Nevada is reshaping its casino landscape just as the U.S. enters the busy Labor Day weekend. Regulators have endorsed sweeping reforms to private salon rules, slashing entry thresholds from $300,000 to $20,000 and adding poker for the first time. The move comes amid tourism declines and rising competition from states like Florida, Nebraska, and North Carolina. By broadening access, Nevada aims to revive Las Vegas and sustain America’s casino tourism boom.
