The Signature at MGM Grand

"The Signature is an all-suite hotel set back from the MGM Grand's main resort and casino but is still easily accessible to it by indoor walkways. There's no casino on-site, which means the crowd is less rowdy, and the hotel feels peaceful. There are fewer amenities too, though all of the restaurants, entertainment, and wellness found at MGM Grand are just steps away."

Sunbathers can order their margaritas right from their chaise lounges at MGM Resorts’ pools | Eater Vegas

"By June 1, pool customers will be able to order from their phones by scanning the QR code on their chair tag to access a menu featuring beers, guacamole, mojitos, margaritas, burgers, burrito bowls, cocktails, and more, with options to customize — make that margarita a double or add extra cheese to a crab omelet. At checkout guests enter their seat number, name, and payment information, and an MGM Resorts employee delivers seatside; in-person ordering will still be available." - Susan Stapleton

Culinary union drops its lawsuit regarding COVID-19 protections against MGM Resorts and moves into arbitration instead | Eater Vegas

"Accused by unions of failing to provide reasonable COVID-19 rules and procedures after staff tested positive — including not shutting down when notified of positive tests, not conducting contact tracing, failing to inform staff about an employee’s positive result, and giving workers misleading information about how COVID-19 spreads and what its symptoms are in order to keep them on the job. The unions dropped their lawsuit against the parent company for this property and agreed to expedited arbitration to resolve safety concerns, while the company has filed to dismiss the case, saying the unions hadn’t previously raised these issues." - Susan Stapleton

Nevada remains in phase two of reopening as COVID-19 cases continue to climb | Eater Vegas

"A lawsuit filed by the culinary union alleges that the property failed to institute reasonable health and safety protocols after staff tested positive for COVID-19: it did not shut down when notified of infections, did not carry out contact tracing or inform employees about positive cases, and allegedly provided workers with misleading information about how the virus spreads and what its symptoms are, which the suit says was done to keep workers on the job." - Susan Stapleton

The Culinary Union files lawsuit against Las Vegas casinos demanding better employee protections | Eater Vegas

"This quiet, all-suite, casino-free resort just off the Las Vegas Strip is the subject of a union lawsuit alleging inadequate COVID-19 protections for employees. A longtime bellman says he tested positive on June 11, attempted to warn management, and was not contacted for two days while co-workers he had worked with continued to report to work — one of whom later tested positive. The union says three front-service employees tested positive and accuses management of failing to shut down affected areas, perform contact tracing, notify exposed staff, or implement sufficient testing, cleaning, PPE and distancing measures demanded by workers." - Susan Stapleton
