Closed at Las Vegas Hotel etc. Boxing Naoya Inoue's game also affected March 8 at 8:49

As the spread of the new coronavirus continues, Las Vegas casinos and hotels, which are often visited by Japanese tourists, have been closed one after another. Las Vegas, Nevada is the center of the show business, where professional boxing matches and other events are held, and there are concerns that these events will be affected.

MGM Resorts International, an American casino giant, announced today that all casinos and hotels in Las Vegas will be closed by the 17th to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

The timing of reopening is not disclosed and reservations prior to May 1 are not accepted at this time.

Win Resorts, a fellow entrepreneur, will also close Las Vegas hotels for two weeks starting on the 17th.

MGM casinos and hotels are popular tourist spots for Japanese people, and are also the venue for the world's largest technology trade show, CES.

At the MGM event center, Naoya Inoue, the union champion of the two groups at the boxing and world bantam class, will have a unified match on the 25th of next month, but there are concerns about the impact on the event.
