Earlier this week, Las Vegas/Clark County had over 78% of the known cases of virus, and 84% of the deaths.
Doesn’t seem like a good place to ‘start opening the state’.
Further complicated by the usual visitors to LV are from all over the world—and who will be testing them before they are allowed to come into the city?

The casinos support Las Vegas and the state. Ultimately that revenue is derived from tourists...50 million of them per year. From all over the world.
That will never come back no matter how much the loss is lamented.
All the small businesses in Las Vegas also depend on those 50 million tourists...and the financially healthy 2.7 million people that live there.
Remove all restrictions in Nevada and all US states, and all restrictions on international travel...and still they’ll never get close to 50 million annual visitors again.
It will be a legendary collapse and exodus.
Where will those 2.7 million people go? Who will buy the 600 thousand single family homes? Who will fund even the street lights?
Such pain and suffering awaits those people. It’s heartbreaking.
