LAS VEGAS (AP) — A union representing more than 1,000 workers at the Stratosphere hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip has reached a tentative labor agreement with the property's operator.
The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 announced Wednesday that the deal reached after 16 hours of negotiations will cover 1,300 workers for five years.
Details about the agreement were not immediately available.
The agreement would cover bartenders, housekeepers, cocktail and food servers, porters, bellmen, cooks and other kitchen workers whose contract expired May 31. They were part of a group of 50,000 Las Vegas casino workers who authorized a strike after a lack of progress on negotiations.
A walkout will be avoided at the Stratosphere if workers there ratify the contract.
The union is still negotiating agreements with 15 casino-resorts involving 8,700 workers.
