The shift in schedule comes just months after hotel-casinos in downtown and suburban Las Vegas reopened their doors following a prolonged closure to slow the spread of the virus. The move put Nevada’s nightlife at a near standstill.
However, the recent move by Wynn indicated that the recovery may take longer than expected.
