Two Las Vegas Strip casinos operated by the same parent company settled religious discrimination charges filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the federal agency said Thursday.
Aria and Luxor casino-hotels allegedly denied employees religious accommodations to their COVID-19 vaccine mandate policies, according to a news release. The EEOC’s investigation of the allegations found reasonable cause to believe the two resorts violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Aria and Luxor are licensed as individual entities but are both operated by MGM Resorts International. The Las Vegas-based gaming, hospitality and entertainment company declined to comment on the settlement.
