LAS VEGAS – Guy Fieri's Las Vegas Kitchen Bar has closed at the Linq Hotel after a worker tested positive for coronavirus.

When the hotel learned that an employee had tested positive for COVID-19, it contacted the health department and started working with them to conduct an investigation to determine who had been in close proximity to that employee, according to a Caesars Entertainment statement to the Reno Gazette Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.

Caesars Entertainment did not say when the worker tested positive or when the restaurant will reopen.

The positive test comes one day after a pair of Flamingo employees tested positive for the contagious illness.

Caesars Entertainment confirmed the cases Friday but would not say where the employees worked inside the iconic Strip hotel-casino. 

"Contact tracing protocols were followed," Caesar's Entertainment spokesman Richard Broome said in an email to the Reno Gazette Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.

Earlier in the week, an employee at the Bellagio's Mayfair Supper Club tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the restaurant to temporarily close. 

The closure comes two weeks after casinos opened in the wake of a pandemic shutdown that lasted almost three months.

    How ‘real girl’ Johanna Garcia broke out of her toy kitchen

    Gambar
    Girl, interrupted? You might say that about Johanna Garcia of food purveyor Real Girl, Toy Kitchen (who also happens to be one of the writers of this section). Garcia used to work as the communications director of HSBC Philippines from 2007 to 2013, until the thought of starting up her own food business began to seem more appetizing than her corporate job. Actually, Johanna's "Real Girl" story begins in New York City, where she studied communications at Fordham University and did PR for a pharmaceutical company. "You either live on takeout, which is so unhealthy, or really expensive restaurants, which you can't afford. So I learned how to cook there." Growing up she had also learned from her mom, whom Johanna describes as "an excellent cook," and loves watching cooking shows to unwind. Her fave domestic goddesses are Ina Garten, Martha Stewart and Nigella Lawson — "The trifecta! One day I want to be the...

    'Business is the best thing to change society' says Ella's Kitchen founder Paul Lindley

    Gambar
    In 2018, Paul Lindley stepped away from Ella's Kitchen, the organic baby food brand he started and named after his daughter, to become a champion of children's nutrition and welfare internationally. After selling the brand in 2013 to Hain Celestial, seven years after founding it, he knew there were other challenges to face. He has since become the UK chair of Robert Kennedy Human Rights and a Trustee of Sesame Workshop – the creators behind Sesame Street, and a counsellor for One Young World, among other things. He enjoys keeping busy, he explains. "What I tried to do after Ella's Kitchen was step away and think about what really interests me in life. I've got lots of years left hopefully where I can make a difference and I focused on making business work better for our economy and for our society and what is the purpose of business and then trying to use entrepreneurship in non-business or not-for-profit business areas. Some fantastic stuff is happening with socia...

    Take a Look Inside Tamra Judge’s Amazingly Organized Kitchen

    Gambar
    When it comes to her home, Tamra Judge is living by the motto, "An organized home means an organized life." The Real Housewives of Orange County alum recently shared a peek inside her freshly reorganized and decluttered pantry — and let's just say, the result is downright impressive. After recruiting luxury home organization firm Simply Seaside Organizing for help in straightening out the kitchen and master bathroom, Tamra took to Instagram to share a look at the newly immaculate space, beginning with her pantry. As captured in the series of photos below, the food storage area is now the epitome of organization goals, with cans, spices, snacks, and other items neatly arranged and separated in rows of labeled baskets and plastic containers. Several cabinets around the kitchen, including those above the counter and under the sink, have also been reorganized to efficiently display dishes, mugs, water bottles, and even c...
