The email Viva Las Vegas newsleter just came with some useful information. I've put it below. Looks like the MGM might be a good choice if there is a strike for club members who don't want to stay at a struck hotel. But also note the prediction in this report that the strike might be put off until Fourth of July weekend if it comes.

The 33 Las Vegas Hotels/Casinos whose contract with the Union expires
on May 31 st are:
Bally's, Barbary Coast, Bellagio, Binion's Horseshoe, Caesars Palace,
Castaways, Circus Circus, El Cortez, Excalibur, Fitzgeralds, Flamingo,
Four Queens, Four Seasons, Fremont, Golden Gate, Golden Nugget,
Harrah's, Lady Luck, Las Vegas Club, Las Vegas Hilton, Luxor, Main
Street Station, Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York-New York,
Paris Las Vegas, Riviera, Sahara, Stardust, Stratosphere, Treasure
Island and Tropicana.

The 3 Las Vegas Hotels/Casinos who have contracts with the Union but
the expiry date of the contracts are later than May 31st are:
MGM Grand Hotel (expires November,2003), New Frontier (expires
May,2005) and Rio (expires in 2006).

The 30 Las Vegas Hotels/Casinos who have NO CONTRACT with the
Union are:
Aladdin, Arizona Charlie's East, Arizona Charlie's West, Boardwalk,
Boulder Station, Bourbon Street, California, Casino Royale,
Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho, Gold Coast, Hard Rock, Imperial
Palace, JW Marriott Las Vegas, Key Largo, Orleans, Palace Station,
Palms, Plaza, Sam's Town, San Remo, Santa Fe Station, Silverton,
Suncoast, Sunset Station, Terrible's, Texas Station, Venetian,
Westward Ho and Wild Wild West.

In good conscience, I must now issue an alert to all readers. Prudent
travelers should now book hotel rooms in the 30 non-union hotels
listed above or the three Union hotels whose contracts will not expire
on May 31st, as listed above. There are many good choices.

Consequently, I must now advise you NOT to book any hotel rooms in the
33 Hotels listed above, whose union contract expires May 31st. Your
fun trip to Las Vegas will be marred by the inconvenience of not
having regular maids, cooks, bellhops and food servers in your Las
Vegas Hotel IF there is a strike. There will also be rotating
picketing in front of the Hotel on strike IF there is a strike.

If I was betting on this story, I would wager that the strike will
occur over the July 4th Independence Day long weekend. But, as I said,
nobody can predict the future. There is no need to cancel your future
plans to visit Vegas. Be prudent. If you are coming to Las Vegas in
the next few months, book your room in a Hotel that is not strike
threatened. Why do you need the possible hassle?
