A week ago, Nevada was averaging around 240 new cases a day. It is now almost 800.
This isn't up there with Florida's 10,000, but you have to wonder about out-of state visitors taking home a souvenir.

At that rate of growth, you get to 8,900 in 2 more weeks. Now, I don't expect it to move that fast, but that's the math.
My question is what changes the curve. 'Cause I don't see enough people willing to change anything.

Not only is Vegas not rolling back things. More stuff is opening.Here is just a litte of it.
Fireworks will be on display over the Plaza Hotel-Casino on Saturday night to celebrate Independence Day. Other fireworks displays will begin at 9 p.m. Saturday at the M Resort on Las Vegas Boulevard, about 11 miles south of Mandalay Bay; Red Rock Resort in the northwest part of Las Vegas; and Green Valley Ranch in suburban Henderson.
Still, visitors should know that Las Vegas and the entire state of Nevada are under a mandatory mask policy for everyone, except when in private homes. That means wearing a face covering in casinos, resorts and other public areas. The order followed a sharp rise in the number of people infected with the coronavirus.
These places are set to reopen in time for this weekend:
Aria, Delano, Four Seasons, Mandalay Bay and Waldorf Astoria will start welcoming guests Wednesday. This brings to 23 the number of reopened resorts on the Strip. At Aria, Catch, Jean Georges Steakhouse and Salt & Ivy are open too.
At Mandalay Bay, Shark Reef Aquarium and several bars and restaurants have reopened. At Waldorf Astoria, guests can dine at Zen Kitchen and enjoy drinks, small bites and amazing views of the Strip from SkyBar on the 23rd floor.
The Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas and the Fly Linq at Linq Promenade will send visitors soaring starting Thursday.
Two popular day clubs — Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria and Wet Republic Ultra Pool at MGM Grand — will reopen Thursday too. They'll be open Thursdays to Sundays, and reservations are required.
Here's what's already open:
Luxor and the adjoining Shoppes at Mandalay Place. At Luxor, the HyperX Esports Arena for high-tech gamers is open, along with a handful of bars and restaurants, including Diablo’s Cantina and Pyramid Café.
At the Shoppes, the popular Minus5 Ice Experience provides the chill as Vegas temperatures rise to triple digits. It's located on a skywalk linking Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Several other bars and restaurants also have reopened.
The Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas will reopen Thursday. Diners can watch the Bellagio fountains while they eat.
Paris opened its hotel, casino and pool as well as dining options such as Gordon Ramsay Steak and the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, with stunning views of the Fountains of Bellagio across the street.
The Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas opened, but self-serve steam tables have been removed. The Buffet at Wynn returned, but can you still call it a buffet? Diners are still seated in the same prepandemic elegant dining area, but the long steam tables full of food have disappeared. Instead of standing in line, plate in hand, diners never have to leave their tables to savor dozens of different dishes. They simply order from a menu featuring photos and descriptions of roughly 90 offerings, including double-cut lamb chops with truffle spinach and crispy onions, Old Bay braised shrimp and scallops with a spicy tomato compote, and steak and lobster in a Béarnaise sauce. It’s still "all you can eat," but there’s a two-hour time limit. T
It goes on and on.
