2 downtown casinos reach deal with Culinary

Two downtown casinos owned by Boyd Gaming reached agreement overnight with Culinary Union Local 226 on a tentative five-year contract.

The deal involves nearly 500 hospitality workers at Fremont Hotel and Casino and Main Street Station.

The union made the announcement on X.

Culinary is negotiating a new city-wide five-year contract for its members. It represents housekeepers, servers, bellmen, porters, bartenders and kitchen and laundry workers across the valley.

Contract negotiations continue with the off-Strip Virgin hotel-casino owned by JCH Hospitality, Tilman Fertitta-owned Golden Nugget and CIM Group and Fifth Street Gaming-owned Downtown Grand.
