2020s
The start of the 2020s was unprecedented as a result of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and related response. Not unlike other areas around the country, the state of Nevada closed non-essential businesses in March 2020, which resulted in resort closures for 78 days. Upon re-opening, social distancing requirements and other measures limited the industry to reach back to full operations. Ultimately, the industry pressed forward in compliance with state and local regulations. Notable industry investments and project openings helped propel tourism overall. Examples included the opening of Allegiant Stadium, Resorts World Las Vegas and Virgin Hotel Las Vegas.
