Nevada casino companies announced more closures to combat the spread of the new coronavirus.
Nevada casino companies announced more measures Friday to combat the spread of the new coronavirus, with the biggest resort owner on the Las Vegas Strip immediately closing all nightclubs, day clubs, spas, salons and gyms at its properties.
Officials at University of Nevada campuses in Reno and Las Vegas responded by canceling on-campus instruction. They’ll go to online-only classes when students return from spring break March 23. The goal of authorities is to slow the virus spread to avoid overwhelming hospitals with those sickened by an illness that no one in the world has immunity to. Worldwide, more than 145,000 people have been infected and more than 5,400 have died, but half of those who had the virus have already recovered.MGM Resorts, the first casino operator this week to announce it was temporarily closing its buffet restaurants, announced Friday it was closing day clubs and nightclubs.
Wynn Resorts on Thursday said it too was closing its all-you-can-eat buffets, along with any other large entertainment gatherings such as nightclubs and theater shows.
