Closures over the new coronavirus are starting to hit the Las Vegas Strip. MGM Resorts, which lists 13 resorts in Las Vegas, joined the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore in announcing closures Sunday. Wynn Resorts said the two-week closure starts March 17 at 6:00 p.m. MGM says its Las Vegas properties will suspend operations by March 17. The closures hit the same day that Nevada governor Steve Sisolak announced that all public, private and charter K-12 schools in the state will be closed Monday until at least April 6.
