Nearly two dozen picketing Culinary Union members were accused of trespass and arrested during a protest that turned into a sit-down at Virgin Las Vegas on Thursday evening.

On a post on X, union officials said the protest began on Harmon Avenue, but workers and two union officials then moved to the resort’s porte-cochere and sat down. About 23 protesters were then arrested, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge and President Diana Valles were with the protesters.

“During a Culinary Union protest, several culinary members entered into Virgin Hotel and Casino property,” Metro Lt. Nick Jones stated in a text.
