In 2016 SPFPA made history by standing with the Security Officers at Mandalay Bay Casino, as they became the first-ever Casino Security Officers in Las Vegas to be unionized. Through teamwork, their SPFPA bargaining committee negotiated their first union contract, another landmark event. The members ratify their first contract.

Over the next few years, SPFPA Local 2121 grew unity strong. When it was time for negotiations, the Local President, Dennis Lang, and the bargaining committee led by Region 2 Vice President, Ryan Kelly once again went to work. The bargaining committee settled on an agreement to take to the Local membership for a ratification vote. The members overwhelmingly ratify their New Contract.
