Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The ARIA Resort and Casino received a $12,617 fine for an alleged violation of Nevada's COVID-19 workplace safety measures, state officials said Monday.
The resort had what was termed a "lack of social distancing at point-of-sale terminals used by employees," according to the Division of Industrial Relations. The citation came after a complaint or referral filed with Nevada OSHA triggered an investigation.
MGM Resorts International, ARIA's parent company, says it will be fighting the fine, with a spokesman saying MGM “does not believe it has violated any safety laws.”
MGM now has 30 days to appeal the fine. If they choose to do so, OSHA will then hear their case and issue a ruling.
Nevada OSHA has issued 177 notices and citations related to COVID-19 measures since mid-March.
