Live music started just after midnight on June 1, 2021 (more like just after midnight on May 31), as Nevada lifted restrictions related to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Capacities at casinos and other venues are back to 100% across the board, and masks are now optional. That’s right, Las Vegas is fully open!<\/p>\n

On-hand at the band kick-off were Circa owner Derek Stevens and Fremont Street Experience President Andrew Simon.<\/p>\n
