It’s a sure sign of the times when the coolest souvenir you can pick up at the airport is a mask.
Better yet, this one is free and will no doubt become a collectible.
In Nevada, as in many states around the country right now, everyone is required to wear face coverings in public spaces due to concerns about COVID-19.
Heads up if you’re flying to or from Las Vegas … The governor of Nevada announced today that face coverings in public spaces will be required effective 11:59 p.m. Thursday, June 25. Be sure to follow the house rules and #MaskUp at LAS! 😷#AllinLAS pic.twitter.com/hH6KvEjsKV

Even if not officially required, wearing a face-mask over your nose and mouth is proper etiquette right now. Like washing your hands often, it’s also an easy tool to help keep you and others healthy.
As it does with so many things, recently-reopened Las Vegas is having a bit of fun promoting the state’s face-mask requirement.
The tourism bureau sent showgirls to McCarran International Airport (LAS) to alert arriving passengers to the new rule. And to hand out free face masks.

Heading that way? McCarran International (LAS) has a long list of other ways it is working to make sure the airport is safe and clean for travelers and a fun Vegas-themed campaign of its own.
