LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Several businesses are opening to the public Saturday, as Nevada begins its Phase 1 reopening plan from Gov. Steve Sisolak.
Business owners and residents have told 13 Action News that they are excited about the reopening plan starting, but certain things are still going to look a bit different than the way it was before the pandemic.

-Strip clubs and brothels
-Spas, tanning salons, massage parlors, body art & body piercing establishments
