Workers at The Venetian and Palazzo have overwhelmingly ratified a union contract.

The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 said in a Tuesday news release that 99 percent of workers voted for the new contract.

The property joins almost all other Strip resorts in becoming unionized.

Culinary Union officials said 4,000 plus workers are covered by the agreement that was reached earlier this month.

The tentative contract agreement was a historic moment for The Venetian, which was a decadeslong holdout as the Strip’s only non-union property when it was controlled by Las Vegas Sands Corp. and its founder, chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson, who died in 2021.
