Nevada casinos will be closed through at least the end of April following a “Stay at Home” directive issued by Gov. Steve Sisolak Wednesday morning.

The order extends the closure of “nonessential businesses” through the end of the month. Sisolak declared a state of emergency on March 12 and announced a shutdown of certain businesses for at least 30 days on March 17.

If the shutdown was lifted at the expiration of the 30-day period, casinos would’ve been open for business in just over two weeks. Sisolak will reevaluate the need for continuing the shutdown at the end of the month.

According to a USA Today report, Las Vegas Strip properties are already anticipating reopening business in May and have begun taking reservations for May 1.

“We want to be in a position to accept business at the point it is deemed appropriate to reopen,” Caesars Entertainment spokesman Richard Broome told USA Today.

Aside from continuing the closures of certain businesses, Sisolak said that the “Stay at Home” directive bolsters previous orders from the governor.

“Today’s ‘Stay at Home’ directive strengthens the imperative that Nevadans must not leave their homes for nonessential activities in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” Sisolak told local Las Vegas media. “This directive builds on previous directives around school closures, social distancing, closure of nonessential businesses, and bans on public gatherings of 10 or more people by requiring you stay at home unless leaving is absolutely necessary.”
