Viva Las Vegas: Wynn, Encore casinos can run at 100% capacity

The gaming areas at Wynn and Encore in Las Vegas are now open at 100% occupancy.

Viva Las Vegas! The gaming areas at Wynn and Encore are now open at 100% occupancy and plexiglass dividers are no longer needed, Wynn Resorts announced on Monday. Wynn Resorts said it was granted permission by the Nevada Gaming Control Board to amend its occupancy and physical distancing rules because 88% of Wynn employees had been vaccinated as of May 1. The Nevada Gaming Control Board declined to comment to ABC News on Wynn's changes, but the board had said it would accept requests waiving occupancy limits until April 27. Requests needed to "demonstrate the licensee’s measurable and material steps to vaccinate its workforce," the board said.
