LAS VEGAS (AP) — Large events like concerts and football games in one of the nation’s entertainment capitals will be able to exempt themselves from mask rules if they require guests to show proof of vaccination.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced hours later a plan to not require masks for fully vaccinated fans at games.
