Caesars Entertainment Corporation today announced that everyone indoors at its resorts & casinos across
the Caesars network will be required to wear masks at all times, except when eating or drinking.
The updated mask policy becomes effective on June 24, 2020 at 12 p.m. Pacific Time and applies
to all employees, vendors, contractors, guests and passersby in the resorts & casinos.
Previously, all employees plus guests at table games were required to wear masks at Caesars resorts & casinos
If you do not have a mask, Caesars will be happy to provide one to you.
“We promised that Caesars would continue to evaluate the latest recommendations, directives and medical
science regarding the COVID-19 public health emergency and modify our enhanced health and safety protocols
accordingly,” said Tony Rodio, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. “As a result, we are immediately requiring everyone
in our properties to wear masks, because the scientific evidence strongly suggests that wearing masks and practicing
social distancing may be the most important deterrents to spreading COVID-19 from person to person,” he added.
Caesars will continue to implement all the enhanced health and safety requirements in its revised operating plans. Also,
the Company will take steps to ensure that everyone inside its resorts & casinos wears a mask. Anyone who refuses to
wear a mask, after being asked, will be directed to leave.
The universal mask requirement will apply to all of Caesars businesses currently open in Louisiana, Mississippi, Iowa,
Missouri, Nevada, and Indiana, as well as tribal resorts & casinos in Arizona, California and North Carolina. The mask
requirement will also apply to additional Caesars resorts & casinos as they reopen in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Illinois and Ontario. Caesars will continue to open resorts & casinos in line with regulatory approvals and customer demand.
Among the enhanced health and safety protocols are more frequent cleaning and sanitization. Caesars has also implemented a
health screening program for all employees.
