Steve Sisolak<\/p><\/div>\n

Las Vegas<\/a> governor Steve Sisolak has announced that from today that capacity within casinos<\/a> will increase from the current 35% capacity to 50%.<\/p>\n

The move comes after the state has seen just 222 new coronavirus<\/a> cases in one day and only one death on Sunday.<\/p>\n

With casino resorts struggling with the current restrictions the governor now believes it is time to loosen restrictions<\/p>\n

According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention there have been a total of 299,287 cases with 5,118 deaths in the state since the pandemic hit last March. It is also stated that some 989,000 residents have been vaccinated out of a population of three million so far.<\/p>\n

Originally casinos opened up with a 25% capacity back in November till February this year and the governor then allowed a 35% threshold on capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
