Cincinnati’s casinos are now open 24 hours after a statewide curfew by Governor Mike DeWine has expired.
After nearly three months of curfew, Ohioans can visit bars and restaurants until the early hours, and the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati and Belterra Park Casino are now open 24/7. Miami Valley Gaming also has extended hours – 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. – but closed for the four hours to clean thoroughly. It stays open 24/7 on the weekends.
The original curfew – from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. – was set as a compromise with the Ohio bar and restaurant industry rather than closing stores during the recent surge in the spread of COVID-19. It was reset to 11pm two weeks ago.
