Members of a powerful Las Vegas hotel union are planning a vote next month that could empower organizers to call for a strike.

The Culinary union is negotiating over contracts that cover about 10,000 Las Vegas workers.

Last week, members voted to end a contract extension put in place in June, which means workers now have the right to picket, boycott, and strike.

Culinary spokeswoman Yvanna Cancela says members will take a strike authorization vote on March 20.

The 17 casinos still in negotiations include the Golden Nugget, the D Las Vegas, Tropicana and the Stratosphere. The union recently agreed on new contracts with MGM Resorts International and Caesars.

Cancela says contract negotiations have not ended in a strike since 1991, when workers picketed the Frontier casino for more than 6 years.
