"I don’t know how we’re different," Virgin Las Vegas server Deanna Vann told FOX 5 of other Las Vegas hotel workers who successfully negotiated new contracts. "I get that we’re not like other casinos on the Strip, but same thing with Rio and Westgate. A lot of ones that aren’t on the Strip are union, and they signed a contract, a great one, compared to what they’re trying to offer us."

One Canadian guest at Virgin Las Vegas said he’s already noticed a difference in service at the hotel.  

"This morning, we went to order breakfast — room service — and they said it was unavailable," Lance Richards told FOX 5. "They’re not open today. I thought that was strange because part of the advertisement was having 24-hour room service. So, we went to get breakfast outside the hotel, and we saw all these picketers and found out why we can’t get room service."
