The United Auto Workers (UAW) warns a plan to encourage more cashless gaming at the state’s casinos could lead to job losses and reduced tips among its members, as well as create more risk generally for fraud and litigation. The plan will be discussed Thursday, June 25 by the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC).

William Clark, the alleged robber at last week’s heist at New York-New York Hotel & Casino, was wearing a facial mask when he reportedly stole several thousand dollars at the cashier’s cage in the Las Vegas venue, recent news reports reveal.

Las Vegas gaming properties will begin to resume operations within a week after casinos promised in reopening plans to enact safeguards against possible spread of coronavirus. But what will happen if venues fail to carry out the state’s required or suggested precautions?

Some queues number in the hundreds and are made worse by reduced capacity in properties, which are part of the effort to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission.

Upscale restaurants at casinos are among the eateries that could benefit under President Donald Trump’s proposal to increase deductions for meals and entertainment on corporate taxes, according to several experts on gambling trends.

The Venetian Las Vegas resort now plans to reopen next month with proper care to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The Las Vegas Sands property has not yet found a specific date on which to resume operations. "Although a day for reopening has not been set, we are working hard to be as prepared as possible for the day when we will receive our guests," says the company in a recent statement.

The coronavirus pandemic has certainly been unprecedented in many ways—socially, economically, and legally. Tony Cabot is one of the deans of the gaming law field, having been active through many various developments in the discipline down through the years. Now, as a distinguished fellow of gaming law at the Boyd Law School at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Cabot is thinking about how the casinos will reopen, what are and should the stipulations be, what is the role of the regulator, and what will be the long term legal impact of the pandemic.
