Face Masks No Longer Required in Las Vegas Poker Rooms

For the first time since July, Las Vegas poker rooms are no longer required to force customers to wear face coverings, and the mandate lift applies to most statewide businesses, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak (D) announced Thursday morning.

The news comes just three days away from Super Bowl Sunday, one of the busiest times for tourism in Sin City each year. Hundreds of thousands of tourists are expected to flock to Southern Nevada this coming weekend, mostly from California, to get action on the NFL's championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams.
