Last week we told you that the Nevada Gaming Control Board wanted to start issuing fines for COVID-19 health violations, and now the Sahara Las Vegas casino is in their crosshairs.

According to the Control Board, the Sahara had four breaches of emergency health and safety guidelines related to the Coronavirus outbreak. The most recent was in June when more players were allowed on the slot floor than are permitted by the current state policy for reopening.

Members of the Control Board also witnessed three instances of customers at tables or machines where they were not playing and one meeting that exceeded the limit on meeting sizes. There were also instances of customer standing at craps tables where three others were playing despite not participating in the game.

Although no specifics were given about the amount the fine will be, initial offenses in this area carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and subsequent offenses a maximum penalty of $250,000.
