This May 13, 2020 photo shows the Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza located 55 miles northeast of downtown Las Vegas.

The tribal casino closed in mid-March, leaving the primary remaining source of tribal revenue the Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza truck stop, gas station and convenience store on Interstate 15 near Valley of Fire State Park.
