This Week in Gambling: Las Vegas targets 4 June reopening

The Governor of Nevada is expected to announce that the state is ready for Phase Two of the reopening process, and to set a 4 June date for Las Vegas casinos reopening and welcoming players and tourists once again. Also, updates on casino openings in California, Connecticut and New Jersey.

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak announced he will hold a press conference on Tuesday, May 26, to discuss the next phase in Nevada and Las Vegas reopen plans, as outlined in Nevada United: Roadmap to Recovery.

Since that time, the LEAP and the Governor’s Office have been monitoring the first phase of a Las Vegas reopen, analyzing data trends and evaluating potential plans for Phase 2. If Nevada's COVID-19 data continues to reflect positive or consistent trends through the Memorial Day Weekend, the Governor will announce a Phase 2 reopening date at the Tuesday press conference, along with business reopening and statewide continuing operation guidelines. The hope is Vegas casinos reopen plans will be a part of that.


The Nevada Gaming Control Board also will be holding a workshop health and safety officers will provide an update regarding COVID-19 response. Afterward, the Board will consider any action necessary with regard to Las Vegas casinos reopen plans.
