The airport corridor has also seen labor tension in recent months. Culinary Workers Union Local 226 staged picketing and set strike deadlines in late 2025 for airport food service concession workers at Harry Reid International Airport, pushing for wage parity with unionized Strip resort restaurant employees, according to earlier Hoodline reporting. Union representatives had noted that airport concession workers were earning $3 to $4 less per hour than their Strip counterparts. It remains to be seen how off-Strip concepts like Significant Other, operating just outside the airport's concession footprint, will navigate that same labor and cost landscape while courting both neighborhood regulars and airport-adjacent business travelers.
