Governor Steve Sisolak on Friday issued a mandatory shutdown of all non-essential businesses. During a public address on Tuesday, he said all non-essential businesses were directed to close for the next 30 days. He also ordered all casino gaming to be shut down at midnight on Wednesday.
As the concern over the coronavirus pandemic intensifies, more people are staying home to self-quarantine and stay healthy. This means that streets and businesses around Las Vegas are deserted. Here are some photos of Las Vegas downtown.
