Off-Strip casino-hotel reaches deal with union ending strike

After nearly 10 weeks on strike, workers at the off-Strip Virgin hotel-casino have a new contract.

Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 have agreed to terms with Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, the two sides announced Wednesday. A five-year contract was ratified “by a vote of 100 (percent),” according to a Culinary 226 social media post.

“Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and the Culinary and Bartenders unions are pleased to be moving past their contract negotiations as each looks forward to fostering a positive and collaborative working relationship for the benefit of all team members at the property,” the parties said in a press release.
 
The agreement effectively ends one of Las Vegas’ longest labor demonstrations in more than a decade. Workers at Virgin began striking on Nov. 15.
