Per a previous item about the Golden Gate's plan to remake itself as a boutique hotel, I wondered about the status of its Culinary Union contract. Not to worry: According to the union's political director, Pilar Weiss, the two parties inked a new labor pact in February (boy, do I feel like Rip van Winkle), so Golden Gate co-owner Mark Brandenburg can presumably set sail beneath a cloudless sky, as far as his remake plans are concerned.
Now that the Gate, the Golden Nugget, the Four Queens and (coming soon) Binion's are presenting shiny new faces to downtown, the pressure will be on Boyd Gaming and perennial laggard Tamares Group to provide a spiffier product. Boyd always knows what time it is but I'm not sure Tamares could even find a clock if its life depended on it, at least where casinos are concerned.
Doesn't this make the Trop the lone holdout? I'm shocked the union hasn't made this very clear. I haven't seen any mention of a new contract with the Golden Gate. You'd think the new partners would make that very clear, since I assume their ain business are union shops. Regardless-Three Cheers For Downtown!!!
Jerry's Nugget might still be holding out, too. I've queried the Culinary about that. I'll let everyone know if I hear anything.
