A sustained shutdown of MGM Resorts properties in the wake of COVID-19 contributed to a second quarter operating loss of $1 billion.

An Arizona couple, and many others, aren’t letting COVID-19 stop their fun. Within an hour of Bally’s reopening, the casino was back to old form.

The lawsuit was filed two days before health officials reported 1,021 new COVID-19 cases in Clark County on Monday – the most recorded in a day.

Occupancy changes at the Strip-side Las Vegas Sands property start July 21.

The Las Vegas Strip property plans to welcome guests back at 10 a.m. on July 23 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Workers at Caesars Palace, Paris, Flamingo, Harrah’s and Nobu have until July 17 to get tested. And if they can be fired if they don’t wear masks.

The Caesars Entertainment property in Las Vegas is the seventh to open since Nevada lifted a COVID-19 shutdown that lasted almost three months.

What happens here may stay here, but there’s a new mantra now at play in Las Vegas: “No shirts, no shoes, no mask, no service.”
