Las Vegas is pushing to reopen more hotels, restaurants, shops and activities as the long Fourth of July weekend approaches. The Strip as well as downtown continued to spring back to life after Fremont Street Experience and the Bellagio’s famed fountains returned June 4.
Bear in mind, stay-at-home orders issued by Los Angeles County and California remain in place during the coronavirus pandemic. Right now residents are asked to delay vacation travel that takes them far from home. However, Southern California may plan a future getaway in Vegas and elsewhere.
By the Fourth of July, 21 of the roughly 35 resorts along The Strip will be open and joining in the celebrations.

- Excalibur: It reopened Thursday, the fifth of the MGM Resorts properties to open their doors to guests. Inside the castle walls, guests can enjoy gaming, a limited number of bars and restaurants, the pool complex, fitness center and Fun Dungeon Arcade.
- Caesars Palace: The hotel-casino reopened last week. Now the sprawling Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis, complete with a swim-up gaming area, reopens Friday. So, too, does the resort’s race and sports book. The resort’s Restaurant Guy Savoy will return June 24.

- The Linq: The hotel remains closed, but the casino will be up and running, as will several bars and restaurants, on Friday. For dining options, Hash House A Go Go will open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar will open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday to Sunday. Influence, the resort’s pool, will start welcoming guests 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The High Roller Ferris wheel at the Linq Promenade is open with a limit of 10 passengers per cabin to allow for social distancing. (Before the mid-March shutdown, it was 40.)
- Big Elvis, a.k.a. Pete Vallee, is the first performer to return to Harrah’s, which opened June 5. The act that has been a Vegas stalwart for years returns at 2, 3:30 and 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Harrah’s Piano Bar — and it’s free. Big Elvis will add Thursday performances starting next week. Major headlining shows, for the most part, have been canceled for the near future.
- Kenny Davidsen’s Celebrity Piano Bar: The bar a few blocks east of the Strip along Flamingo Road has relaunched at the Tuscany hotel-casino. In this pandemic era, the lounge has a wall of plexiglass that separates audience members from the stage. Shows start at 8:45 p.m. on Fridays.
Next on the horizon, the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, about a mile east of the Strip on Paradise Road, is scheduled to open its doors June 18. The site was once known as the International and later the Las Vegas Hilton, where Elvis Presley once lived in the penthouse on the 30th floor. Elvis may have left the building, but his statue remains in the lobby.
MGM Resorts will continue reopening properties over the coming weeks. “We are eager to get more of our employees back to work and enhance the Las Vegas experience with additional resorts,” William Hornbuckle, acting CEO and president of MGM Resorts, said in a news release.
The Luxor will again welcome guests later in June.
