The deal with Wynn was reached at 2 am PST Friday, following all-night negotiating sessions Tuesday and Wednesday night at Caesars and MGM.
Instead it announced a tentative deal with Wynn Resorts, which followed similar agreements Thursday with MGM Resorts International, which owns eight of the casinos, and Wednesday at Caesars Entertainment, which owns nine of the casinos. The union that represents more than 35,000 cooks, food servers, bartenders, housekeepers and other workers at 18 major casinos had threatened to wage the largest strike in US hospitality industry history starting at 5 am local time Friday. Friday morning in Las Vegas saw labor peace, and not a threatened strike along the Strip, as the Culinary union has reached its third tentative labor deal in three days with a casino operator.
