Caesars Adds More Worker Shot Clinics After Regulatory Call

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A big casino company is expanding employee coronavirus vaccination clinics to more of its Las Vegas properties, days after state regulators prodded employers to make it easier for workers to get shots.

Caesars Entertainment scheduled in-house shot drives in coming days at its Bally's, Caesars Palace and Flamingo properties.

Regulators on Friday tied employee vaccinations to plans that companies are submitting in hopes of raising gambling floor capacity limits beginning May 1.
