LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Gilley's at Treasure Island reopened on Wednesday after it was temporarily shut down by the Southern Nevada Health District.
Gilley's officials sent the following statement to Channel 13:
"Following Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-Be-Cue's temporary closure yesterday, the restaurant has conducted all repairs and maintenance has met all requirements of the Southern Nevada Health District. Gilley's is now open again and looks forward to welcoming back guests."
Health district officials also confirmed the venue was allowed to reopen.
The Southern Nevada Health District ordered the restaurant to temporarily close on Tuesday after health inspectors "observed that food was being prepared in the kitchen while construction was underway," SNHD officials stated.
They added the venue would be allowed to reopen "when corrective action has taken place."
As of Wednesday, Formula 1's Las Vegas Grand Prix was just 50 days away and Gilley's is an official venue for the race.
According to casino officials, they will offer a three-night viewing package, from Nov. 16 though Nov. 18, from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. each night.
