The Nevada Gaming Control Board has relaxed COVID restrictions for vaccinated individuals in Las Vegas casinos.
The Board confirmed that wearing of masks in state’s casinos are no longer a necessary requirement for individuals who have already undergone vaccination.
This was in line with the permission given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) after Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed Emergency Directive 045, on updated guidelines.
As per Gambling Insider report, the directives include: Updates to: “The Board neither requires nor prohibits gaming licensees from confirming patron vaccination status. Licensees are encouraged to post signage with the latest CDC mask guidance for vaccinated and unvaccinated guests.”
“The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons. Consequently, unless circumstances change, it is not practical for the Board to attempt to enforce a mask mandate tethered to an individual’s vaccination status.”
