It doesn\u2019t help that the shutdown cripples Nevada\u2019s economy because of the state\u2019s dependence on tourism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KPIX CBS SF Bay Area<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VkgX3ez36AQ?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Virginia Valentine<\/strong>, president of the Resort Association tried to put things into perspective by stating that Nevada is more reliant on its tourism industry than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/states\/new-york\">New York<\/a> is on its financial industry or Detroit is on auto manufacturing. The numbers don\u2019t lie. Nevada generated $12 billion in casino revenue last year, with Las Vegas contributing more than half that number. <\/p>\n<p>An economic assessment of the Nevada economy points out that the state\u2019s economy lacks diversity and is dependent on tourism and gaming. 40 percent of Nevada\u2019s state funds come from gaming and tourism while 450,000 jobs are dependent on it.<\/p>\n<p>With the casinos being shut down from <a href=\"https:\/\/nvhealthresponse.nv.gov\">COVID-19 fears<\/a>, the Nevada economy is on the verge of being crippled. The industry now risks losing $39 billion over the next year and a half. It also means that the 320,000 workers in the industry are now at risk. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"massive-shutdown\">Massive Shutdown<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\/states\/nevada\">Nevada casinos<\/a> have been closed since last week. MGM and Wynn Resorts were the first to announce that they were shutting down their properties. The next operators to close their doors were the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Las Vegas Sands Corp. Finally, <strong>Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak<\/strong> ordered a 30-shutdown of all casinos statewide.<\/p>\n<p>According to the casinos, they will be paying their employees through closure. Many of them have already borrowed billions of dollars to fund their payrolls and healthcare coverage. The US gambling industry is also being damaged, with 92 percent of casinos being shut down though the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casinousa.com\">online casino market<\/a> will largely benefit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Nevada gaming industry is one of the backbones of the state economy and it has taken a big hit because of the recent shutdown over COVID-19.
