A statement from Culinary Union Local 226, the largest local of the national UNITE HERE organization, said that more than 99 percent of members have voted to authorize a strike.
The vote involved unionized workers at the downtown Binion's, El Cortez, Four Queens, Fremont, Golden Gate, Golden Nugget, Las Vegas Club, Las Vegas Plaza, Main Street Station and The D properties, the Margaritaville bar on the Strip, and linen service workers at Brady Laundries in North Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, culinary and bartender unions reached agreement last week on a five-year contract with the LVH casino, formerly the Las Vegas Hilton.
MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment Corp., which together control a majority of properties on the Strip, previously negotiated new five-year union pacts.
The independent Stratosphere, Riviera, Tropicana, and Treasure Island casinos have also settled.
