Most Mississippi casinos plan to reopen Thursday morning, after receiving the go-ahead from the state Gaming Commission last week. Others will open next week or on June 1.

Jan 27, 2021 You can expect the Las Vegas casino reopening to happen in stages. This is key in ensuring that the plans put in place are effective in minimizing the spread of Covid-19, as we all learn to navigate this new territory. Initially, MGM is opening four properties and Caesars Casinos will begin by opening three. Jun 12, 2020 The casino will open to everyone on June 15. Isleta Casino is also open to invited guests, VIP and Gold Club members. It's unclear when the casino will fully reopen.

The reopenings will come more than two months since the casinos were ordered shut down by the commission on March 17 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
