Las Vegas police Capt. Larry Burns told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that 750 union workers protested Friday near the Palace Station.

The arrests came after police ordered the street cleared in front of the entrance

to the hotel-casino just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

The union has been trying to organize nearly 13,000 Station Casinos employees in the Las Vegas area. It accuses the casino operator of trying to prevent workers from joining.

The company is facing allegations of unfair labor practices from the National Labor Relations Board.

Company spokeswoman Lori Nelson says Station Casinos recognizes employee rights to a union if they choose.
