Representatives from the Las Vegas tourism and gaming industry on Friday again called on more people to get a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s after area health officials issued a recommendation earlier in the day. The call asks for all individuals in the region to wear face masks in “crowded indoor public places,” even if they have been vaccinated.
The Statue of Liberty replica at the New York-New York Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip gets its own facemask in July 2020. A year later, area health officials are encouraging people to put masks back on in public gathering areas as the region has become a hot spot for the COVID-19 Delta variant.
