As the United States began its reopening efforts, Las Vegas casinos followed suit, with the latest numbers suggesting more than 800 of almost 1,000 U.S. casinos being currently open for business.

On this Business Casual snippet, hosts Daniel Litwin and Tyler Kern discuss whether there’s any safe way to keep Vegas open as long as the pandemic rages on, what measures need to be taken to slow down the spread once more, and what it might take for Americans to buy in to those efforts.
