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. Two strangers and I were befuddled trying to figure out where to go based on the hotel signage, so I know it wasn't just me reading the signs wrong (an elevator is involved, which isn't indicated on the signage at all).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. * The signage pointing to rideshare (Uber/Lyft) pickup was terrible. That meant I didn't get an upgrade and also had to spend time going to the front desk when I checked out to get my resort fee waived. Exhausted, I ended up checking in a kiosk, which was fine, but there was no opportunity to enter my Caesars Diamond number. Not only was there no dedicated VIP check-in, but the line was extremely long. There was a sign at that check-in that said there would be a dedicated area for VIP check-in at the main check-in. * I arrived late - which isn't abnormal for Vegas hotels - and the dedicated room for VIP status holders was closed.

My room was huge, which was great, but it was very run down. Beyond that: * As others have said, this hotel is way overdue for room renovations. She was tremendously helpful and one of the only people I met during my stay who was truly service-oriented. I always take price point into account when I write a review I don't expect 5-star accommodations when I paid $45 for the room, you know? But I will start with a positive: Jenny, who was working in the cage on April 20, was so wonderful.
