Red Rock Resorts has begun seeking intervention from the US Supreme Court in hopes of delaying the operator's compliance with a previous order from the National Labor Relations Board to begin negotiating with a union.
The Board’s decision was upheld by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on June 10, which denied Red Rock Resorts’ first attempt to pause the mandate while challenging the decision at a higher court.
Red Rock Resorts requested an emergency stay be granted by the Supreme Court to delay any compliance requirements, despite having been penalized in 2022 for engaging in “serious and pervasive” unfair labor practices during a Culinary Union organizing campaign.
In 2024, the National Labor Relations Board issued its first mandatory bargaining order to Red Rock Resorts after finding the company committed unfair labor practices during the run-up to a 2019 union election.
The relationship between Las Vegas operators and local union organizations has certainly been polarizing over the past 12 months, including developments at Station Casinos properties and Mandalay Bay.
Red Rock Resorts also released its financial results for Q2 and H1 2026 on August 4, having witnessed decreases in net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and net income for both periods, primarily due to softer results in Las Vegas.
Net revenue during the second quarter of 2026 was $510.3m and decreased 3%, while adjusted EBITDA totaled $208m and fell 9.3%. Red Rock Resorts’ net income for Q2 decreased 30.6% year-over-year to $39.1m.
During the first-half period, net revenue reached $1.02bn but decreased 0.6% year-over-year, joined by net income which fell 18.9% to $82m. Red Rock Resorts adjusted EBITDA for H1 was $420.7m, equating to a decrease of 5.3%.
Red Rock Resorts appointed J. Colby Williams as the operator’s new EVP and General Counsel in June, succeeding Jeffrey Welch who will remain with the operator through the conclusion of 2026
