A victim of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lakeside Inn announced its permanent closure in April of 2020. The announcement came less than a month after Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) ordered all commercial casinos in the state to temporarily shutter operations.
Lakeside’s ownership group cited its business being denied a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan from the federal government. Congress and the Small Business Association later amended its PPP regulations to allow gaming operators to participate. But it came too late for Lakeside and its 218 employees.
