Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas Reopen as Strip's First Smoke-Free Resort
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
It took a pandemic with a high incidence of respiratory symptoms to nudge Las Vegas toward a smoke-free environment, but Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas are hopefully setting a trend that other casinos and resorts will soon follow.
Both properties will open their doors on September 30, completing the reopening of all of MGM International's properties around the world following closures earlier this year amid the COVID-19 crisis. Upon reopening, Park MGM/NoMad will be The Strip's first fully smoke-free casino resort.
"Opening Park MGM and NoMad represent significant milestones, as they are the last of our properties to welcome back employees and guests alike," said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts CEO and President. "The last six months have presented extraordinary challenges and I could not be prouder of the MGM Resorts team for the tireless effort required to get us here. There is much work ahead as we remain focused on the health and safety of our employees and guests, but this is an important moment for us."
Park MGM is The Strip's newest destination resort, having been completed in late 2018, and has quickly become one of the city's go-to places for entertainment, dining and more. While amenities will be limited initially at the opening, guests will be able to enjoy many of the resort's most popular outlets including the vibrant Italian marketplace, Eataly; Bavette's Steakhouse; Primrose; and the pool.
NoMad Las Vegas, the intimate luxury hotel-within-a-hotel at Park MGM, also will begin welcoming guests on September 30. Days and hours of operation at all venues will vary.
Anton Nikodemus, President of MGM Resorts' Las Vegas Portfolio, said, "As we looked toward our reopening, we identified an opportunity to be responsive to recurring guest demand for a fully non-smoking casino resort on The Strip. With an expansive Las Vegas portfolio, MGM Resorts is able to offer an array of options for visitors, all within the MGM Resorts family."
The Company also noted that its Four Seasons Las Vegas property will reopen on September 25.
