LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – JULY 01: Construction continues at Allegiant Stadium, the USD 2 billion, glass-domed future home of the Las Vegas Raiders, west of a marquee at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino displaying the message “Shoes On Shirt On Mask On Vegas On” after the Las Vegas Strip property opened for the first time since being closed in mid-March because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on July 1, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last week, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed a directive requiring people to wear face coverings in public places throughout the state in response to a four-week upward trend of new daily COVID-19 cases. Hotel-casinos throughout the state were allowed to open on June 4 as part of a phased reopening of the economy with social distancing guidelines and other restrictions in place. In addition to Mandalay Bay and the attached Delano Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, MGM Resorts International also reopened its Aria Resort & Casino today.

Road construction at Jones Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue will start this weekend, according to Clark County Public Works. It is part of a larger effort to resurface roads and upgrade traffic signals to help improve traffic flow and safety in the area.
“A lot of the major impacts that folks are seeing on Tropicana Avenue and the I-15 will be lifted by the spring,” Kelsey McFarland, NDOT Public Information Officer, said.
During the first phase of construction, crews will work on the south side of Tropicana Avenue and the southeast and southwest corners of Jones Boulevard. By Saturday evening, traffic will shift from east to west to accommodate ongoing work. The second phase, set for March 28-31, will focus on the north side of Tropicana Avenue and the northeast and northwest corners, with final paving and temporary striping expected to be completed by Sunday night.
The intersection will remain open, but motorists can expect lane reductions and possible delays during construction. Driveway closures will occur on a rolling basis and flaggers will be posted directing traffic. To help limit disruptions, businesses in the area will always keep two access points open. Drivers should consider using navigation apps like Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps to get real-time updates on traffic and construction schedule adjustments.
