BlueWater will compensate all of its employees during the lockdown.

All bars and restaurants at the BlueWater, including the River’s Edge Cantina, are also closed.
The BlueWater’s statement stated their employees will be “fully compensated” during the closure. They said the reason they had stayed open this long was they did not want to cause financial hardship for their employees.
