The bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip are shutting down for a minimum of 30 days by order of the state of Nevada. It's most definitely an unnerving moment in history for the world's most iconic gambling destination. At the Grant Sawyer State Office Building in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak late Tuesday night ordered all non-essential businesses, including casinos, bars, and restaurants, to close for 30 days to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
Sisolak ordered all gaming devices, including slot machines and table games, turned off by midnight Tuesday. The unprecedented closing of the hospitality industry in Las Vegas demands that casinos must all close their doors by noon today.
