With new variants regularly popping up and the holidays underway, keeping track of Covid-19 rules and regulations is key to planning any getaway. It’s essential (now more than ever) to make sure you keep track of any requirements at your destination.
Your Las Vegas COVID-19 Travel Guide
As Las Vegas continues to move forward, here are some helpful tips to keep you safe and well on your Las Vegas vacation.
Travel to America
Make sure to check the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) website for any updates in travel requirements and restrictions. Currently, all international travel to the United States requires proof of full vaccination. If you are traveling from outside of the United States, you will also be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test no more than one day prior to boarding your flight.
Indoor Mask Mandate
Las Vegas has been consistently considered an area of high transmission, so masks are still commonly required indoors and are suggested for crowded outdoor areas. At this time, proof of vaccination or recent negative test results are not required for entry to businesses but may be required for large entertainment and sporting events based on venue rules. Regarding isolation and quarantine, the CDC recently updated their guidelines on December 27, 2021, shortening the recommended isolation period from ten to five days if asymptomatic. Masks are still advised for the remaining five days to minimize the risk of passing along the infection to others.
Vaccination Eligibility
Everyone over the age of five is currently eligible to be vaccinated in the state of Nevada. The list below outlines several locations near the Las Vegas Strip for testing and vaccination.
