Casinos in Las Vegas have seen massive drops in revenue due to the coronavirus and a three-month shutdown. Even though casinos reopened in early June, Nevada’s top tourist attraction has been slow to return to normalcy. While most of the state’s casinos laid off or furloughed employees due to loss of revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Las Vegas Sands is the only major casino in Nevada to keep all employees on the payroll.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson sent a memo to all employees saying the hotel and casino chain will continue to keep all employees on the payroll and maintain their benefits through October 31st.
