“Now that the merger has closed, our operating teams are fully engaged with integrating the two companies and executing on the synergy plans,” he added. “Our number one priority remains the safety and security of our Team Members and Guests. Our COVID-19 operating plans for reopened properties are designed to ensure a safe and exciting environment for our Guests. We remain optimistic regarding an eventual recovery of travel and tourism in the U.S. and especially Las Vegas .”
