In March 2020, all Las Vegas casinos were ordered closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nevada. Even as other casinos were allowed to resume operations, the Cromwell remained closed indefinitely. In August 2020, CBS reality dating show "Love Island" began filming its second season at the Cromwell, relocated from Fiji due to the pandemic. The Cromwell reopened on October 29, 2020, as an adults-only property with the exception of its Giada restaurant. The Cromwell was already an adult-oriented property, unlike other Las Vegas resorts that include family entertainment. It was the last resort on the Las Vegas Strip to reopen.
