One of the main reasons for the midweek struggle is the significant drop in the level of business travel. Hotel-casino resorts in Las Vegas are struggling because of lower consumer demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking about the effect of reduced hours on employees, Wynn Resorts said in a statement: “We have not yet determined the number of employees who will be furloughed as a result of the reduction in operating hours.” Others could make similar changes We have not yet determined the number of employees who will be furloughed” The Encore poker room will move to the Wynn Las Vegas, near the casino’s self-parking garage, starting on Monday. This change will remain in place “indefinitely until consumer demand for Las Vegas increases.” Starting October 19, the property will open at 2pm on Thursdays and close at noon on Mondays.
The Encore at Wynn Las Vegas will no longer be open seven days a week as a result of lower consumer demand.
