Unionized Las Vegas hospitality workers represented by the Culinary union and the Bartenders union successfully voted to authorize strike action. Contract negotiations between management at various Las Vegas management and the unions will continue next week, and the unions stated that if negotiations do not progress workers will strike. The unions are seeking increases in wages and improvements in safety measures, as well as protections against new technology and employment recall rights. Las Vegas is preparing for various upcoming events, such as the NFL Super Bowl and a Formula 1 race. Las Vegas hotels and casinos are experiencing growth in revenue due to increases in tourists and players in recent months, and workers are seeking increases in wages to match the increases in revenue.
