Bingo returns to Las Vegas
The only bingo room in Las Vegas, at the Plaza Hotel and Casino, has reopened as the gambling hub springs back into life.
US.- The bingo room at the Plaza Hotel and Casino, the only one bingo room in Las Vegas, has reopened joining the majority of gambling venues in the city.
It will offer six daily bingo sessions starting from today (Friday) and will also hold its popular postponed Super Bingo tournament July 5 to 7.
Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO Jonathan Jossel said: “We have greatly missed our bingo players. Bingo is great entertainment for all ages, and bingo at the Plaza is popular with tourists and locals alike. While we have new guidelines to protect everyone’s health and safety, the fun and friendly atmosphere that bingo at the Plaza is known for will not change.”
The Plaza’s $175,000 Super Bingo tournament was originally scheduled for June, but will now take place Sunday July 5 – Tuesday July 7.
The event typically draws nearly 1,000 people from across the country and from as far away as Hawaii and Canada.
The Plaza will operate following regulations set by the Nevada Gaming Commission to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. Measures include enhanced disinfecting protocols and social distancing during check-in and at tables. Occupancy will be limited to 50 per cent capacity, and players will be allowed to enter the bingo room in between sessions to reserve a seat. Super Bingo attendance may also be limited depending on requirements in July.
The Plaza has added more restrooms across from the bingo room to enhance guest convenience. A bar and limited refreshments will be available in accordance with updated Southern Nevada Health District requirements.
The Plaza’s Bingo room offers six daily bingo sessions at 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5 pm, 7pm and 9pm.
