Wynn Resorts, pushing to get more of its employees vaccinated against Covid-19, recently said that the Wynn Las Vegas will now require all staff to either get fully vaccinated or obtain weekly proof of a negative Covid-19 test.

In a video update, Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox said that around 4,000 Wynn Las Vegas employees, or nearly 60% of the staff that have been called back to work, are already vaccinated.

"The roaring 20s are right around the corner for Las Vegas, and this summer could be extraordinary," said Maddox. "However, one of the things that our regulators have said publicly is that in order for the restrictions to continue to be lifted, we need to continue to see increases in vaccination of our staff."

Wynn employees have been able to access vaccinations at the Wynn Las Vegas' onsite University Medical Center Vaccination Clinic at Encore since mid-January. As of April 8, the clinic reported that it has administered a total of approximately 50,000 vaccines since its debut.

The Wynn Las Vegas is also home to an on-property Lighthouse Covid-19 testing lab.

"We want to ensure that this is the safest place to visit, the safest place for our staff, the safest place to work," said Maddox.
