Some Las Vegas casino and restaurant workers are pushing back on Mayor Carolyn Goodman's repeated calls to reopen the city's economy.
"Health and safety is our priority -- workers and guests have to be safe," said Arguello-Kline, adding that 11 union members had lost their lives to the virus."We want people back to work, but it has to be safe and secure and we don't want workers to be part of an experiment. Workplaces need to be safe and healthy -- not a Petri dish."

President Donald Trump, who owns Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, expressed tacit approval of Sisolak's wait-and-see approach during a White House coronavirus briefing on Sunday."They closed a big hotel down in Nevada that I have in Las Vegas. It's a very severe step he took. I'm OK with it," Trump said."But you could call that one either way."
