut to the heart of the city’s economic backbone and significantly disrupt operations at some of the most recognizable Las Vegas hotel-casinos as they prepare to host hundreds of thousands of people for next week’s Formula 1 debut on the Strip. Right now, visitors can place bets inside a 40,000-square-foot facility with more than 700 slot machines, 25 live table games, and sports betting.A sweeping walkout could still happen if the union cannot make deals with MGM Resorts, the state’s largest private employer, and Wynn Resorts by 5 a.m. On Monday, many patrons were people from the Triangle who were feeling lucky and made the drive.
