"This casino property is noted for hosting a beloved 24-hour oyster bar and figures into allegations against its operator: 76 former employees filed suit under Nevada’s Right to Return law (SB386), asserting they were not offered their previous jobs when positions reopened after the pandemic and that the company instead relied on job fairs to fill vacancies. Plaintiffs are seeking reinstatement, back and future pay, civil penalties, and damages; the Culinary Workers’ Union publicly supported the plaintiffs at a press conference despite their non-union status. The operator has denied violations, citing closed outlets (such as buffets) and seniority as possible reasons some individuals were not rehired." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
