But he said if a tentative contract hadn't been reached and a strike coincided with his travel plans, he would have ditched his dinner reservations. Guray said he didn't know that tens of thousands of hotel workers were in the middle of contract negotiations before he planned his trip. The only item on his itinerary? A dinner reservation with a friend at one of his favorite restaurants - Bacchanal, the luxury buffet at Caesars Palace. Outside Caesars Palace on Wednesday, Joshua Guray told The Associated Press he came in on a morning flight from Los Angeles and planned to be in Las Vegas for less than 24 hours.
