Each major hotel-casino on the strip is now united.
After 18 hours of negotiations between the culinary and bartender associations and Fontainebleau Hotel casino, a tentative agreement was reached on a new trade union agreement over the weekend, according to a news message.
The agreement was completed on December 19 and was ratified on December 30. This will apply from January 1 to September 30, 2028.
The contract includes access to culinary health benefits, housing and legal fund programs, a trade union pension. The new agreement also ensures the largest wage increases ever, reductions in the workload, today’s room for rooms for rooms, safety protection for workers at work, recall rights and the right for trade union workers to support restaurant workers who are not trade unions that are trying to unite.
“This milestone agreement not only guarantees job safety and fair wages, but also maintains the high standards that the culinary Union has tirelessly struggled to establish over Las Vegas,” said Ted Daddyorge, secretary for Culinary Workers Union Local 226.
“We applaud Fontainebleau Las Vegas to have risen and done the right thing by adopting the same strong language that protects workers in each casino along the Las Vegas strip.”

New Jersey can raise the tax rate at online casino, mobile sports game
New Jersey legislators a tax increase for online casinos and mobile sports game revenue.
Governor Phil Murphy, a two -year Democrat, proposed to raise the tax rate to 25 percent on digital gaming revenue during its budget proposal in 2026. Currently taxes New Jersey Sport Betting Revenue of 13 percent and online casinos of 15 percent.
Online casinos are the fastest growing games vertical in all six states where they are legal, including the garden state. In 2024, online casinos generated just over $ 2.38 billion, an increase of more than 24 percent year to year. At the same time, Atlantic City’s nine casinos reported $ 2.8 billion in gross gaming revenue in 2024, a Yoy decline of 1.1 percent.
The gaming industry quickly came out against the proposal.
The Casino Association of New Jersey “strongly opposes the proposed online tax increase, which will threaten the stability of Atlantic City’s gaming and tourism industry, as well as the industry’s labor force,” the business group said in a statement.
The proposal for a tax increase already has a two -party opposition in the state legislature.
“Simply put, double the tax on online sports and Igaming puts a success story in New Jersey with significant risk,” said the Democratic State Senator John Burzichelli and Republican State Senator Michael test in a joint statement.
