Las Vegas sports teams, including the NFL’s Raiders and the Golden Knights professional hockey team, are maintaining their Coronavirus vaccination policies in place. And that means all fans will have to show proof of a Covid vaccination to enter the teams home games. These announcements should not come as a surprise, given the direction of the state’s health situation and mandate of Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak about large events. And in this particular case, it’s more of a “pick your poison” type of situation. To explain, the Governor said that events have but two options: 1) Require all fans to…

For the fifth month on a row, Nevada casinos have brought in over a billion dollars in a month. In July, they actually set another revenue record by generating $1.36 billion. The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported the numbers, which were a rise of 80% over July of last year. The return of more entertainment, such as the Cirque du Soleil shows and concerts, and the opening of the new Resorts World Las Vegas certainly helped the numbers. Although these numbers are encouraging, passing the previous all time record of $1.23 billion just set by Nevada casinos this past May,…

The start of the NFL season is near. And when the Las Vegas Raiders kick off next month, fans will have to show proof of their Covid vaccination if they want to attend the game. Those fans who didn’t get a vaccination for whatever reason, or perhaps did not take advantage of the offer to be paid $100 to get the vaccine, will still have the option of getting their Coronavirus shot right there at the stadium!

Looking for a little extra spending money? Well, some Las Vegas residents could be paid for getting vaccinated! As strange as it sounds, the Clark County Commission is pushing a pilot program in which people living in and around Sin City would be given $100 for receiving the COVID vaccination.
