“The Bicycle Hotel & Casino has a long-standing commitment to the health and safety of our patrons and employees. This commitment is the focal point of our health and sanitation program for reopening in a safe environment,” said the statement on the casino’s website. “This plan was developed after consulting all available information and guidance from the CDC and state and local public health agencies and in collaboration with medical experts from UCLA and USC. The goal of the plan is to provide for significantly enhanced sanitation and safety protocols and to ensure that employees, vendors, and customers are able to visit our properties and participate in our games while keeping safe and helping mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”

In order to best identify and trace players in the event of a positive test, player cards will be required for all gaming. This will allow the casino to better identify and notify players who might have been exposed. There are plans in place for removing guest suites and gaming tables from service in the case of a positive test identified in that area for disinfecting and sanitization.
Meetings and banquet services will remain temporarily suspended for the time being, as will the Phoenix Cafe. The Bike Brewery will be open with limited seating and takeout service.
