Las Vegas back in business with end of all Covid restrictions
Downtown Las Vegas has officially been unmasked with all pandemic protocols now removed.
Businesses are now allowed to be open at full capacity, with no Covid-19 restrictions, which means mask wearing is now only a recommendation and live music has returned.
Casinos have started removing the plexiglass screens which have been a constant reminder of Covid for the past year.
"It has been more difficult on Las Vegas than probably any city in the United States," said Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President Steve Hill.
Hotels are at now at about 80% weekend occupancy and about 50% during the week, Hill said.
"We need meetings and conventions to come back to improve," he added.
The LVCVA will soon host its first unrestricted major trade show since the pandemic began as it showcases its almost $1 billion expansion of the city’s convention center.
Sin City is confident it will soon get back to near-normal levels of visitation and see a recovery in all-important convention business this summer.
