even formal complaints have been filed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board against gaming license holders related to coronavirus regulations since the pandemic began, including three that had not previously been reported.
The complaint filed against SAHARA Las Vegas, which remains the biggest casino in Las Vegas to run into trouble, involves failure to follow state orders when it comes to health and safety guidelines to avoid the spread of coronavirus, 8 News Now reports.
Complaints against the Kopper Keg in Las Vegas, Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, and slot route operator United Coin in Las Vegas were included in reports released on Thursday. The United Coin complaint is related to observations at a property called Cheers Tap House in Winnemucca.
The board had previously notified media of complaints against the C.O.D. Casino in Minden, Bowl Incline in Incline Village, and the Hotel Nevada Gambling Hall in Ely.
Since August 1, the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s Enforcement Division has conducted an additional 1,795 inspections and observations of nonrestricted and restricted licensees statewide.
To date, the Board has opened 189 regulatory cases statewide, relating to non-compliance with the Board’s Health and Safety Policies.
“As we approach Labor Day weekend, it is imperative that gaming establishments adhere to each aspect of the Board’s Health and Safety Policies,” said Chairwoman Sandra Douglass Morgan.
“It is incumbent on every gaming operator to remind employees and customers to properly wear face coverings and to comply with occupancy limits and social distancing protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19,” she said.
