Las Vegas hospitality workers could make history this year if a citywide walkout occurs.

Tens of thousands of Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 members voted to authorize a strike if necessary in a 95 percent approval vote Tuesday. No strike deadline has been set and negotiations with the city’s major employers continue next week, according to Culinary officials.

The last time a citywide strike occurred in Las Vegas was in 1984, when 17,000 Culinary members from 32 Strip resorts struck alongside several other unions. It lasted 67 days and workers lost an estimated $75 million in wages and benefits, The Associated Press reported in 2018. The region lost a similar amount in tourism revenue.
