How to Stay Safe in Vegas During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Important Update: As of Feb 10th, 2022, masks are no longer required in Las Vegas. Las Vegas Governor Steve Sisolak removed the mandate because of a steep drop in Covid-19 cases. Several buffets are now open. Most shows and clubs are also open. However, a small number of shows and clubs may still require you to show proof of vaccination before being admitted. Almost all hotels have fully reopened. In general, Vegas is close to how it was before the pandemic started.
The requirement to wear masks in the airport or public transportation was also lifted. We still suggest wearing a mask, which is advised by the CDC when traveling. It may also be a good idea to wear one in crowded indoor places, especially if you are not fully vaccinated or at a higher risk of getting serious complications if infected. There are no restrictions on domestic travel to Vegas or Nevada, but testing and vaccination requirements may still apply for travel from certain countries.
A pandemic may have cancelled many things, but it hasn’t cancelled Las Vegas!
In short, you can still visit Las Vegas. You can still go out to eat and drink in Vegas. You can lounge by the pool and shop. And you can still gamble on that million-dollar jackpot!
Las Vegas has created a Vegas Smart plan that ensures everything is done to give visitors the best Vegas experience possible. We all know and love Las Vegas for being a place where anyone can have fun and escape reality for a bit! And while you can still do that, there are a few changes to the Las Vegas Strip that will make it that extra bit safer for us all to enjoy.
Here is everything you need to know about Vegas Smart.
Las Vegas is asking all visitors to follow four simple golden rules during their time in Sin City.
1. Keep Your Distance
This means that you should try to keep some distance when practical, especially indoors. Meaning that you’ll get more of Vegas to enjoy all to yourself!
2.Wear a Mask
Masks are recommended and currently required in indoor public places when in Las Vegas. Why not go Vegas style with it and give it some glitz and glam? Some locations like airports and Ubers make them mandatory.
3. Wash Your Hands
There are more sanitizing stations throughout the Strip and there are plenty of bathrooms inside every hotel and casino to wash your hands at. Just do it!
4. Seek Medical Attention
As with any time you feel unwell, go see a doctor as soon as you experience any sort of symptoms of any sort. While it’s opposite to the classic Vegas motto, it is better safe than sorry in this current day in age.
