Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine we would see Las Vegas shut down… and yet, here we are! The Governor of Nevada ordered all casinos in the Silver State to shutter their operations by 11:59pm on March 17. The restrictions will remain in place for at least 30 days and will be enforced by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

The order comes amid concerns over the spread of the novel Coronavirus, and as part of a nation wide effort to slow it’s spread. All casinos across the state required to shut down gaming devices, machines, tables, games and any other kit related to gaming activity.

In conjunction with the Office of Governor Sisolak and local and state health officials, the Board will continue to monitor the spread of Coronavirus and issue further notices during the 30-day period.
