On May 1, the state turns over control of its COVID-19 mitigation requirements to counties, but Gov. Steve Sisolak anticipates that Nevada can return to 100 percent capacity levels on June 1.
Nevada completely shut down nonessential businesses, including restaurants, bars, and casinos, in March 2020 in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Restaurants reopened in May 2020 at 50 percent capacity, while casinos returned on June 4, 2020, also at 50 percent capacity. Last summer saw bars closed from July to September. Then in November, the state reduced capacity to 25 percent as the number of COVID-19 cases statewide climbed dramatically.
Clark County already released plans going into effect on May 1. Many mandates already in place — namely 50 percent capacity in bars and restaurants, no limits on outdoor dining capacity, table service only — remain. The county recommends that restaurants and bars continue offering takeout and delivery as well as expanding outdoor dining.
