Hopefully all will go well and people will stay safe. The place needs tourists and the casinos are the lifeblood of the economy. They have been hit probably as hard or harder than any place due to the nature of the businesses there.
I once had a choice between going for training in Vegas or Texas, it was an easy decision and I didn't hesitate, Texas of course. I knew nothing of either at time, both unique places, but Texas is more my cup of tea. Nothing against Vegas, but other than an ex-gf trying to lure me there to get married in one of those drive-through places, I've seen enough casinos to have seen them all, though at the time, I had only seen one, hah (I have no addiction for it).
Hopefully they can get their shows going again and other activities. It's a city that truly doesn't sleep.
Las Vegas to reopen casinos -- with restrictions
Las Vegas is set to reopen casinos following its coronavirus lockdown, but guests should not expect a return to business as usual.
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak set a tentative date of June 4 to reopen casinos statewide following two weeks of continued decrease in both new cases and hospitalizations. Should the decline continue through the weekend, Sisolak will hold a press conference on Tuesday to reveal further rollbacks as part of the next phase to reopen the state.
Virginia Valentine, president and CEO of the Nevada Resort Association, applauded the governor's decision, calling it "fantastic news" for Nevada's gaming industry.
"Our members have spent more than two months preparing for this day," she said in an emailed statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "They've put in place enhanced health and safety plans and protocols ... Our memebers are excited to show off the enhancements they've made that preserve the experience while ensuring the well-being of our employees and visitors."
Casinos are required to submit plans for reopening, which will require approval at least seven days ahead of actually opening their doors. Other businesses, such as nightclubs, dayclubs, buffets and large venues will remain closed – including the infamous Cirque du Soleil.
