XS & Encore Beach Club Temporarily Closed for the Weekend
Wynn Las Vegas decided to close its buffets, nightclubs, and theaters temporarily for the weekend to impede the spread of COVID-19, also known as novel coronavirus, at its properties in Las Vegas and Boston.
That means The Buffet at Wynn, XS Nightclub, and Encore Beach Club temporarily close for the weekend.
“Every scientific and health authority I’ve spoken to has focused on the need for social distancing, which is to say, creating sufficient space between each of us to impede the spread of the coronavirus. This isn’t simply a good idea; it is essential, and not forever, but certainly for now,” Matt Maddux, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, writes online.
Wynn already added paid sick days for employees who need to be quarantined, and says it will “continue to pay our full-time employees that work in these spaces.”
The resort also notes that it will screen guests with “non-invasive thermal cameras at all our entrances” to monitor the temperature of visitors.
“Any person registering a temperature of 100.4F or higher will be discreetly informed by a trained member of the security team and not be permitted to remain inside the resort,” USA Today reports.
Wynn also plans to “create appropriate distancing between guests” between restaurant tables and gaming devices.
