In today’s COVID era, Las Vegas is open. However, even with masks and vaccine requirements, you still want to feel safe about letting loose. One way to know for sure that you are safe is to get tested. Whether you’re staying at The STRAT, the Mandalay Bay or anywhere in between, there is a conveniently located COVID testing on the Strip, just for you.
According to the CDC’s testing information, COVID tests can “detect either SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, or antibodies that your body makes after getting COVID-19 or after getting vaccinated.”
What Kind of COVID Tests Are There?
There are two main types of tests, Laboratory and Rapid. Laboratory or lab testing can use either a nasal swab or saliva to check. Lab tests usually take anywhere from one to three days for results and are generally reliable for those with and without symptoms. Rapid tests are the most convenient option with a nasal swab and results come through in about 30 minutes. The only drawback to rapid testing lies in asymptomatic persons. If you don’t have symptoms, you may not test accurately with a rapid test. You may need a secondary test to ensure that you are safe and healthy.
Despite being cautious, you never know who you might have come into contact with. Keep your peace of mind and visit any of the following locations for your test today.

Consult a doctor as soon as possible to begin treatments if you have symptoms. If you do not have symptoms, isolate until you have a negative result and then resume your daily activity.
