Even as rumors circulate that Las Vegas could turn the lights back on at casinos June 1st, Atlantic City casinos will remain dark for a bit longer. While some businesses in New Jersey start to reopen, Governor Phil Murphy said that he still doesn’t have a date for when casinos in the Garden State will be able to follow.

Asked whether it will be weeks rather than months to see them operating again, Murphy said: “I don’t want to marry myself… I hope it’s that,” he said. Some casinos are still accepting hotel reservations, especially as beaches reopen for the summer season. But their gambling floors remain closed.

The governor said that because casinos are larger than most buildings it makes social distancing easier. But, there are also a number of challenges that could allow the virus to spread ore easily, such as a lack of ventilation and open windows, and people sitting in close proximity to others.
