The start of summer has brought new uncertainties for the tourist mecca, however, with COVID cases resurging at among the highest levels in the country and new local government recommendations and mandates issued relating to masking.

Las Vegas officials on Tuesday decided against imposing a mask mandate for tourists on the Strip, citing tourism concerns.

Local and state officials are defending a partial mask mandate that appears rooted more in economics than science.

Clark County’s mandate for employees to wear masks while in crowded indoor spaces also will apply to casinos, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said Wednesday.
