Employees were notified Friday in a company-wide letter from MGM President and COO Bill Hornbuckle.
“As the nation grapples with the effort to contain the coronavirus, the travel industry has been challenged, and our company is no different,” Hornbuckle wrote. “Business demand has decreased significantly. In response, we will temporarily close MGM Northfield Park tonight and have suspended operations of all nightclubs and day clubs. Our spas and salons will suspend operations as of Monday.
Hornbuckle said “several” of those employees have tested positive for coronavirus, although he did not say at which locations. MGM’s announcement signals troubled times ahead for Las Vegas. The city’s conference and convention business has suffered a string of cancellations as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, and that means lost revenue across the city.
Are they going to pay employees like Wynn is during the time they are closed? Or is it MGM doesn't care as much about it's employees as Wynn does.
