C&C 4455, a new organization headed by Cliff Atkinson and Chad Konrad of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, has received preliminary approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board to oversee the casino\u2019s operations. This change in leadership coincides with Culinary Union Local 226\u2019s protracted labor strike<\/a> at the resort, which started on November 15.<\/p>\n

Cliff Atkinson, currently the property\u2019s president, will take over as CEO, while Chad Konrad will remain CFO. The move awaits final approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission. Explaining the decision, Atkinson stated, \u201cSince reopening (as Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in 2021), the property has struggled. The deal with Mohegan simply did not work. The reason we are here is to successfully turn the gaming operations around.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The new leadership plans to revitalize the property by focusing on locals, utilizing underused spaces, launching new entertainment offerings, and introducing a customer loyalty program.<\/p>\n

Union Strike Escalates During Ownership Dispute<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ongoing strike by union workers, marking the longest of its kind in recent Las Vegas history, has intensified. Culinary Union representatives argue that Virgin\u2019s ownership group, which includes Juniper Capital Management, the Virgin Group, and a Canadian pension fund, has sufficient resources to meet employee demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese companies have extremely deep pockets,\u201d<\/em> said Ted Pappageorge, the union\u2019s secretary-treasurer. \u201cThe idea that these Canadian economic entities would come to Las Vegas to try to destroy our standards of living that we\u2019ve worked for decades to build is just unacceptable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
