Las Vegas will be open at limited capacity for New Years Eve this year. A normal New Year’s Eve has a large number of tourists that flock to Las Vegas to enjoy the holiday. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic things are going to be much different this year and while acknowledging that it has risks to partake that precautions are being taken to lower risks of infection for those that attend.
Local officials are weighing the economy vs overburdening the health care system on a daily basis. The hope is that those that come to Las Vegas for the year will follow guidelines to keep themselves and others safe.
As Las Vegas is primarily a hospitality and tourism driven for a large portion of their economy. The normal major events are understandably canceled for this year. As Las Vegas takes precautions to allow for tourism and gaming to drive their economy while keeping patrons and employees safe. Social distancing, masks, and limited capacity are great ways to do so. We feel that for gaming it would also be safer to utilize Touch-LESS Gaming’s Sensor Technology for slot and video poker machines. Less contact with surfaces is less chance of spreading and receiving pathogens left on devices from previous patrons.
