Las Vegas officials stormed a hotel and shut down the Mrs Nevada beauty pageant for violating social distancing rules, just days after the same hotel was fined for hosting a Evangelicals for Trump event.
The City of Las Vegas Business Licensing shut down Mrs Nevada on Sunday evening after the crowd size was found to be in violation of Nevada mandates brought in to combat the spread of coronavirus.
Contestants vying to be the next Mrs. Nevada America were left competing in an empty room at the Ahern Hotel in Las Vegas after attendees were ordered to leave.
Currently in the state of Nevada, public and private gatherings are limited to 50 or fewer people and everyone must be wearing face masks.

One attendee estimated that there about 200 attendees - 150 over the limit - the Las Vegas Review Journal reported.
City spokesman Jace Radke said in a statement that the event violated the order 'by attempting to hold the Mrs. Nevada pageant with spectators.'
Footage taken at the event shows City officials entering the hotel and asking attendees to leave the venue.
Everyone left voluntarily and no citations were issued.
Once the crowd had left, the pageant was permitted to continue in the emptied room.
Going forward, the pageant will be allowed to continue with crowds of 50 people or less.
The City of Las Vegas said they had attempted to notify the Ahern Hotel that the pageant would not comply with Gov. Steve Sisolak's mandate.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the City said: 'The City and @LMVPD found that the Ahern Hotel is in violation of the governor's safety directives by attempting to hold the Mrs. Nevada pageant with spectators.
'Business Licensing accompanied by Metro Police did visit the property tonight and the event was stopped.
'Earlier in the weekend we attempted to notify the Ahern Hotel that the pageant would violate the governor's directives, but our licensing officer was escorted off property by hotel security.
'We will have additional information tomorrow.'
It comes just a few days after the Ahern Hotel was issued a $250 civil penalty for hosting the Evangelical for Trump event.
The group held the event to push back at the governor's 50-person gathering limit, according to 8NewsNow.
The event was not attended by Trump.
