Some of the bar owners applied for temporary food licenses in the last few months, to allow them to operate while they were waiting for this go-ahead to come through.

This re-opening took place at the end of September, and it applied to the city´s bars and taverns that don´t serve food, as well as the bar areas of restaurants and casinos. Now, they need to comply with strict safety measures and only allow in half the number of clients that they could previously serve. Bars in Las Vegas have been cleared to open for businesses again, following their closure in July as the US battled to lower the COVID-19 infection rate.
