Fully vaccinated individuals can now play normally without any masks in the gambling casinos and at the same time it goes for both indoor and outdoor locations in Nevada. The decision was made on May 3.

The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons. Consequently, unless circumstances change, it is not practical for the Board to attempt to enforce a mask mandate tethered to an individual’s vaccination status.

As a whole the decision was made on May 13. Some licenses might be more restrictive as compared to the others.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

Not a very good step to be honest because there are cases which were found positive even after vaccination, so they are risking people's lives by taking such step. I would not visit a casino to gamble and would continue playing online as it saves me from the disease and feels better that I am not going to be a 'possible' reason for someone to get corona through me if I am unknowingly positive.

It good to partake in the casino just like before the issue of pandemic arise and it clearly know that the Nevada government cherished the casino business but I still not support the idea of let individual who are fully vaccinated to play in casino just like before the issue of the pandemic happen because we once heard the issue of people vaccinated getting the virus again.
This needs to be taking into consideration.

[dunfida]

What vaccine they had used out?
Whats the % when it comes to efficacy?

I would consider myself to get vaccinated if one of those people who had taken this shot have not records on getting affected but i do still purely doubt on that.
We have seen news that there are still get infected with the said virus even though they had been vaccinated.So i would say that it is still risky
to consider on going to public places without mask or face shield.

[Oilacris]

It wont really be given out permission if they havent tested out and they arent just dumb on pushing it through without  reconsidering about the risk on getting infected into those who do planned to visit out the casino.

Honestly, it really give out some hope and excitement that it is already possible to get out without the needing wearing those health protectable.

If i were a gambler and located in Vegas then i would not still risk out on going out and would wait for a while and observer if they are really not getting infected on following those normal days.

I won't say the Nevada government cherish casinos because they are actually after the money they will get through taxing casino and statement once made by their Mayor when there was total lockdown is proof to that and it hurt that the Nevada casino also allows this to happen when there's a situation where people who are vaccinated still getting the virus.

[freedomgo]

These people who are now vaccinated will not care if they could infect other people, but I guess since the news only says that it will be possible only within the premises then I guess that's reasonable. let's just hope that their family is also vaccinated so when they go home they would not infect their families. I don't know the number of people getting the vaccine already but this move is very confident and it's telling that soon they will be living in a normal world as the vaccine has given to everyone already.

[ReiMomo]

I dont feel the vaccine will take 100% effective and surely assured that you will never be infected by the virus.
I guess this is not a good step even they are vaccinated, it should always have even a face mask to avoid contamination from others, we don't know how immune we are to the virus, we should be careful always and this could be also a start to spread the virus there.

But let us see what will happen, they seem to experiment what will the result, if they will succeed and don't have an effect on the number of infected, it will I guess other countries will follow.

I've heard that news first about going to Walmart. Those fully vaccinated folks can now go shop at the supermarket without any restriction regards to wearing mask. They can freely go there without wearing mask and that's why the other industries which requires the physical appearance of the person will do the same. And here goes Vegas, those gamblers on that place will have their shot for sure so that they can come and go anytime without thinking about wearing mask and the virus.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

For me, the best experience is if you are not wearing a mask, there's a lot of things to do in a casino, you will not only gamble but you can also enjoy different show especially in the big casino, this is Vegas, one of the biggest so once you are there, you have to enjoy since you are not doing it on a daily basis. This news would attract more gamblers, and this is safe since it's only allowed to people who got vaccinated and it always promotes that we should get vaccinated if we want to feel like living a normal life.

Anyways there are still protocol to be observed even if people are free not to wear a mask.

Actually, it is true, they can infect other people easily in this manner.
And when they go home, another risk to take. So it is up to the person if he wants that kind of risk.
Even if they are allowed not to use mask, it is still their prerogative if they want to be safe from others.
This will be good if almost all their constituents already got their shot, but I believe the percentage is not enough.
As it says below site, only about 36.7% of the total US population got their shot so far.

You make an interesting point but I also have my reason for saying the Nevada government cherish casino despite the level of incoming it bring the state.
Yes, the Nevada Mayor does wish the casino could start their business during the total lockdown time but that doesn't mean it always about the tax money.

Just like what Biden said, If you didn’t get the vaccine you still have to wear the mask so if you’re a gambler and want to experience playing on Casinos, you might consider getting one now. Though if you’re still not confident with the Vaccine out in the market, better to play online just to be more safe since Vaccine still not guarantee that you’ll not get infected.

Recent findings of the new coronavirus it's mutating and there are the news of a new mutation that we now called a virus of global concern that can still infect even if you are vaccinated, the virus will be around us for a long time because of its mutating nature, so not wearing a mask even if you are fully vaccinated should not be recommended, especially in an enclosed and a crowded room, yes get vaccinated but still wear a mask to protect you and everyone you are in contact, this virus is unpredictable now because it keeps mutating.

[just_Alice]

That's actually delightful, to feel that things are going back to normal. However, I think it's too early for such open events, at least 70% of the country should be vaccinated and the decisions must be based on the infection occurrence, IMO. Who knows, maybe there's another strain out there that we aren't aware of yet and people going out there can cause another pandemic. Therefore, dropping all the restrictions just 5 minutes after the vaccination has been done is risky.
After all that we've been through, I think it's better to overdo it than underdo.

[Darker45]

The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons.

I am a little worried about this. If vaccinated patrons are allowed to play inside casinos without being asked to wear a mask and yet the casino itself does not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons, how could they make sure all those who are not wearing masks are really vaccinated? Anybody could easily claim they've already got the vaccine.

[Timelord2067]

How exactly do people prove they are vaccinated?  With a W.H.O. (Traveler's) International Vaccination Certificate?  An online APP?  The article is a little thin on information only reporting that "the board" had made the announcement.

It is so weird to read these. I can understand that casinos are losing a ton of money and probably most of them even going broke but in case you didnt know, even vaccinated people could spread COVID and there is no strong evidence as of yet to suggest otherwise. People who have got COVID once are still susceptible of getting COVID if they arent careful as well. So, now just because their business is drowning, they'd rather let another wave hit the masses and act in selfish manner to the extent of not even checking if people have been vaccinated or aren't wearing masks. Unbelievable.

I totally agree. But there is a very vocal segment among the American population which refuses to wear masks and some of the casinos are in very poor state and they simply can't afford to antagonize anyone at this moment. But I suspect that the entire move may be counterproductive. If such people are allowed to enter, then not just casino visitors, but the staff may also get infected and the casino may be forced to close down. The United States is still reporting anywhere between 700 and 800 daily deaths from COVID 19, despite the successful vaccination program.

[Wexnident]

Huh, is the vaccination a guaranteed stamp of safety from the virus? Really weird that the government even allowed this, since some places (like mine) still require even vaccinated people to wear masks. Cause honestly, if the vaccine had a 100% guarantee to poof the virus, then everyone would be going for it, especially those in the workforce.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

Going first to a casino after being vaccinated isn't certainly a first on my list of things to do if I do get one. Plus, I don't really mind wearing masks all the time, it only inhibits me from eating on the walk but other than that, no issues really. Looks like the casino is also back at 100% working capacity, good luck to them all then.
