The M Resort layoffs took place on Monday, and follow other coronavirus-linked layoffs at several casino companies and tribal gaming operations.
Most prominent layoffs were at MGM Resorts International. In August, MGM formally terminated approximately 18,000 workers in response to COVID-19.
Another property, The Tropicana, located on the Las Vegas Strip, laid off 702 employees in October. As of last month, it planned to lay off 132 more workers between the end of December and into this month, the
Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
In addition, last week, gaming properties operated by the Navajo Nation said they plan to furlough more than 1,100 workers, also because of the pandemic. The Native American tribe operates four casinos in Arizona and New Mexico.
