LAS VEGAS RESTRICTIONS EASED TO 50% CAPACITY

The new directive (HERE) is another step toward re-igniting the meetings and events industry. The announcement comes on the heels of the governor also expanding vaccine eligibility to hospitality and food service workers yesterday.

“Las Vegas has been the top convention and meeting destination for many years. We pride ourselves on providing the best facilities, the best service, and now, the safest,” said Gov. Sisolak.

He added, “We’ve been cautious, but very focused on reopening Las Vegas in the safest way possible for you, our treasured customers, our valued employees, and our entire community. With great confidence in the efforts made by our resorts, convention centers, and meeting hosts, I say… Welcome Back! The greatest place to do business in the world is even better.”

Through a variety of “Vegas Smart” measures, the entire destination has taken a comprehensive approach of implementing stringent health, wellness and safety protocols to ensure that visitors, hospitality workers, and our community remain safe.

The new directive requires meetings, trade show, and entertainment venues to complete and submit a Large Gathering COVID-19 Preparedness & Safety Plan Certification Form (“Large Gathering Certification”) to certify through the state’s Department of Business and Industry that they will follow the state’s health and safety requirements and protocols and adhere to the prevention principles that have remained consistent: maintain safe social distancing, wear face coverings and practice good hygiene and cleaning measures.
