LAS VEGAS (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The Governor of Nevada announced Tuesday he would order the closure of non-essential businesses to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The order will last a minimum of 30 days for all non-essenital businesses, including but not limited to, entertainment & hospitality, including but not limited to strip clubs and brothels, casinos, concert venues, arenas, auditoriums, stadiums, large conference rooms, meeting halls, and cafeterias; recreation and athletic facilities, including but not limited to community and recreation centers, gyms, health clubs, fitness centers, yoga, barre and spin facilities; beauty and personal care services and facilities, including but not limited to barber shops, beauty, tanning, waxing hair salons, and nail salons and spas; and retail facilities, including shopping malls except for pharmacy or other health care facilities within retail operations.
In addition, Governor Sisolak said that the only businesses that should remain open are those that are essential for the community, such as healthcare providers and businesses that provide food, shelter, or critical social services for disadvantaged populations.
But one strip club said it will continue to remain open, despite the order, KSNV-TV reports.
Little Darlings, owned by Deja Vu in Las Vegas, said it will remain open, because it continues to abide by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "social distancing" guidelines.
Ryan Carlson, director of operations, told KSNV it will continue its tradition of offering nude dancing for 30 years. Guests who are interested in "further separation" will be able to view drive-thru strip shows starting on Friday, March 20.
"And on Saturday, we will be launching our new feature show at midnight, XXX Nude Hand Sanitizer Wrestling," Carlson added.
Carlson explained that "the world cannot stop turning for a cold."
According to the order issued by the Governor, Little Darlings was classified as "non-essential."
