How Las Vegas preparer to reopen in May

In this regard, Joel Simkins, Head of Gaming and Leisure Investment Banking for SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, believes that it is likely that gaming establishments located on the Las Vegas Strip or Atlantic City will be the last to open.

John DeCree, Union Gaming Group analyst, explains that casinos can be considered as very massive places and adds that although the protocol to be followed in this type of establishments is not clear "could include reduced gaming capacity, greater spacing between active slot machines, fewer seats at live gaming tables, and masks for dealers.”

On the other hand, Wynn Resorts CEO said that Las Vegas casinos could re-open between mid or late May, with less occupancy, physical distance measures, temperature controls, a ban on large gatherings and the mandatory use of face masks.
