The push by casinos followed a notice issued in early April by the Nevada Gaming Control Board that the board would only consider increasing gaming floor capacity in cases “where licensees have taken measurable and material steps to vaccinate, and thereby, protect their workforce, visitors and the community.” Those casino properties have been able to expand the capacity of their gaming floors after a strong push to get their employees vaccinated, which included giving out awards such as electronic gift vouchers as an incentive, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. On May 12, MGM, Caesar’s Entertainment and Station Casinos announced that they would also return to 1005 capacity on their gaming floors.
