The company noted that 80% occupancy restrictions and three-feet social distancing policies remain in place outside of its casino floors, including restaurants, pools, and other non-gaming amenities at its Vegas resorts.
Casino floors at Station Casinos’
Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Palace Station, Boulder Station, Sunset Station, and Santa Fe Station properties too now operate at full occupancy after the Nevada Gaming Control Board gave the nod to the move on Wednesday.
The company said that internal vaccination of its employees and their families which started in April continues at on-site clinics across its properties.
Is social distancing still enforced?
Depends where you are.
Social distancing is no longer required on the gaming floor, but those restrictions are still active at restaurants, pools and other non-gaming areas and activities.
Are masks still required?
Yes.
In April, Gov. Steve Sisolak said he expects Nevada’s pandemic-battered economy to be fully reopened by June 1, but he made clear the Silver State’s longstanding mask-wearing mandate will remain in place at least through the end of May.
Masks would not simply disappear in counties that don’t like it, he said.
“This measure will remain in place to protect the health and safety of Nevadans and help get the state to a full reopening, Sisolak said.
