Goodman did not have the authority to force a reopening. The casinos will resume operations more than a month after Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman called for restaurants, hotels and casinos to reopen, saying her city was caught in 'a unique economic crisis.' The Nevada Gaming Control Board will release more details on Wednesday about the reopening of casinos, Sisolak said. In the days leading up to that emergency order, many casinos, restaurants and bars on the Las Vegas Strip had already begun closing because of the coronavirus. The state's gaming industry has been idled since March 18, when Sisolak suspended all gaming operations.
