Thousands of Boyd Gaming Corp. employees across the country, including those working at the company’s 12 operations in Southern Nevada, have received letters warning of possible impending layoffs.

“It is very difficult to predict what business levels will look like when we reopen, and how long it will take for business to recover to normal levels,” a company statement Wednesday said. “While we are trying to be as transparent as possible with our team members, we cannot determine at this time exactly how many team members will be recalled to work, and how many will need to be laid off. As a result, in accordance with applicable laws, we are providing notice to a portion of our workforce of the possibility for layoffs.”
