This Week in Gambling reported last week that the mayor of Las Vegas is in a mad rush to reopen The Strip and convention centers. Her comments contradict the guidelines for reopening issued by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, who will ultimately be the authority to sign off on any plan to open the doors of the casinos.

The board has a list of procedures in place that businesses should follow before reopening, which include complying with all prescribed local, state and federal COVID-19 heath requirements.

Mayor Goodman does not have the power to order Las Vegas’ casinos to reopen. Meanwhile, Nevada’s Governor says that “The virus and the science will determine when the reopening date is going to be.”
