Rising controversy could push Nevada to reveal it’s Covid-19 hotspots, possibly outing some casinos. On the heels of an expose by The Daily Beast, Governor Steve Sisolak suggested the state could reveal some of its internal coronavirus data.

In a piece that specifically takes aim at Las Vegas’ Cosmopolitan hotel, The Daily Beast interviewed several anonymous employees who claim they are “scared shitless” of the lack of safety precautions at the casino, and called it the Wuhan of the Strip. They describe stubborn and abusive customers, loosely enforced safety procedures and Covid-19 infected employees returning to work after as few as 3 days.

“I’m literally sick to my stomach every day I go into work,” one employee said. “So much anxiety about everything, and it’s so much worse on the weekends, when we’re packed well beyond the 50 percent capacity to which we’re supposed to be adhering,”

While other casinos are noted to be strictly following safety guidelines, industry analyst Jeff Hwang noted the Cosmo isn’t alone in its loose approach. “The problem with Cosmo is it drew crowds and [made] no attempt at enforcing social distancing,” he said. “I wouldn’t describe Cosmo as being particularly unique as far as those types of safety measures.”
