On July 20, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners for Clark County approved a motion to require all employees in Clark County to wear a face covering while working in a public space. This order, which was made upon the recommendation of the Southern Nevada Health District, applies to all employees of a Clark County business licensee, including each licensee of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

This order becomes effective at 12:00am on Thursday, July 22, 2021.

“When the Board issued Industry Notice #2021-48 earlier this year, it did so knowing that the pandemic would be an evolving emergency for the foreseeable future, and that local jurisdictions would act in the best interests of their constituents.” said Chair J. Brin Gibson. “As a partner in the mitigation and management of the COVID-19 pandemic since its inception, the Board is fully supportive of the Southern Nevada Health District and the Clark County Commission in its mask mandate for employees in Clark County. The Board will ensure compliance with this requirement in Clark County within the Board’s areas of jurisdiction.”

The Board reminds its licensees, gaming employees, and the general public that a licensee in violation of any federal, state, or local laws or regulations is a violation of Nevada Gaming Commission Regulation 5.011, and that the Board may seek disciplinary action by the Nevada Gaming Commission for any such violation.
