I don't want to take too much time on it, but I don't know if Vegas World had to meet the definition of a Resort Hotel after 1991, which did require 24 hour dining.
"NRS 463.01865 “Resort hotel” defined. “Resort hotel” means any building or group of buildings that is maintained as and held out to the public to be a hotel where sleeping accommodations are furnished to the transient public and that has:
1. In a county whose population:
(a) Is 700,000 or more, more than 200 rooms available for sleeping accommodations; or
(b) Is 100,000 or more and less than 700,000, more than 300 rooms available for sleeping accommodations;
2. At least one bar with permanent seating capacity for more than 30 patrons that serves alcoholic beverages sold by the drink for consumption on the premises;
3. At least one restaurant with permanent seating capacity for more than 60 patrons that is open to the public 24 hours each day and 7 days each week; and
4. A gaming area within the building or group of buildings"
Sometimes a particular licensee might have to meet negotiated conditions. (I think my recollection of some requirement of an amenity, might have been a negotiated condition for a resort hotel I was counsel for around 1991. Among other conditions were GCB appointment of a outside representative who held regular review meetings with the management and owners. The subject of some amenity being required, perhaps as a condition of deeming the premises suitable, did get discussed, and the provision of a swimming pool , with an adjacent rose garden, was a satisfactory answer.
I have no special knowledge of whether Vegas World was "grandfathered in" with respect to the statutory 24/7 restaurant requirement,; a 24/7 restaurant could have been a condition on keeping its specific license ,(perhaps related to a 1991 negotiated resolution of some other matter that threatened its gaming license, like the prepaid vacation package sales issues) Cf.

fwiw, this basically predated any Coronavirus las Vegas issues , the topic of this thread, by almost 30 years.
