Good morning, everyone. Three down, six to go. The Culinary union announced early this morning that it has reached an agreement with the El Cortez a few days before a weekend strike deadline. A half-dozen downtown properties have no contract. Can they get them all done in time?
More breaking news this morning: McCarran passenger traffic was up 1.7 percent in April over a year ago, the eighth straight month of increases. And the state reports gaming revenues are down .27 percent in...
