Workers walked outside the off-Strip property to protest the lack of a contract for hospitality workers. At the same time, Culinary leaders are scheduled to hold another round of negotiations with Virgin Hotels management.

Union leaders say their previous contract with the casino-hotel expired in June last year, and a March 9 strike deadline passed without a new contract. Culinary is now able to call a strike at any time, according to a spokesperson.

Virgin Hotels is the only major Las Vegas union-represented resort that has not reached a new contract.
