The Las Vegas gambling scene is beginning to experience new signs of life following the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Mohegan Sun Casino in Virgin Hotels Las Vegas has to pay $60,000 fine for violating COVID-19 protocols. The casino's violations were due to failure of social distancing and mask-wearing measures enforcement. New CEO of Mohegans Gaming and Entertainment, Ray Pineault, and owner of Sahara Las. Vegas, Alex Meruelo, visited the Nevada Gaming Commission this week to talk about the recovery of the industry.
Nevada added 10,200 jobs in May, bringing the state's unemployment rate to 7.8% from 9%. Most of the new job openings are in the hospitality and leisure sector. The state’s recovery could take 18 to 36 months. Analysts said the economy could return to pre-pandemic levels by 2023.
