And that is the problem in a country like US, they have so much freedom that anyone can be liable for a lawsuit. And I don't think that the government are going to protect them in the first place. And I also doubt that there is really a case when you find yourself as a business being sued by someone as this is hard to proved in a court of law.

This is an invisible enemy that we are facing, and we don't know when we are going to be infected in the first place.

This is bound to open it's a choice between the economy and the health and it's not only on Las Vegas but every country where infection is very high and people are fighting to keep the money flowing in or lower the infection it's lock down or work it's the choice that it's hard to deal with, Las Vegas wants to save these casinos because it's the city's bread and butter.

They ask to operate then why are they afraid of lawsuits?

There are protocols to be followed, if they will imposed it strictly, I don't think they will be afraid of a lawsuit.
What do they think of themselves, operating a business without sense of responsibility?

I think operating in Open Space with Barriers (probably stanchions like barriers used in banks), plus others important safety measures seem to be one of the most sensible measures to take to protect customers, workers and the employers. These should make it hard for them to have a successful case against the good/safe betting businesses/casinos. That will become  good proofs that the businesses are doing the right thing hence unlikely to spread the disease to people.

Since the casinos opened in the June , even though the cases of Corona virus were rising and it was deemed a bad idea by most , unfortunately the regulations did not go well.

Now the small business based casinos have urged the Government to spare them of Lawsuits that might cause their whole business to shut down.

Lawsuits like *I got infected here , there was no sanitization* and boom , you are in the news and finally the casino needs to be shut down.

Now I do think this will be very unlikely that Government will make an exception regarding this since time and again we have seen that people don't follow the rules themselves , most of them don't even know how to use the masks , what did the casinos expect ? This was bound to happen . That is the whole reason why online casinos and gambling sites are fluorishing during this time .

-If the Government does this, most casinos might get away with cleaning and sanitization problems , if they don't some casinos are bound to shut down sooner or later.

Quote
The Nevada Resort Association has urged Nevada's lawmakers and governor to pass legislation that protects casinos and small businesses from frivolous lawsuits

Other trade bodies and executives warn that small businesses are vulnerable to liabilities and that should be limited quickly to avoid further economic slump

The argument goes that it's nearly impossible to prove where an employee got infected and if a business is directly responsible

They shouldn't have opened up in the first place , they could have might as well invested in an online site during the time and they could even buy stakes in some online Gambling site and wait , since coronavirus is not going to go anywhere until and unless strict restrictions are going to be followed , which is better for the business in the long term
