(US).- A couple of months after its grand opening, SLS Las Vegas officials announced it has laid off 2 percent of its workers after evaluating business needs. The reduction was felt in front and back-of-house operations. In a statement, SLS officials say they are dedicated to "exceptional service standards, and are beyond optimistic on the continued evolution and growth of the North Strip."
The 1,600-room property opened on Aug. 23 and created more than 6,000 direct and indirect jobs.
Earlier Monday, Sun entertainment reporter Robin Leach tweeted a link to a blog post from a former SLS employee who shared his letter of termination publicly. The SLS underwent a US$ 415 million renovation and has nine restaurants and three nightclubs and entertainment venues.
Local leaders have praised the property for its revitalization potential on the north Strip. Clark County Commissioners Steve Sisolak and Christ Giunchigliani declared Aug. 23, 2014, as SLS Day.
