What They're Saying: Roger Tabor

“[Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak] talked about wanting to protect the economy, and it contributes to the economy. The hotels are still open, but he just took away 10,000 room nights. I can’t find the connection to fully absorb it. But it’s devastating.”

-- Roger Tabor, the tournament director of the City of Las Vegas Mayor’s Cup Invitational Tournament, which had more than 1,100 teams registered to play during the first two weekends of December, on the Sisolak's decision on Sunday night to order a "statewide pause" in response to a spike on COVID-19 cases in Nevada. Many business -- including casinos -- were reduced to 25 percent occupancy but not closed, but Sisolak said adult and youth sports tournaments are paused, starting Tuesday. (Las Vegas Review Journal)
