A look south on Las Vegas Boulevard to nearly empty streets and sidewalks due to the mandatory shutdown of all non-essential businesses in the State of Nevada in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Governor Steve Sisolak has ordered casinos and non-essential businesses to shutdown as the potentially deadly coronavirus spreads.
