Maddox listed a five-step plan to reopening the Las Vegas economy as it responds to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He would like to see parts of the Nevada local economy reopen as soon as early May and begin with reduced occupancy, physical distancing measures, temperature checks and no large gatherings.
Maddox wrote: “Our economy is in a free fall. Nevada will likely be one of the hardest hit states in the nation and suffer very high unemployment. It is imperative to flatten this curve so we can re-emerge in a safe, sustainable way.”
Maddox also laid out a detailed image of what casinos could look like once they reopen.
Wynn employees would follow a number of health protocols including COVID-19 training, regular hand washing and the wearing of personal protection equipment.
Guests would be screened upon arrival and then be asked to use hand sanitizer and wear a mask provided by the casino.
Maddox detailed casino operations protocol, including social distancing and sanitation of slots and table games.
Maddox wrote: “We will continue to refine and update the plan as our experts provide us more advice. Our procedures are extensive and not applicable to all resorts in our industry.”
