They include:

Live! Casino & Hotel: Drag Brunch begins at noon every Sunday. Your $25 fee includes entry, seating, and viewing of the show. Beverages and food are available a la carte for paid guests. Tickets are available in advance online. Previous shows have sold out, so if you’re interested, it’s best to buy ahead of time.

Do I need a mask or a vaccine card at the casino?

Here are the current protocols at each property.

Hollywood: All guests must wear face masks except when actively eating, drinking, or taking medication regardless of vaccination status. At this time, guests are not required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR test for entry.
Horseshoe: Caesars’ corporate policy is for its properties to follow local guidelines. On Aug. 5, Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott reinstated a mandate that requires all persons to wear face masks indoors in places like casinos, regardless of vaccination status. Patrons do not have to prove they are vaccinated or show a negative test to enter the casino.
Live! Casino & Hotel: All guests need to wear face masks regardless of vaccination status. Guests may temporarily lower masks when drinking, eating, and taking medication. Again, there’s no requirement for guests to submit proof of either a negative test or vaccine.
MGM National Harbor: Akin to Caesars, MGM puts the onus for its properties on local guidance. Prince George’s County requires all people, regardless of vaccination status, to wear face masks indoors. Vaccination cards or negative test results are not a condition for entry.
Ocean Downs Casino: Ocean requires unvaccinated and vaccinated people alike to wear face masks while on-site except when drinking, eating, or taking medication. Guests do not have to show a negative test or vaccination card to get in.
Rocky Gap Casino: Whether or not you’re vaccinated, you need to wear a face mask unless you’re actively drinking, eating, or taking medication. Like the other properties, you don’t have to show a negative test or vaccine to enter.
