The city of New Orleans isn't messing around with the pandemic. Starting August 16, patrons at most New Orleans businesses, including casinos, will be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test result.
Harrah's New Orleans, a frequent WSOP Circuit stop, will become the first casino in the U.S. to require guests to prove they are vaccinated or have a recent COVID-19 test result. Many locals aren't too thrilled with the mandate, and some have voiced their displeasure on social media.
Even fans attending New Orleans Saints NFL games in the fall will be subjected to the new mandate.
