We always perform routine environmental cleaning and we adhere to the recommendations set forth in the U.S. EPA Emerging Pathogen Policy regarding cleaning and disinfectants. In addition to our usual cleaning procedures we have dedicated staff to focus exclusively on the safeguards we are putting in place throughout the resort, these include:

Additional restroom attendants to wipe down counters and stalls with disinfectant.
Additional staff to disinfect high touchpoints more regularly including escalator rails, elevator buttons and handrails.
Hand sanitizing stations readily available throughout the resort, Congress Center and Sands Expo Convention Center.

In the casino we have brought in additional team members to disinfect slot machines, pits and chairs on a consistent basis.
In the poker room we have team members on hand to wipe down all armrests with disinfectant between games.

We are encouraging our team members and guests to take the same precautions against COVID-19 that are taken to combat the common cold and flu viruses. We encourage our team members and guests to adhere to the following guidelines:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 30 seconds.
Refrain from shaking hands.

We are prepared to follow any additional protocols or guidance from CDC and SNHD, as they are made available.

TI Las Vegas Health & Safety Policies

Treasure Island Hotel & Casino ("TI") is focused on the health and safety of our guests and employees. We are closely monitoring government policy changes and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Nevada Gaming Control Board as well as federal, state and local government mandates and any other public health advancements, and will continue to make changes as necessary or appropriate to our protocols and procedures.

TI uses cleaning products and protocols that meet all CDC, Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, which are approved for use and effective against viruses, bacteria and other airborne and blood borne pathogens. TI continues to work with our vendors, distribution partners and suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of these cleaning supplies and necessary personal protective equipment.

These policies are subject to change, and will be updated as guidance from the afrorementioned agencies evolve.

GUEST POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Security Temperature Screenings: To help provide safety measures for both employees and guests, TI Security will implement a non-invasive temperature scan of all overnight hotel guests upon arrival in designated entrance area(s) where hotel guests will be required to maintain and practice social distancing policies. In the event screening shows a temperature equal to or greater than 100.4 degrees ("fever"), the guest(s) will be asked to wait in a desiganted area for 15-minutes prior to retesting. The guest(s) will be denied access to the property only if the second test is also positive for a fever, or pursuant to then-current CDC guidelines. In addition, based on SNHD guidelines, all guests with a fever will be referred to a medical hotline for assessment.

Social Distancing: Guests are advised to practice physical social distancing by standing at least six (6) feet away from other groups of people while standing in all public areas, and limiting elevator occupancy to four (4) people. In the event guest issues may arise, TI Security will be contacted to immediately advise guests of social distancing rules. In addition, plexiglass shields are placed in locations in which frequent face-to-face interactions may take place such as the front desk, cashier stations, etc.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Disposable face masks will be available at the front desk and other various locations on property for guest use.

TRUMP HOTELS - Our Commitment to Health and Safety

Trump Hotels has a long-standing commitment to providing impeccably clean properties, with a focus on ensuring the health and safety of our associates, guests and residents. As the Covid-19 situation began to impact our communities in early March, we implemented additional practices and procedures in furtherance of this commitment, following guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as our federal, state and local government, and on top of our already extensive cleaning measures as a luxury, five-star hotel brand.

These practices and procedures include:

Associate Training and Awareness:

In conjunction with Ecolab, we have increased our associate training. In early March, all Trump hotels participated in on-site training conducted by Ecolab's Ecosure team. Training included practical guidance to help reduce the risk of infection related to COVID-19, with emphasis on cleaning, disinfecting, and both personal and environmental hygiene.
Associates have also been instructed on CDC recommended social distancing practices, including maintaining at least 6 feet of distance from others when possible.
In situations and locations where required or recommended by state or local government, associates have been provided cloth face coverings.
Health & Safety postings emphasizing frequent handwashing and ways to prevent the spread of illness have been posted in areas frequented by associates as a reminder of the importance of good hygiene.
Associates are regularly instructed on the importance of staying at home if they are unwell or if they have experienced a potential exposure to COVID-19.

Cleaning Practices:

We have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting public areas, including door handles, handrails, bathroom surfaces, front desk surfaces, elevators, and elevator buttons. We are also cleaning and disinfecting all guest room keys daily.
We have selected Ecolab products that are EPA registered, heavy-duty, hospital grade disinfectants.

Sanitizing Stations:

Throughout our properties we have positioned hand sanitizers for guests, residents and associates.

Wynn Las Vegas Health and Disinfection Program

Employee & Guest Health
The health and safety of our employees and guests is our number one priority.

Thermal Cameras. Points of entry will be limited to allow our security team to conduct non-invasive temperature checks utilizing thermal cameras. Anyone displaying a temperature over 100.0°F1 will be taken to a private area for a secondary temporal temperature screening. Employees or guests confirmed to have a temperature over 100.0°F will not be allowed entry to the property and will be directed towards appropriate medical care.
Physical Distancing. Guests will be advised to practice physical distancing by standing at least six feet away from other groups of people not traveling with them while standing in lines, waiting for elevators or moving around the property. Restaurant tables, slot machines and other physical layouts will be arranged to ensure appropriate distancing. Employees will be reminded not to touch their faces and to practice physical distancing by standing at least six feet away from guests and other employees whenever possible. All resort outlets will comply with, or exceed, local or state mandated occupancy limits.
Hand Sanitizer. Hand sanitizer dispensers, touchless whenever possible, will be placed at key guest and employee entrances and contact areas such as driveways, reception areas, hotel lobbies, the casino floor, restaurant entrances, meeting and convention spaces, elevator landings, pools, salons and exercise areas. Hand lotion, to prevent skin from drying out due to frequent sanitizing, will also be provided in guest rooms and throughout the back of house (in touchless dispensers) for employees.

Employee & Guest Health Concerns. Our employees have been given clear instructions on how to respond swiftly and report all presumed cases of COVID-19 on property to the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD). We will be ready to provide support to our guests. Employees are instructed to stay home if they do not feel well and are instructed to contact a manager if they notice a coworker or guest displaying or complaining of a cough, fever, shortness of breath, chills, a new loss of taste or smell, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or other known symptoms of COVID-19. Employees and guests who are exhibiting any of the symptoms of COVID-19 while at the property are instructed to immediately notify their manager (employees) or hotel security (guests). A certified emergency medical technician (EMT) will be on site 24 hours per day during the initial re-opening period.
Case Notification. If we are alerted to a presumptive case of COVID-19 at the resort, we will work with the SNHD to follow its recommended protocols.
