I'm here in LV but haven't heard anything about a hotel strike. Are you thinking about the Culinary Union?
Here's the inside dopw as far as I can ascertain right now ------->
Workers at 14 Las Vegas casinos yesterday overwhelmingly voted to authorize their union to call for a strike if contract agreements aren't reached.
The vote covers about 10,000 workers at 12 downtown Las Vegas hotels and casinos and two properties on The Strip. The workers are members of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and the Bartenders Union Local 165 who have been working on contract extensions.
No walkout is expected immediately and the vote only gives union officials the ability to call for a strike if negotiations should break down. The last time the union went on strike was in May 2002 when workers at the downtown Golden Gate casino walked off their jobs after failing to reach an agreement with management.
The strike vote also covers unionized workers at two industrial laundries.
The hotels that would be affected are: Binion's, El Cortez, Fitzgerald's, Four Queens, Fremont, Golden Gate, Golden Nugget, Jerry's Nugget, Las Vegas Club, Las Vegas Hilton, Main Street, Plaza, Tropicana and Western. The laundries are Al Phillips and Mission Industries.

No mention of the Orleans so there's not much to worry about! If it does spread around town it simply means that we'll not be drinking any alcohol and have to eat at McDonalds or In-n-Out during the Olympia. But the casinos here always have a stand by crew ready , willing and able to fill the void. In fact, I might even be rolling your Sushi.
