Steve Sisolak’s orders, the state’s casinos, bars and other businesses have been operating at 25 per cent of capacity since they were allowed to resume operations in June last year. Public gatherings and live entertainment facilities are also operating at 25 per cent of their normal capacities, with no more than 50 individuals. The capacity curtailment is part of the Democratic governor’s efforts to put a check on the deadly COVID-19 disease.
