2022 IGNITE Conference Know Before You Go

Masks

Per the local government ordinance, masks are not mandatory. If you wish to wear a mask and have misplaced or forgotten one, we will have extra masks available on site.

Hand Sanitizer Stations

Several hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout our meeting space for easy access on site.

Following CDC guidance and rules set forth by the State of Nevada, masks are no longer required to be worn indoors. Masks will still be provided upon request.

Even before COVID-19, mask-wearing was a routine occurrence in many cultures across the globe. We have learned that mask-wearing helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 and also helps reduce the spread of the common cold and flu. As the prevalence of mask-wearing recedes within the U.S., we recognize some of our guests will still choose to wear a mask; MGM Resorts respects those who want to further protect themselves and those around them. Additionally, gloves will be worn by employees who require them to do their jobs.
