Three MGM Resorts Casinos in Las Vegas Going Back to 24/7 Operations, but Without Poker
2 Min read
Three MGM Resorts casinos in Las Vegas will soon switch back to 24/7 operations for the first time since the global health pandemic struck. But the poker rooms inside the properties in question will remain closed.

Beginning March 3, just in time for Spring Break, the Mirage, Park MGM (formerly Monte Carlo), and Mandalay Bay casinos will be open around the clock, every day of the week.
Those three properties closed down, along with every Las Vegas casino, in March 2020 due to COVID-19. When the state permitted casinos to reopen on June 4, the three properties remained closed, but reopened a few months later. Because of the tourism decline in Las Vegas, the mega-resorts didn’t resume full-time operations and, instead, began opening only from Thursday morning until Monday morning each week.
