In honor of the 200th episode of his hit show ‘Bar Rescue,’ Jon Taffer writes about the heavy toll COVID-19 took on his home town of Las Vegas, and what must be done to revive it.
Jon Taffer is the creator, host and executive producer of Paramount Networks’ No. 1 show, Bar Rescue, which spotlights Jon as he saves failing bars from looming closure. In addition to being a New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, Jon also launched Taffer’s Mixologist, a line of craft, high-quality, pre-made cocktail mixes and hard seltzers available direct to consumers and in retail stores across the country.
