Nearly 500 tourism businesses, including 12 based in Nevada, have signed on to a letter to congressional leaders from the U.S. Travel Association pleading for an end to the government shutdown stalemate.
MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment Inc., The Venetian, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority were among the signees in a letter to four leaders of the U.S. Senate and House asking for “a clean continuing resolution to reopen the federal government.”
The letter comes as the shutdown closes in Tuesday on the record 35 days in 2018-19, and airports around the nation experience flight delays because some air traffic controllers, unpaid since the Oct. 1 start of the shutdown, are not reporting for work.
