Culinary Union members have voted to approve a new contract with Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, ending the longest strike at a resort in the city in more than two dec

The longest strike in decades by Las Vegas hotel workers ended Wednesday with a new contract between the union and a casino where hundreds of employees had walked off the job in November. The Culinary Workers Union announced on the social media platform X that it secured a five-year deal for about 700 employees at Virgin Hotels near the Las Vegas Strip.

In a joint statement on Wednesday, the unions said preparations are being made to settle their new five-year contract with Virgin, one of the last holdout properties without a contracted unionized workforce near the Strip.

In pursuit of increased wages and renegotiated employee benefits, more than 18,000 Costco union members nationwide voted to authorize a strike if the wholesale company doesn't agree to their terms by Jan.
