More than a dozen unincorporated Clark County businesses have had their business licenses suspended for remaining open during a government-ordered shutdown in Nevada as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The county Business License Department has issued emergency suspensions between Saturday and Wednesday after each of the businesses disregarded Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak's order to shut down all nonessential businesses.
County officials say the 14 businesses shut down by the county included five liquor establishments.Â
In another development, Las Vegas and Clark County officials on Saturday announced the opening of a temporary shelter for homeless people in a parking lot to temporarily replace a shelter temporarily closed after a homeless man tested positive for the coronavirus.
