Casinos in Las Vegas reopened just two months ago, but fears of Coronavirus lawsuits have them concerned a different sort of closure could be ahead. Now, the Nevada Resort Association is pushing lawmakers for legislation that will protect casinos from “unfounded” legal action against them related to COVID-19.
The Resort Association said businesses that are “working responsibly and in good faith” should not be subjected to costly litigation. Since the June 4th reopening, casinos and resorts did implement safety plans with measures such as enhanced cleaning, social distancing guidelines and employee and guest temperature checks.
The association said it is seeking “targeted and limited safe harbor” from liability so long as the company had implemented strict public health guidelines related to the transmission of the Coronavirus. “The risk of frivolous litigation that mounts each day threatens the resort industry’s continued operations,” the letter says.
