An off-Strip hotel-casino is preparing for a strike deadline that could threaten its staffing before the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix next week.

In a Tuesday statement, Virgin Hotels management said they were aware of the strike deadline and were “fully committed to finding a fair resolution” during negotiations that are expected to take place on Thursday.

But the management alleged union negotiators have not put the property’s proposals to a vote or responded to other proposals.

“Although it committed at the bargaining table to provide those responses as soon as possible, it did not reach out to us until November 8 regarding a return to the table or any other potentially constructive steps toward resolution,” part of a statement from the property read.
