Penn National Gaming, Inc. today announced that it is temporarily suspending operations at Tropicana Las Vegas, The M Resort, and Cactus Petes Resort casinos for 30 days as a precautionary measure against the continued spread of COVID-19, under the direction of Governor Steve Sisolak. All gaming operations will end at midnight tonight and all non-gaming operations except hotel operations will end by noon on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. All hotel operations will close by 6 p.m. Thursday, March 19, 2020. The Governor will continue to consult with state licensed casinos, public health officials, and government officials to determine safe protocols for when operations can resume.
"The health and well-being of our guests and team members will always be our number one concern," said Jay Snowden, President and CEO of Penn National Gaming. "Since the beginning of the coronavirus threat, we have implemented rigorous CDC recommended protocols throughout our enterprise, including increasing daily cleaning regimens, maximizing air circulation, canceling or postponing all live events, and we are in the process of reducing the number of chairs in our restaurant facilities, table games, and poker rooms and the number of slot machines that can be played at a time to enhance social distancing and more.
“As for our nearly 3,200 team members at our Nevada properties who will be impacted by this temporary closure, we plan to continue to pay their wages and benefits through the end of March. In addition, we’ll be donating perishable food items to area food banks and local charities.
“This is a challenging time for all of us, and we are very appreciative of the overwhelming support and understanding from our guests and team members. We look forward to reopening our doors just as soon as possible. In the meantime, we will be taking the opportunity to continue our deep cleaning efforts and preparing our casino to welcome our loyal customers back,” concluded Mr. Snowden. 슬롯머신
