The news cycle might have mostly moved on, but the Covid-19 pandemic is hardly over. Las Vegas, despite a continuing rise in infections, is still slowly and cautiously reopening, providing more amenities and gambling options to visitors.

Caesars, after seeing a successful reopening weekend at Caesars Palance, the Flamingo and Harrah’s, is now confident enough to also open up gambling operations at the Linq on Friday at 11:00 am.

 “We are encouraged by customer interest and visits, strong demand and the implementation, so far, of our enhanced health and safety protocols,” said Caesars Entertainment CEO Tony Rodio. “This is a new way of operating, and we will continue to evaluate and adjust our procedures to enhance guest and team member comfort and experiences.”

It won’t yet reopen the casino, however. “Our expansion plans will continue to reflect customer demand as well as a focus on properly executing health and safety directives,” Rodio said.
