Nevada casinos to remain closed until April 30

Nevada casinos and other brick-and-mortar gambling locations are to remain closed until at least April 30 after the state’s Governor Steve Sisolak extended temporary measures to slow the spread of novel coronavirus (Covid-19).

Venues across the state were ordered to shut down gaming devices, machines, tables, games and any other kit related to gaming activity by 11:59pm on March 17 for 30 days. This suspension will now be extended until at least the end of April.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board, the state’s gambling regulator, will continue to enforce the temporary regulations until the Governor deems it fit to lift the measures.

The extension of the state-wide order will apply to all non-essential businesses in Nevada, with only facilities such as pharmacies, grocery stores, drug and convenience stores, banks and financial institutions, hardware stores, and gas stations permitted to open.
