Las Vegas Casino Workers to Picket for First Time in 20 Years Seeking Better Contract

Thousands of Las Vegas workers to picket MGM, Caesars casinos on Thursday for the first time in nearly two decades.

Unions seek a new five-year contract with improved wages and benefits as casino operators post record profits.

Talks have been slow and unions say they're not seeing anything to avert a strike.

Workers will picket at 8 MGM and Caesars locations, asking customers not to cross lines.

Unions represent 53,000 hospitality workers and met with casinos last week but say talks were disappointing.
