Vegas and the Virus - Vegas with an Edge

Vegas and the Virus

We started this ongoing blog last March, and have been reporting on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Las Vegas for 14 months. As we follow this blog, the trajectory of a rapid recovery over the past few weeks is clear, and from all angles, we can say that the shutdown is over.

All casinos, at least most of them, are expected to be at 100% capacity by June 1. The removal of protocols and plexiglass dividers has all but disappeared. Masks are no longer required for vaccinated people, and the percentage of maskless patrons in casinos and bars is increasing day by day. Buffets are coming back. Contracts are filling up. Numbers are high across the board. We are not saying that the Covid-19 crisis is over. Far from it. But Las Vegas' return from a complete shutdown is now so much more of a norm of progress than an exception.

As such, we do not believe that such blog updates are necessary any more. Of course, we will continue to post details about the return of amenities and new policies as we go along. As for this blog, we believe that we have condemned this situation from beginning to end better and more firmly than anywhere else, but all bad things must come to an end. We are announcing that we will be suspending our blog until further notice. Let's hope that notice never comes.

UPDATE 5/19 - Full reopening starting June 1

The Clark County Commission voted unanimously to lift almost all pandemic-related restrictions in Las Vegas effective June 1 (including fitness restrictions, rules on donning and doffing masks). Each business can impose its own conditions, and masks will still be required in hospitals and medical facilities and on public transportation.

Although this announcement is official, most casinos in Las Vegas are already open at 100% capacity, with plexiglass barriers removed and no restrictions on the number of players on table games or side-by-side machines. Currently, about 50% of patrons are enjoying the casinos without masks. As for employees, policies vary by casino. The significance of this announcement is that restrictions outside of the casino floor will be lifted, and restaurants and fairgrounds will return to normal.

5/12 Update Recovering Fast

Recovery is progressing. After wynn, encore, and cosmopolitan were 100 % capacity, Strat became 100 % capacity, along with nine MGM Resorts. In these casinos, the partitions of the prexiglass are almost removed, and many bars with video poker machines are the same. Indoors still need masks.

Caesters Palace's Buckanal Buffet will be revived on May 20, only dinner from Thursday to Monday. It is unknown what the form will be, but it is expected that the staff will be stationed for the first time and will accept reservations. As a casino that revived the buffet, Caesers follow South Point and Cosmopolitan. Next?

In addition, Las Vegas Monorail continues to operate on May 27, shows and other entertainment have been resumed, convention reservations have begun, and employment fairs are being held in various places in the city. But not only good news. Las Vegas and the US casinos have recorded record numbers by combining repeaters and reducing operating costs (reducing employees and available options). As a result, the casino has the courage to go further. Of course, it was a matter of time for MGM Resorts to revive the paid parking lot following Caesters. From June 1st, parking without staff will be charged at all MRI facilities. Everyone is free for the first hour, and the sel f-parking is free for locals for 3 hours. In addition, active servants, veterans, M-Life's pearl or higher, Mlife Master Card owners will be free to sel f-parking. Depending on the casino, the price for 2 to 4 hours is $ 12 or $ 15, and $ 15 or $ 18 for 4-24 hours. The price of Barrett Services is high, and the weekend is $ 30 a day.

Update 5/ 5-3 casinos are already 100%. Recovery is progressing. After wynn, encore, and cosmopolitan were 100 % capacity, Strat became 100 % capacity, along with nine MGM Resorts.

Update 5/ 5-3 casinos are already 100%.

Expected, the casino was said to be allowed to occupy 100 % in a cas e-b y-case basis, which is actually happening. So far, three casinos, Win Las Vegas, Angkor, and Cosmopolitan, are allowed to operate 100 %. According to Win, 88 % of employees have been vaccinated, and Cosmo is 80 %. Win and Angkor slot machines and table games have already removed prexiglass partitions. The two casino groups took different paths to get the same results. Win Corporation has promised that employees will be vaccinated or have been tested every week to negative viruses. Cosmo promised $ 1 million to employees. The mask is still required for all three casinos.

The biggest news this week is the sale of Palms to San Diego's Mission Indians San Manuel Band. In connection with pandemic, this means that Palms will eventually open, but the condition of the sale does not forbid open before the contract ends. Therefore, when it is resumed, it will be owned by Sun Manuel. Anthony Curtis commented on the Las Vegas Mau's Counsel paper as follows: "Overall, the Indian casino in Cali is very gentle on the players. I don't know enough to be shaken by the operator, but I don't know enough to declare that they do it I will take a chance to them. "

As tourists return, all major tourism indicators are rising. The big problem is now a shortage of manpower. In the NUB, employees are reduced after closing and after closing, and many companies are trying to secure personnel, even if they are now mostly said. The disparity of the service is clear. Don't neglect it.

Updates 4/29- The situation is running rapidly , but the casino was said to be permitted to 100 % in a case-by-case basis, which is actually happening.

Update 4/29- Sans are moving rapidly

Yes, 80 % of the capacity will be applied from May 1st. Every day, the news of the opening of a new show jumps in. Most recently, Bruno Mars appeared on the Park MGM Park Theater on the fourth weekend of July and became the first headliner to resume the movie resumption (July 16th at the Coliseum of Caesters Palace. Replace the Asher). Silk de Soleil has updated his return schedule. Silk's first show is scheduled for June 24, and the Blue Man Group produced by Silk will reopen in Luxor. On June 28, Pure Silk's first show, MyStère, returns to Treasure Island, and on July 1st, O will reopen in Bellagio. The remaining silk series will continue in any order.

In addition, an orthodox house in the state, which has been suspended for 14 months, will open.

The buffet is being approved for resuming in a traditional sel f-service format, but it is better not to expect it yet. At the moment, there are only South Points and Cosmopolitan, and there is no announcement of return.

June 1 is still the target date to return to 100 % capacity. Along with this, Resort World Las Vegas announced that it will open on June 24. This will open 5, 000 theaters, such as guest rooms, casinos, 40 restaurants, and 70. In the fall, you can enjoy luxurious entertainment, such as Katie Perry, Carry Underwood, and Celine Dion.

4/21 Updat e-Quick jump to 80%

As expected, the capacity seems to increase faster than expected. The Clark County Committee has approved plans to raise restrictions from the current 50 % to 80 % by May 1. In this plan (first of all, the approval by the state is required), the social recession is halved from 6 feet to 3 feet, the full opening of the customs business facilities is permitted, and the restaurant reservations are twice as much as the present. Is allowed. The plan states that 60 % of the 1. 8 million residents in Clark County will completely cancel the restrictions at least once at least once (however, a large event will be somewhat stricter). At present, this figure is 44 %, but it has increased by 70, 000 a week. Yes, 80 % of the capacity will be applied from May 1st. Every day, the news of the opening of a new show jumps in.

Silk de Soleil has revised his initial schedule slightly and may replay "O" and "MyStere" on July 1st. Not everything is going to open without any problems. The larg e-scale carnival event "Electric Daisy", which will be held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, ended in May (by the exception of the "larg e-scale rally" mentioned above). EDC's new schedule is October 22nd to 24th.

Another problem that affects Las Vegas's commerce is that a s o-called "vaccine passport" is required to enter a specific casino. What we expect is not what we expect, but some relevant movements can be considered. See the article by Anthony Curtis, an article by Eric Laskin, the author of The Moneymaker Effect of USBETS. com.

Updated 4/14-100 % capacity runs on the road

At a press conference yesterday, Nevada's Governor Steve Sisolak said that he would confirm the transfer of authority to each county in the state, and to cancel all capacity restrictions by June 1. If the local jurisdiction does not impose similar rules, the casino, bars, and restaurants will return to 100 % capacity before June 1. The state's masking duty is still valid.

The further easing of this regulation has been speculation that even gentleman clubs and houses will resume business soon. The former is operating as a bar without a dancer while waiting for permission to resume. There is also a possibility that casinos who want to revive the sel f-service buffet will be revived.

Update 4/ 7-Gambling steps

From May 1st, the responsibility of the change in the change in Nevada will shift from the state (governor's administrative order) to the regional jurisdiction. With this transition, the responsibility to set the capacity level of the casino will be the gaming control board, and GCB clarifies that its greatest concern is vaccinated. Therefore, the casino has been recommended to do his best to persuade employees to be vaccinated. There are two purposes, both of which make sense. One is a clear desire to suppress the new spread of viruses. The other is more based on recognition that a casino in Nevada wants to be as safe as possible. The important thing is that the most important additional capacity for casinos is not uniform, including everyone. In other words, a high percentage of the casino employees has been vaccinated.

Recently, the "vaccine passport" has been discussed to restrict vacciners and use services. Maybe it will be realized, but don't think it will be realized in Las Vegas. What casinos don't want to do the most is to create a new barrier.

The next focus seems to be the revival of the convention. MGM Resort International has created a strict security protocol program to remove the barriers of potential convention groups. Such habits are necessary to increase the number of athletic guests this week.

Rio will resume hotel rooms 7 days a week from April 19. Most of the casinos and most restaurants opened in full time, but the guest rooms were only on weekends. In Rio, World of Poker announced this year's schedule to return to the live format. The WSOP meat will be held from September 30 to November 23, and the main event will be held from November 4 to 17. COVID-19-specific security protocols and other associated 2021 tournament policy will be considered as gaming regulations at events.

Several sources have reported an increase in visiting indicators, such as an increase in guest room operating rates, which leads to an increase in guest rooms, but we have not seen the numbers that support this. One of these reports analyzes that the accommodation fee is now "about on e-third cheaper than in April 2019." If so, it's still quite cheap.

Update 3/3 1-The show returns at the pandemic price

Everyone is excited about the return of production, but catching: It costs more to see them. This month, we conducted an annual "price survey" and found interesting results. As a result of tracking ticket prices for 36 active shows, the average was $ 77. 19, a significant drop from $ 95. 11 in 2019 (not comparison because all shows closed last year). Is the show cheaper? picture. The reason for the fall is that a big show has not yet returned. Caesters Palace and Planet Hollywood have no silk, Santana or rotating stars. If these expensive shows are removed from the mix, the average falls.

Or like this? When calculating the average, we use a formula to identify one ticket. But that's not all. Currently, many shows need at least two tickets. For example, if you want to see a bee in Australia, the average price of one ticket is $ 70 and 59. However, since there are at least two tickets, you can not enter alone without paying at least $ 130 and 28 cents. The average is $ 132 and 98 cents, taking into account all the minimum costs that are forced.

The important thing is that you have to pay higher than before to see a show today. In other words, it may be better to start searching for alternatives, such as Alexis Park, Fame, and strip mosaic. The lowest price we found was $ 10, $ 90 of the Hustler Gentlemen's Club after sunset. Sexxy is an orthodox casino showcase performed on Westgate (and is likely to be performed again). Other lo w-cost no n-casino showcases include Totaly Intellectual to Fame $ 38, 15 (at least 2 inches), Amazing Magic Starring TomMy Wind at Alexis Park $ 40, 95, FAAABULUS! THE SHOW AT FAME $ 43, 59 (2/$ 87, 18).

Cosmopolitan paper announces the Rose Dinner Club. rabbit. Lie. Will not open again. Four Queens's "Steve Conolly: Spirit of the King" show is also closed forever.

Reports of relaxed COVID protocols continue. Boyd Las Vegas and Westgate Las Vegas properties have discontinued door temperature monitoring.

UPDATE 3/24 - Emerging from the Pandemic

Things are moving fast, as increased capacity and the accidental collision of March Madness suddenly make Las Vegas look like Las Vegas again. Sportsbooks were full over the weekend, but not as visible as we expected. Overall, it was a welcome return of crowds.

Wynn Resorts announced that Encore will be fully open on April 8. The hotel and casino will be open full time; however, restaurants and spas will have modified hours. Regal, the city's largest movie theater group, announced it will reopen its movie theaters starting in April, including the one on the Station Casino site. Also, on April 1, the giant 150-foot replica of the Mantis in front of the Downtown Container Park will return. After a year of hibernation due to COVID, the Mantis will be bobbing up and down in the evenings from Thursday to Sunday, spewing fire.

Some casinos and bars have relaxed their security protocols slightly. For example, the D no longer has temperature control. Most casinos are strict about wearing masks, and it is still rare to see patrons without masks in indoor gathering areas. For more information, please see the latest information on YouTube.

Among negative developments, problems in the rental transportation sector have been prominent. We have heard many complaints about the difficulty of getting a ride with Uber or Lyft due to a driver shortage. Car sharing companies say they are "trying to adapt to the current situation." Rental cars are also selling out despite the high prices. For now, it is best to book rental cars well in advance, or if you are not driving, plan to take a taxi or bus to your destination.

Updated 17/3 - Capacity limits have been raised to 50%

Starting Monday, capacity limits in Las Vegas have been increased from 35% to 50%. The mandate applies to casinos, restaurants, bars and other businesses that gather in public, including venues with more than 2, 500 seats, such as exhibition halls and arenas. As a result, about 40 shows have announced their return to the stage, and up to 90 people will be allowed to attend Vegas Golden Knights hockey games at T-Mobile Arena. The Palazzo, Planet Hollywood and The Linq hotels, which were operating completely closed or with partially vacant rooms, are now open seven days a week.

The adjustments are to accommodate the large crowds expected for the NCAA basketball tournament, which begins this weekend. Will sportsbooks adhere to 50% capacity? It seems unlikely, if only based on the fact that it will be difficult to achieve. During the Super Bowl, capacity restrictions seemed almost nonexistent.

The first major convention scheduled to return to Las Vegas is Concrete World, which will take place June 7-10 and typically draws 60, 000 people. The announcement is welcome, as Las Vegas has not hosted a convention for nearly a year.

The Cosmopolitan announced that it will reopen its Wicked Spoon buffet for breakfast and lunch, Thursday through Sunday, starting March 25. Breakfast (8-11am) will be $38 for adults and $19 for children. Lunch (11am-3pm) will be $45/$22. 50. Reservations are not required, but are highly recommended. Dining will be limited to two hours per party, and service will be the same as before the closure, with servers bringing food to socially distanced patrons. Bad Spoon reopened on June 26 after closing, then "temporarily" closed on January 10 until "business levels" improved. The capacity restrictions are apparently enough of a business improvement for Cosmo to start expanding.

No timeline for additional concessions has been disclosed, so the next move is currently unclear.

UPDATE 3/10 - Exiting the "Moat"

Various factors overlapped, and some Las Vegas shows revived after nearly a year. First, the upper limit of the number of seats that only entered up to 100 people in one theater was raised. More importantly, last week, the "moat" requirements, which were obliged to keep a 2 5-foot distance between Entertainer and the audience, were eliminated. In addition, the rules for determining the distance between the stage performers were alleviated, 6 feet for masks, and 12 feet without a mask. With these changes, more shows have declared the opening date, and most of Las Vegas's production will be open until the end of this month (excluding the silk show reported in 3/3 Update).

Not only Fairground Productions. In addition, the free concert "Downtown Rocks", which will be held from May to summer, "Electric Daisy Carnival", "Life is Beautiful Festival", and "Pacific Music" IVAL Is there. In September, Life is Beautiful Festival and Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival will be held in September.

On the other hand, within a week, the governor has been updated again, and further deregulation is expected.

Update 3/3- Further open

The theme has not changed, and more shows have announced the opening date. The most notable is Silk de Soleil, aiming to return on July 4th. In a provisional plan, O opened in Bellagio on the weekend of Independence Day, and then with Mystere, Love, Michael Jackson One, Ka's "unprecedented matrix", Blue Man Group, Cirque, also Cirque. The owned show may open in July, depending on the regulation. Recently Golden Knights NHL games at T-Mobile Arena were able to accommodate 2. 500 spectators.

Interesting news, more than 200 casinos are now constantly no n-smoking in the United States as a result of pandemic. This includes all Atlantic City casinos and many tribal casinos. However, only two ace & ace, Sandar Lounge, and Park MGM are registered in casinos with Las Vegas gaming licenses.

It will be announced by March 15th, such as the continuation of Cobid's figures in Nevada, and the movement of matte regulations in the United States, including larg e-scale resets in Texas. Hope for improving possible conditions has come to be seen.

2/24 Update-Opening

In just a week after Cobid's deregulation, there was a lot of movement. Along with Virgin, the opening date, it has been announced that Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, and Mirage will resume ful l-time business on March 3. Regulation

Other signs of the opening have appeared in the return of contracts (from July) and more shows, including MGM and MGM and almost all of the MGM and Caesers. It is good that the show is back, but most shows have raised significantly, and almost all shows are finally two tickets. In addition, entry of up to 16 people is allowed. The NASCAR race "PENNZOIL 400", which will be held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 5-7, is allowed to enter up to 16, 000. This is 20 % of the capacity of the speedway. It is only in October that the audience is allowed to enter on the speedway.

In general, touris m-related businesses are operated using what the government gives. Cobid's numbers are continuing to improve and are more optimistic.

2/15 Update-Deregulation

As expected, regulations related to COVID in Nevada were slightly eased, and some of the new rules were today as part of the ste p-up approach. The main change is that casinos, restaurants, and bars have been expanded from 25 % to 35 %. The 35 % of the numbers seem strange, but this is one step in the right direction, and the plan is to allow 50 % capacity from March 15. In restaurants, this number is applied only indoors. There are no restrictions on outdoor meals. This 35 % ordinance also applies to sports gyms, churches, bowling aliens, etc. In addition, meals at restaurants are not required to be reserved, and the maximum capacity of one table is raised from four to six. The cobids are continuing to improve in Nevada, and the movement of matte regulations all over the United States, including larg e-scale resets in Texas, overlaps. Hope for improving the condition that could be announced has been seen.

2/15 Update-Deregulation

The rally restrictions have been alleviated, and this is also a 35 % rule, up to 100 at most venues. After May 1, it will be 50 %, that is, up to 250. At a larg e-scale venue, up to 20 % of the number of fixed seats in the fixed seats. This is not clearly defined, but it should be possible for 4. 000 people at a venue of 20. 000 people like T-Mobile Arena. The s o-called "hig h-risk act", such as strip clubs, nightclubs, and guest houses, is still banned.

Companies want direct transition to 50 % (or more), but most are encouraged. Immediately after the governor's announcement, Virgin Las Vegas announced that it will open on March 25. As a whole, the standard pollution value in Nevada has declined, and it has been convinced that the restrictions will continue to be adjusted as planned. Anthony features these points in a new YouTube video.

Update 2/1 0-Activate the stop declaration

The news of the situation of the "pause" is expected by the weekend, but given the progress of vaccine distribution and the decline in the number of Civid o-infected people in Nevada, the trust of the easing is high.

Las Vegas survived the Super Bowl with a $ 136. 1 million bet, which was due to the low drop in COVID of 12 %. In the Super Bowl on Sunday, the city was full and the atmosphere was like returning to Las Vegas, but on Tuesday morning it returned to the mi d-week. For example, at 6:30 am at 6:30 am at Golden Gate, no one was playing, and other casinos on the strip were not so good.

In the investor's telephone conference, the casino at the station said that the palls in the configuration have not yet resumed until the number of visitors to Las Vegas has increased, and the date has not been decided. Other station facilities in the same place are Texas Station and two Fiesta.

The most prominent for restrictions are the producers of the show, but some of them are now dented. In the recruitment of the Las Vegas consultant in February, the following shows were vacant: rally restrictions were alleviated, and this was also a 35 % rule, up to 100 people at most venues. After May 1, it will be 50 %, that is, up to 250. At a larg e-scale venue, up to 20 % of the number of fixed seats in the fixed seats.

This is not clearly defined, but it should be possible for 4. 000 people at a venue of 20. 000 people like T-Mobile Arena. The s o-called "hig h-risk act", such as strip clubs, nightclubs, and guest houses, is still banned.

Update 2/1 0-Activate the stop declaration

At the Telephone Conference for Investors, the casino head of the station said that the palls in the configuration have not yet resumed until the number of visitors to Las Vegas has increased, and the date has not been decided. Other station facilities in the same place are Texas Station and two Fiesta.

The most prominent for restrictions are the producers of the show, but some of them are now dented. In the recruitment of the Las Vegas consultant in February, the following shows were available:

Everyone talks about Las Vegas shows, but that's not the case. While major productions are sidelined due to capacity constraints, more than a dozen smaller shows are back in action. The list of casino shows currently playing includes: Delirious Comedy Club (Downtown Grand), Thunder from Down Under (Excalibur), Piff the Magic Dragon and X Burlesque (Flamingo), Movie Face and X Country (Harrah's), and Brad Garrett's Comedy (MGM Grand), La Comedy Club (The Strut); Murray the Magician, Laugh Factory, Rich Little Live (Tropicana), and The Rat Pack is Back (Tuscany). Outside of the casinos, the Alexis Park Hotel has four shows: Amazing Magic, Burlesque and Jokestar starring Alan Nhu and Tommy Wind. There are also three shows at the independent Mosaic Theatre: Aussie Heat, Piano Man, and Queens of Rock. Be sure to call ahead to make reservations.

UPDATE 2/3 - A Super Bowl with a difference

With Las Vegas still on "pause," the question is what the Super Bowl will look like this coming Sunday. Naturally, things are expected to slow down during what is traditionally one of the busiest weekends of the year, but to what extent? Interestingly, several parties have been announced, all of which will have higher capacity limits than usual. Likewise, some bars will also hit restrictions that will force them to exclude patrons. Casino sportsbooks are probably the easiest to see.

Otherwise, the shutdown will last for 12 days until the results of the review are announced. Check back for the latest updates.

UPDATE 1/27 - Noticeable impacts

As we await the February 15th deadline to end the current "pause," the impacts of nearly a year of restrictions are beginning to become clear. Casinos are short-lived and service glitches are common. Recently, a guest made a reservation at the Rio on a Monday, only to show up to find that the hotel was closed during the week. He was not informed that his granted reservation would not be honored, and after two hours of back-and-forth, was finally escorted to Caesars Palace (when he refused to go to Bally's). Moral of the story: Don't take everything at face value. Call before traveling to make sure your reservation is OK.

The recent closing of the store is Erio, a restaurant in the encore. Erio opened temporarily in June and had a significant response, but was open until November, closed again, and has not opened again.

Now that vaccinations have been implemented here and there (although there is a big problem in the distribution participation rate, Nevada is 49th in the United States), the problem is the shor t-term fortune in Las Vegas. Is it affected? The big question is what percentage of the people will be vaccinated. We want to get that feeling in the current opinion poll, "Do you want to be vaccinated by Coronavirus?" Vote and look at the results next week.

South Point continues to provide the only buffet in the casino. We've tried it, so we can see our reports on the latest YouTube video.

1/20 updat e-Waiting again (but MRB is good)

As with the previous restriction period, Las Vegas has been suspended for 30 days and returns to a step (business suspension is valid until February 15). However, unlike the past, business officials are familiar with this rule and are prepared to do different ways.

Many restaurants are closed, both inside and outside of the casino, and most restaurants require advance reservations. Even the only buffet that is open at South Points is a reservation system. Of course, the scenery of the show continues to be Baron's residence.

It also affects membership reward books that Las Vegas Council members can use. There is no reason not to do so. Last year's MRB had a 24 buffet discount offer, but this year is 0. There is a tw o-o n-one offer at South Point, but it is for breakfast, it is currently suspended, and there is no other offer. However, this book has dozens of offers in restaurants, bars, and attractions, and there are many other no n-commission entertainment options, and gambling in casinos is emphasized. Reflected, there are the best free play, match and bonus offer so far. This year's gambling offer is expected to be $ 622 and free play is $ 65. In addition, with the resurrection of buffet and other options, a mobile exchange component has been added so that additional promotions can be provided throughout the year.

1/13 Update s-Another extension

The Governor of Nevada held a press conference without waiting for the beginning of the week, extending the closing period for another 30 days. Casino, restaurant, and bar operating rates are 25 %. Reservation is required for meals. The 50-MAX at the rally, the strict masked rules are valid until February 15.

Las Vegas's business seems to be adapted, and some are devising, such as installing outdoors (with heating) tents to accept more customers. However, some companies relocate, including the two restaurants, Mandalay Bay, the chef, Juber Keller, who withdraws from Fleur and Burger Bar. FLEUR is reopened under MGM management, and MGM wants to revive Burger Bar.

There is nothing else. I'm going to wait for another month. This topic has been further discussed in the latest posts on YouTube.

1/6 updat e-Still stopped

In the first week of 2021, COVI D-related movements were going well. The current suspension remains effective, and Las Vegas is still rolling.

While the downtown party was canceled, the leveler gathered on the strip to celebrate New Year's Eve. The number of spectators has not been announced, but the number was thousands of people, which was much less than usual. Nevertheless, Las Vegas has been criticized for permission from all rally.

Angkor was fully opened last week to use the congestion on New Year's Day, but is now on weekends only. The evil spoon buffet in Cosmopolitan was unable to operate with the restriction of reservations and booking only, and was again closed. Cavid's numbers are still high, so no one knows if the pause will be extended again.

Updated 12/31-2020

Are you ready to reach a new year? Most people will be so. The American fireworks will not be launched, but the south lane from Treasure Island to Mandalay Bay will be closed by 8:00 pm. It is expected that 200, 000 spectators will gather. That's all for social elimination.

In downtown, an admission fee of $ 25 was held, but the cancellation was announced this morning.

What will the New Year bring? Anthony Curtis told the January advisor in Las Vegas.

We named this year's preview "Vegas Reset" because that's what's going to happen next. Really, we couldn't make any more predictions: Las Vegas needs to reset in 2021, and that will require a major reset, including the return of everything that defines this city: restaurants, shows, bars, clubs, shopping, and more. Many people seem to think that a sudden switch will be flipped on January 1st at 12:01am. Not true. It will take months, maybe the whole year, to get anything close to normal.

The current "pause" is in effect until January 15th. Check here and the LVA YouTube channel for the latest updates. UPDATE 12/23 SLEEPS EVERYWHERE

The Rio opened yesterday, but overall the casinos are down due to low traffic. As of January 4th, the Mirage will be closed from Monday noon to Thursday noon, hotel, casino, restaurants, everything. According to a Twitter announcement from MGM Resorts International, the closure of all business days will not be extended until February, but the policy will be reevaluated as that date approaches.

The full closure of the Mirage is significant, as it is the first since Encore (which remains fully closed on weekdays). Other resorts, including Park MGM, MBay, Planet Hollywood, and Palazzo, have closed their hotels on weekdays, although their casinos are open. Casinos that remain fully closed include Palms, Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson, Main Street Station, Eastside Cannery, and Eldorado.

At resorts that are open full time, including the just-opened Rio, many restaurants are closed or have reduced hours. And of course, there are very few shows, except for a few small productions.

The situation is similar outside the casinos, with many restaurants remaining closed or reducing hours and menus. Kitchens and bars are also closing earlier throughout the city, and menus are almost entirely reduced.

It has been announced that a NYE party (admission $25) will be held downtown, but it is not yet known what it will be like.

An interesting side story: There seems to be an anomaly in the gambling numbers released recently. Or is that the cause? We are now running a reader poll on how your personal gambling habits have changed.

Update 12/17 LVA switches to YouTube

How do you prefer to receive news? If you read this blog from the moment of its founding, including all 45 updates, you will be pleased to know that now you can be aware of all the changes by looking at the quick video at YouTube. We had long been going to create a LVA channel on YouTube, but still have not decided how to launch it. Since we are constantly asked questions about the state of Las Vegas during the pandemic, we decided that this was a good opportunity to launch the channel.

In the first entry, Anthony Curtis briefly describes the situation and explains the current restrictions (also described in the update from 12/14 lower). This video lasts 11 minutes, which is longer than we expect from future Vegas/Virus videos, but this is due to the time spent on updating the plot.

The biggest hit is the entertainment sector, where most shows can only operate with a maximum of 50 people (the rule is 25% or 50 total people, whichever is less). The CEO of Spiegelworld, producer of the Absinthe, Opium, and Atomic Saloon shows, argued that shows should be a separate category from other "public gatherings" (we agree), but there seems to be no relief. MGM Resorts International announced that it would suspend all live entertainment until January 15th.

Updated 12/9 Standby

Everyone seems to be waiting. Waiting for the vaccine. Waiting for the next announcement that what has opened will close again. And above all, waiting for the next move from the governor. Even now, halfway through "Pose," the COVID numbers remain bad. Many are concerned that California will shut down again and Nevada will follow suit. But Governor Sisolak is under intense pressure not to take this step.

Meanwhile, the economic fallout from the pandemic continues to be felt. Virgin Las Vegas postpones its planned January 15 opening until an undetermined date. The Palazzo has closed its hotel completely (casino remains open) until December 23. The cancellation of the downtown New Year's Eve party has finally been announced. The Las Vegas Bowl football game has also been canceled for the 28th consecutive year.

With no rodeo and stimulus funds drying up, the city is eerily quiet again, and every day seems to bring more negative news, especially in the early morning hours. It is our opinion that Las Vegas' recovery depends heavily on the success and widespread distribution of an effective vaccine. Things will only return to normal when people feel safe to travel and socialize. For now, it's a wait-and-see approach.

Update 12/2 Taking the new restrictions in stride

The new restrictions last week were a chilling experience for restaurants and bars, who didn't know what to do. Many bars posted phone numbers on the outside doors of their establishments, instructing customers to call first to make a reservation. "Hello, can I fit one person in? Great, I'll be there in 15 seconds." No joke, that was the reality. But after a few days, things loosened up and most people decided that they didn't need to call to get a seat at the bar to buy a drink or play video poker.

Casinos were not affected much. For example, Primary Prime Rib and Baja Miguel at South Point are now only open three days a week, and Oyster Bar is closed until further notice. As expected, shows have also been affected. For example, the long-running shows at Planet Hollywood's V Theater and Saxe Theater have been postponed to February.

The first two weeks of December are usually the rodeo season, but this year the NFR will not be held. It was announced in September that the NFR would be held in Texas this year. It's another COVID blow for the Las Vegas economy.

As for other traditional celebrations, it's still not clear exactly what will and won't happen. The lack of announcements means something is not happening, or the casinos just can't push it forward because of so many other concerns. For example, a late press release confirmed that holiday events will be held at the LINQ Promenade, but no details have been released about plans for The Park in New York, Sam's Town's Holiday Patio, or Silverton's Underwater Santa.

One question was whether a traditional deep room discount would appear in December. In this year's survey, there were 39 casino hotels with a basic fee of less than $ 40. This is less than usual, but some casinos have not resumed, so if the number of casinos is small, the number on the discount list will decrease. There were also 75 casinos available on New Year's Eve. Every year, this number is quickly dropped, but this year does not expect. The detailed accommodation report is published in the December issue of Las Vegas Advisor.

11/24 Updated "Pause" 3 weeks

At a press conference held yesterday, Governor Sisolak ordered the maximum capacity of casinos, restaurants and bars in Nevada for three weeks from midnight tonight from 50 % to 25 %. Sisolak states that the order is "pause" before the complete closure and "stop". However, he threatened to take more severe measures if this limit was not accepting seriously. This is not the worst scenario, but the new requirements are still relatively difficult. And there is a shocking fact here. The following are the questions that emerged from the breakdown of major guidance and the feedback received.

Of course, the rule of 25 % will cause all kinds of compliance problems, without taking into account restaurants and showrooms. For example, in a new sports book in Circus, will three out of four seats be excluded? Will you be rejected on weekends?

The restaurant can only sit reserved and eat up to 4 meals per table. No one knows which restaurant is included in this. There seems to be the purpose of the table at the table, but there is also a fast food restaurant and a bar that provides meals even if it is not a table. For example, can I enter a bar to get a video poker and order a hamburger without reservation? There is a theory that nobody knows, and you can't even buy or play drinks without reservations.

11/24 Updated "Pause" 3 weeks

Masks are always required, both indoors and outdoors. This includes a private gathering. So, do I have to wear a mask when I'm in a car with a friend or when I'm with a no n-family member at home? I don't know. And there are up to 10 such gathering up to 10 or more households. My favorite uncle seems to be away, and I don't want to think which husband's spouse will come to Thanksgiving dinner.

The largest public gathering has recently been raised to 250, but has been reduced to 50. So, for at least smal l-scale production, pierce the newly revived live entertainment. The MJ Live in Strat was already rayoff, and the return of Terry Fighter to NY-NY has been canceled.

Retail stores may remain 50 % capacity. However, stores with an area of 50. 000 square feet or more must maintain the number of customers at the entrance. Salons and spas are not eligible for new rules (apart from what they mean). The strip club must be closed.

There are many things I don't know yet. Will people obey? What happens if you don't respond? Will they be arrested, or will thousands of people arrested without a mask? Can a restaurant with a table open not be fined even if I accept a walking smartphone? I have heard that there is an objection to constitutionality, especially for home rally. Three weeks later. Is anyone, who has a vaccine nearby?

11/18 Update Remarkable Time

Nevada is concerned about the possibility of a complete blockade. The Nevada Cobid 19 numbers are still disappointing, and the casinos in other states (such as Illinois and Michigan) have already been postponed and have become precedent. In addition, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak has a positive reaction to Koved, and no one knows what will happen. Masks are always required, both indoors and outdoors. This includes a private gathering. So, do I have to wear a mask when I'm in a car with a friend or when I'm with a no n-family member at home? I don't know.

11/18 Update Remarkable Time

Just a week after reopening at the MGM Grand, David Copperfield was laid to rest after a staff member tested positive. The show resumed on November 6th and was canceled after the November 13th performance. Copperfield said he was not sure when the show would return. Go for Good is a production of Zumanity that Cirque du Soleil has performed at New York New York for nearly 17 years. However, Cirque du Soleil has announced that it has extended contracts for five shows it performs in Las Vegas (Mystére, O, Ká, Love, Michael Jackson), but has not set a reopening date.

The cancellation of New Year's Eve parties has raised the question of how people will celebrate in Las Vegas. At least part of the answer is a live Zoe Bowie concert at Circa. The band, led by Chris Phillips, will perform from the NYE swim, an event that will be broadcast in major western cities on stations owned by Nexstar (Channel 8 in Las Vegas). Zoe Bowie will be among the crowd of about 500 people, along with some of the city's top showcase artists.

Updated 11/11 Warning from the Governor

At a press conference yesterday, the Governor of Nevada warned that new restrictions could be coming if Nevadans do not make an effort to "stay home as much as possible." The statement comes in light of the accelerating number of virus cases growing across the country, and while no specific businesses or activities were identified, bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues are potential targets for new restrictions in as little as two weeks if the numbers don't improve. As of now, no action has been taken to strip these areas of first use rights, but landlords have been notified to more diligently enforce masking and removal rules, and we are noticing that landlords are responding with increased oversight across the state.

Nowhere is the concern over the possibility of a return of sanctions more evident than in the downtown casinos. At Circa, two of us moved from the mega bar inside the casino to an outside bar. Two people we know were told they were scolded for standing outside and talking without masks. We had to get drinks in the Commons at the Fremont Street Experience to avoid control. This is not meant to blame the casinos - they're just trying to avoid trouble with regulators - nor am I going to criticize the mask ordinance.

Las Vegas has responded with the expected optimism following the news that a vaccine may soon be available, which many consider the most important development in restoring traveler confidence. Caesars Entertainment announced that the Rio will open by the end of the year. If it does, it will be the last of 56 Caesars properties nationwide to reopen after closures. And the Las Vegas Convention Center will reopen tomorrow for the first time since March with Mecum Auctions, a two-day, intimate event with 1, 000 attendees across four rooms of 250 people each.

Meanwhile, recent casualties of the pandemic include the Circus Circus buffet and Pamplemousse Le Restaurant, Las Vegas' original fine French restaurant, both of which are not scheduled to reopen. We expect more announcements like this in the future, but the news doesn't always go unheard of. The Hard Hat Lounge, located behind The STRAT, on Industrial Rd., was thought to be closing, but has reopened with a Detroit-style pizza place called Guerilla Pizza. The Hard Hat, which has been operating as a restaurant or bar since 1958, is said to be the oldest dive bar in Las Vegas, and it was crazy when we checked it out on Thursday night.

Updated 11/4 Park MGM Hours

In what may be the start of a trend, Park MGM has reduced its hours of operation with Encore. Starting this week, the casino will close at noon on Mondays and reopen at noon on Thursdays. Some wonder if this has something to do with Park MGM's smoking ban, but we don't think so. MGM Resorts International cited low midweek occupancy and an absence of major meetings, conferences and events, which sounds reasonable and there is talk of more casinos following suit with weekend-only openings.

Even in part of the week, one of the options to save on the target shutdown instead of a complete shutdown. For example, Caesters Palace Forum Food Court is now surrounded by veneer boards, and eight out of nine fast food stores are closed. The pizza counter is open, but Starbucks has moved to the forum casino on the other side of the sports book. According to Caesers, this closed is for "maintenance", but no resumption date has been announced.

As a last tailwind to 2020, for the first time since it began 21 years ago, the American Fireworks show "American Party" will be held on New Year's Eve this year. It has not been officially declared, but it implies that traditional strips are banned. Downtown parties are likely to be canceled. However, Plaza has announced that it will be displayed. LVCVA stated in a statement to "stay tuneD" so that you can hear better news about the New Year here.

Update 10/28 Return of contract

The first bar, the next show, and now a meeting. We believe that Las Vegas needs a convention activity, and plans to increase the number of conventions to 50 % from New Year's Day in 2021. As of October 1, most indoor and outdoor rally is limited to 250, and the number of large venues is limited to 10 %. As the number of capacity increases, many larg e-scale rally scheduled for next year will be more likely to consider maintaining the schedule, but many gatherings scheduled before that will be canceled. 。

The Cromwell, the last closed hotel casino, will be reopened on October 29 as an adul t-only facility. Like CIRCA, the main restaurant is an exception, and GIADA can be used under 21 years old. In stores where there are few minors, such as the Chromewell, it seems that adul t-only is certainly a reasonable method. Or, like CIRCA, some stores look like an adult playground on the first day of the opening.

Update 10/21 The big show is back

MGM Resorts International has announced that it will revive several large shows as one of the most important movements since the resumption of casinos. According to the common sense so far, it was considered that it would be impossible to resurrect a large show because there were regulations that the maximum capacity was 250 and the distance between the audience and the stage was 25 feet (about 1. 5 meters). However, according to MRI, on November 6th, Brad Garrett's comedy "Carrot Top", Australian Bigs, "Thunder from Down Under", "Fantasy", "Jabwocks", David Copper. The performance of the field will be resumed. In particular, David Copperfield, as before, performed 15 performances a week at his name theater in the MGM ground, and Java Wakkies moved to the MGM Grand Garden Arena and performed at 1. 5 % of 17. 000 people. Huh. Although it is unlikely that these productions will be profitable in restrictions, MRI has taken the first step toward restarting hig h-end entertainment, an important part of the economic recovery puzzle.

Caesters Entertainment has announced that it will revive parking fees at most casinos. Although the fee structure has not been revealed, unregistered guests will be charged in Sesters Palace, Paris, Villies, Flamingo, Harraz, and Link Sel f-Purking since October 30. It sounds like a bad thing, but there's another one. "Until the end of the first quarter of 2021, we will donate the interests of all parking lots to Saesers team members and some charitable organizations that support the troubled community." It sounds no noble, but the first quarter is a soft thing to start a parking lot next year. In the movement, CET led the announcement, saying, "Caesers Entertainment has announced a plan to renew the sel f-expansion policy aimed at improving the overall guest experience today in its 7 renewal Vegas properties." 。 thank you.

The Rainbow Club in Henderson has reopened. Hoover Dam has resumed walking and driving, although the visitor center and tours inside the dam remain closed. There are also optimistic that some contracts scheduled for January will still be in place and that contracts will start to return in early 2021. Along with recreation, the return of major contracts is a major goal that is now closer to being achieved.

Update 10/14 Security Issues

Hotspots of violence remain in the lanes, forcing the casinos and Metro to take additional protective measures. On the casino side, Wynn Las Vegas was again the first to respond, putting in place new security measures. From Friday morning through Sunday night, anyone entering the Wynn or Encore must go through a metal detector, and bags will also be searched. Hotel room keys will also be scanned at the elevator entrance. All security guards are former police officers, and Las Vegas police officers are also on site. The Crisis and Tactical Response also includes a K-9 team, members of which we saw patrolling the grounds.

After Suits, it quickly became the Cosmopolitan, which now has an enhanced security policy on Friday and Saturday nights. On these nights, patrons cannot enter the premises unless they are a hotel guest, show a Players Club ID, or make a dinner reservation. Patrons are also subject to metal detectors and bag checks, and cannot leave the street without an open or oversized alcoholic drink. One LVA employee went out to dinner with her family on Saturday night. Two of her party went outside for some fresh air after dinner, but were denied entry because they had no more reservations left (they could return if they entered the garage entrance).

I would like to see more casinos start to act. For example, at the D you must show ID upon entry. ID is increasingly being required at every turn. Metro is also aware of this issue, and is working to increase lane presence with both uniformed and plainclothes officers through a program called "Persistent Pressure Mode." This increased presence is palpable. In any case, I have heard that casinos are bringing back much of their security forces that may not have been restored immediately after the shutdown.

Casino safety measures may be of utmost importance given what some have done to them in the past. The following photos/videos were taken by LVA staff at 7am inside the Flamingo about 3 weeks ago.

People sleeping inside the casino - no security.

This shirt-clad operator was actively soliciting patrons on the casino floor.

As you can see, the younger demographic at the bar exudes an intimidating presence (to say the least). This situation needs to be addressed, and it appears to be. Las Vegas is doing what it takes to protect its guests and spread the perception that it is safe to come here. We continue to believe there are no serious safety risks, especially with recent efforts, but we need to be vigilant.

In another big move this week, Wynn Resorts announced that Encore will begin closing Monday through Wednesday starting October 19th at noon. Until further notice, the entire resort will open at 2pm Thursday and close at noon Monday. By then, all guests should have checked out. All amenities at Encore, including restaurants, will remain open during the new hours. The four-night, five-day operation will continue until consumer demand increases. Encore's poker room will move to Wynn and will be open seven days a week. The poker room will be located near the sportsbook on the casino floor.

10/7 Entertainment Update Returns at Midnight

There are no major policy changes this week, with bars remaining open and gathering rules being relaxed. As for the latter, while there's been a lot of fuss about some smaller shows being re-opened, entertainment hasn't changed much yet. In fact, entertainment venues in town outside of the casinos are already hosting some shows. For example, the Mosaic Theatre at the south end of the Strip is showing the male revue Aussie Heat. According to John Katsiolometti, whose LV Review-Journal column "Katch!" is a great source of entertainment information, Mosaic is rapidly expanding its entertainment schedule. The first casino showroom to open will likely be the Downtown Grand, which is set to bring back Delirious Comedy Club on Oct. 15. There's no timetable for the return of major Strip productions.

In other recreations, Spring Spring Nature Park has resumed. And Mountain West Conference, which had postponed the football season last month, has finally decided to play. UNLV and other league teams will play eight games with conference only from October 24. UNLV will probably play a match at the Allét Stadium.

On the other hand, the Rodeo National Finals will be held in December as planned, but will not be held in Las Vegas. Instead, NFR moves to Arlington, Texas. The PRCA contract to hold NFR in Las Vegas is until 2024, so this event will be revived next year. The same is true for the Professional Bull Riders World Finals, and will be relocated to Arlington for one year. The closure of Regal Theater nationwide affects 11 cinemas in Nevada, and affects nine cinemas in Ariante, Palace Station, Green Valley Lunch, Boulder Station, and Red Rock in Las Vegas. 。 It is unknown when it will resume.

Governor Sisolak has raised the 50 public gathering to 250 so that some trade fair venues and theaters can continue ticke t-based performances.

Update 9/30 Show gets a goh head

Another, at least partially, accident of the pandemic is the Monday Night Football party. Once a Las Vegas institution, the party is now on life support. Some of the past MNF bastions, notably the Showroom at South Point, have not been held so far this year. That may change once the bars open and gathering restrictions are relaxed, but the scene has declined significantly in recent years, and casinos may decide to take this opportunity to stay away from MNF parties for good.

Park MGM opened today. Tropicana, Oyo, Henderson's Rainbow Club and MBay's Four Seasons also reopened. Planet Hollywood is set to reopen on October 8th, leaving the Cromwell as the only hotel that remains closed.

Update 9/21 Bars open

The Nevada Covid-19 Covid-19 Task Force unanimously voted last week to allow all bars, taverns, breweries, wineries, distilleries, etc. to open. As of 11:59 p. m. last night, they were allowed to open in Clark County. Customers could once again sit on bar stools, drink alcohol, and play bar-top machines.

We were at the same local PT about the lifting of restrictions on the counter-las night when they were trying to get the gambling machines up and running again in July. In contrast to my previous midnight visit, there was very little crowding. Customers were not lining up to celebrate. There was no countdown. Employees slowly turned on the machines in the bar. As the night went on, some customers walked and sat at the bar, which was somehow why the restrictions were denied, but it did not become an event.

One reason for this was that it was a Sunday night and people had to work in the morning. Also, many bars had moved their machines to the floor, so it was not like you couldn't gamble at the bar. Regardless, we see this as a big positive step in the recovery of Las Vegas and we predict it will start to have an impact on the energy level throughout the city. We'll see the results tonight when the Las Vegas Raiders play the New Orleans Saints at the Baptiste Font at Allegiant Stadium.

Below are the bar rules that were explained to us.

If you enter the store with other people, you can sit with you or sit on a next door at the bar. Otherwise, continuous seats cannot be used unless the machine is separated by a prexiglass partition. In addition, the rules for using the mask will be even more severe. You have to wear a mask when you enter. In most cases, you can remove the mask when sitting, but you must wear a mask when standing or moving around. Everyone is guessing how this will be enforced by the facility, but for now that's the point.

9/15 Updated due to the accommodation fee

As mentioned in the previous update, many people argue that the number of violence cases increased on the weekends of workers because of lo w-cost accommodation rates. The media accepted this theory, and soon everyone began to believe it. A useful excuse. It's also a nonsense!

There are several important factors that are contrary to this idea. First of all, the low price is not what has begun now. Through its history, Las Vegas has set a crisis price to attract customers during the economic recessing period. The good thing is that they do it twice a year in the good times of July and December to maintain tourists. If low interest rates could bring "bad elements", why was this effect in the discount period so far?

In addition, there is a fact that the current discount level is not as low as the past. Certainly, there is a great campaign. For the past two months, the "accommodation fee" has been published in the top ten of LVA. However, the rate is about the recession during the 911, which is a larg e-scale attack on the strip, or from the recession that ranked top ten or near 2016, and for several years. Not low. And what do you guess? On the weekend of Laver Day, the price was not discounted at all, and the Wi n-like place was charged $ 300 per night, and a $ 45 resort fee. Do you think that many lo w-income travelers have come to the town for $ 700? If you enter the store with other people, you can sit with you or sit on a next door at the bar. Otherwise, continuous seats cannot be used unless the machine is separated by a prexiglass partition. In addition, the rules for using the mask will be even more severe. You have to wear a mask when you enter. In most cases, you can remove the mask when sitting, but you must wear a mask when standing or moving around.

9/15 Updated due to the accommodation fee

This is because the political aspects of streetfights are not paid noticed, and there are inevitable questions about social justice, unnecessary, and leadership (or lack). Politics is not our job, so we don't declare which is fair. However, it is a big mistake to pass on responsibility to a bunch of spikes that cause trouble in a way that eliminates one of Las Vegas's most powerful marketing advantage. Now that people need to have a compelling reason to come here, providing special vacation by providing a rocking room is comparable to that. The policy creator who drinks this cool aid at the accommodation fee is next to the city crisis.

Other news was that the state COVID-19 easing and management taskforce unlocked the regulations on the bars in the Washo County and Nai County, but did not release it in Clark and Erco County. In other words, the Reno bar can be completely resumed, but the Las Vegas bar is not yet resumed. Evaluation will be made this week.

MGM Resorts International announced that Park MGM and hotel Nomad will resume on September 30. These are the latest MGM facilities that have returned from closure. In addition, both hotels are opened with completely no n-smoking. It's a bold action that did not work in the past, but it is possible considering the current situation. For this issue, see the results of public opinion polls on gambling and smoking.

9/9 Updated Bar opposes, counter agrees

Nevada's COVID-19 easing and management taskforce decided last week that Las Vegas's bar regulations will continue. However, the restrictions on the restaurant counter have been eliminated today, and can now sit down in restaurants with sushi bars, dining rooms, and bar seats without game consoles. Bars with game consoles on the bar top are still off limits. is because the political aspects of street fights are not paid to the attention, and there are inevitable questions regarding social justice, law, and leadership (or lack).

9/9 Updated Bar opposes, counter agrees

This week, there was a surprise announcement that Wynn Las Vegas will be phasing out its buffet. Wynn said the decision was based on negative feedback from diners about the buffet experience. In other words, the "service" format of ordering from a menu and having it brought to your table was not well received by diners. While the buffets still have the high quality food they are known for, a big part of the buffet experience is being able to perfectly assemble your meal, including picking out exactly what you want from a variety of menus. Another drawback of the format was that you had to order without seeing the food first. Wynn has reworked the format and plans to reopen at an undetermined time. Now, only two buffets remain open in Las Vegas: the Cosmopolitan and the South Point. The reopening of the Bacchanal Buffet at Palace Caesars has also been postponed indefinitely.

The preparations for a larger history are now important connections to the state of the nation at large. Violence broke out across the city over Labor Day weekend, both in and out of casinos. Why? Low room rates brought in the "bad elements." Ε; Blame the price? That's one of the dumbest things we've ever heard on this issue, but everyone seems to take it as a valid excuse. Sorry. More on that in a future update.

As for Labor Day, no official visitor numbers were reported, but the city looked busy. On Monday night, people driving back to LA on I-15 reportedly found themselves stuck in a 22-mile traffic jam before dawn.

9/2 Bank Holiday Update

As we mentioned in our last update, many believe that restrictions in Las Vegas will be lifted at tomorrow's review. One reason for this is the importance of the Labor Day weekend to the casino and bar industry, but recent reports that infection rates in Nevada are declining also support this idea. We will post a report in the Las Vegas News as soon as a decision is made.

The next big debate after bars is the restrictions on live entertainment. This debate was stirred up this week when Governor Sisolak chose to dine at an entertainment restaurant. Governor Sisolak responded that "ambient music" is permitted and within the rules. You can be the judge.

Recent pandemic-related developments include the cancellation of the Veterans Day parade in November and the non-recurrence of the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace, which was expected in August but never materialized. Also, the re-run of the Ocean, which was scheduled for September 1st, has been rescheduled for September 15th. There are rumors that Park MGM will reopen on October 1st, but this is not official.

Update 8/24 2 more weeks

The Nevada Covid-19 Task Force has decided that bars in Las Vegas and Reno should be closed for at least another two weeks. This is the first time I've heard of this "task force" issuing directives, but this is the entity that made this decision. There was a lot of talk last week that restrictions would begin on Thursday, but now bar owners will have to wait for the next review.

A look at the calendar gives us a hint about this decision. Nevada's Covid numbers were not good, so delaying the lifting of the bar-click order may not have looked very good. A two-week delay from last Thursday means that bars could open by September 3rd. We're calling it a yes on September 3rd. Let's vote yes on September 3rd. In the meantime, bars have been moving machines to the floor, and they're likely to stay there, as they will need to be moved to the bar when they reopen.

The Mirage reopens on August 27th, while the Tropicana reopening has been pushed back from September 1st to September 17th, with no firm date. Oyo is still scheduled to open on September 1st. The Silver Nugget in North Las Vegas requested approval for an extension to its closure after opening for a few hours earlier this month. The casino, along with Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho, also in North Las Vegas, and Eldorado in Henderson, are calling for a halt to operations in 2021. It also announced that Virgin Las Vegas may delay its opening into 2021.

The gentleman club "The CHEETAH'S" announced that it will not resume its business, and has announced that Sundance helicopters will continue to operate charter flights, but will stop Las Vegas forever. Caesters Palace's Sears Soccer was closed for unpublished, and Framingo's El octopus Ferris closed.

Update 8/19 Wait for Thursday

Once again, the Las Vegas citizens are hiding in the breath of whether the governor will allow the bar to resume. It was said that it was during the week this week, but on the day before the update of each day, there are signs that are the opposite. Who knows? After tomorrow's press conference, everyone will confirm.

Assuming the answer is no, there will be no rescue from the court. Earlier this week, the judge of the Clark County Federal District Court will close a bar that does not provide a meal, violates equality protection and proper procedures for more than 60 bars that have sued to overturn this order. He ruled that it was not. The door is now closed.

For the first time since the closing in the middle of the month, the movie theater has been available for the first time. The AMC Theater on the Town Square and Promenade Rainbow will open tomorrow. The Silk Like Aquatic Extra Baganza and Le Reva, which opened with Win Las Vegas in 2005, have not yet opened. This is the first major production show that announced that it will not return after closing.

Here is an interesting development. Some bars that did not provide meals are making gaps to continue business. For example, at the famous karaoke joints in Las Vegas Bourvard, Dinos, you must order from a $ 1 menu, such as hot dogs, corn dogs, and takitos before ordering drinks. If you drink multiple drinks, you don't need to r e-order, but at least one must be ordered. It is advantageous to be able to eat dogs for $ 1. In Sagos's two bars, some video poker machines are moved to the floor, making it a rule that you can't play without food. However, there is no need to buy. Both bring chips and salsa when they get to the seat.

Mirage's resumption date was announced on August 27. The Park MGM is now the only MGM Resorts International property. Last week, I was quietly opened Las Vegas Silver Neat. It is open every day, but only open from 8:00 pm to midnight.

UPDATE 8/12 NO ACTION

An initial inspection last Thursday did not find favor with the bar, and it is expected to be inspected again tomorrow, but it remains closed. Predictions on what will happen vary widely, based on somewhat conflicting reports on contamination rates. This blog's main purpose is not to report these numbers (I've covered it in "Vegas News" for major disclosures), so I'll keep the focus on the practical issues that result.

I'm not sure how widespread this is, but it seems that the cocktail servers on the casino floor will "sell" you a drink if you ask. We haven't tried it, but one waitress laughed, calling it "annoying." Another play is to bring your own. There are no rules preventing you from mixing drinks in your room and carrying them with you, or buying beer or wine from the gift shop or concession stand.

No new developments in the casino world. OYO's new reopening date is September 1, the same as the neighboring Tropicana, but OYO has already missed its previous two reopening dates, and the Trop's reopening date is not considered definitive. Inside the casino, many restaurants remain closed and there is no entertainment other than watching the game on the big screen at the sportsbook. It still feels strange. We tried to sum up the situation in one word.

Maybe it is, but it's not for everyone. We continue to hear from guests that they had a great time on their trip. We think gaming is the main attraction and it's certainly an area where this can be done in abundance with only casino machines not in operation. Casinos aside, many bars have moved their machines to the floor so it's not practical to list them anymore. The local crowds are returning, so those who want to play may be put on a waiting list.

Keep an eye out for opportunities for bargain hunters starting to emerge. As noted in the August Las Vegas Advisor, room rates are starting to drop. Recently, we found daily rates of $64 at Luxor, $61 at The STRAT, $58 at Orleans, $57 at Excalibur, $45 at Four Queens and El Cortez, and $41 at Wild Wild West. This week, Caesars announced a $10 special offer for rooms only at Flamingo and Harrah's. Reservations were only accepted for one day, but LVA readers who are on the email list (you can sign up in the sidebar on this page) were notified and were able to book.

Airfare is also a bargain. In July, Southwest ran a promotion for $49 one-way and Frontier for $21 round-trip. Anthony Curtis flew to Burbank for $78 round-trip and to Reno for $58 round-trip (plus taxes and fees). See Michaels Trager and Friedman's related blog post, "The Travel Game." A recent post identifies the safest airlines, with the primary goal of avoiding the virus: Southwest, JetBlue, and Delta. Don't miss Conrad's Capers, a new blog where economist Conrad Stanley walks you through the complicated steps of how to get a low-cost airline for the price of a 10-mile Uber ride.

In other news, a huge SEMA contract has been canceled. There will be no college football at UNLV (likely to be played in the spring) after the Mountain West postponed its season. It was also announced that fans will not be allowed to attend Las Vegas Raiders home games during the 2020-2021 season, meaning NFL games will be played in shiny new, but empty, stadiums. That's a shame.

Updated 8/5 on a weekly basis

In a speech Monday, the Nevada governor said bars in four high-risk counties, including Las Vegas, Clark, and Washoe, Reno, should remain closed. But starting Aug. 6, assessments will be on a weekly basis, so orders to reopen could come as early as tomorrow.

On the other hand, each bar has permission to remodel up to seven game consoles into an independent individual on the floor. Unless the governor is convicted, he seems to have a shortest way to open a bar. This week is the resumption order, this week or next week i s-140.

The CEO of the station, Frank Fertitta III, stated at this week's financial results briefing that the schedule of Palms, Texas Station, and Feasta was undecided. On a bright side, the Red Rock Resort, Boulder Station, and Sun Tefestation poker rooms have been resumed. These rooms, which are open all year round, have a prexiglass barrier between players, so the table is qualified to accommodate eight players per person. Players and staff are required to wear face masks.

The ocean is not in time for the second opening, which was announced on August 4, and is currently aiming for September 1st. During the 2020-2021 season, it was announced that all Raiders' home games will be held without fans on the new stadium. The news was announced last week in a letter addressed to the Season Ticket owner. Garse Brooks' concerts scheduled to be held on August 22 were changed on February 27. The Daisies Electric Carnival, which was changed from May to October, was completely canceled. What happens next? Please look forward to it.

Update 7-29 steps

This week, Nevada's Governor Steve Saizolak said in a television speech this week to escape from the method of determining the state's reconstruction protocol. The state was initially planned to have at least four stages, but this decision was indispensable because it was not allowed to proceed after the second stage. Mr. Sisolak also brought the bar closure in three of the seven county counties, but Clark, Washo, Nai, and Elco's bars must remain closed, and the bar in Las Vegas remains off. It means that. , on the other hand, each bar has permission to remodel up to seven game consoles into an independent individual on the floor.

Update 7-29 steps

Certainly there was no closing mood. Near the bar, don't do business, even if you just pay the drinks brought to the floor. In fact, any kind of bars, including the salad bars in the restaurant, are also closed. At the South Point Buffet, Bloody Mary was provided free of charge for breakfast, and it used to be a service bar in the past, but now the waitress is delivered ($ 95 breakfast buffet is a 9 5-cent breakfast buffet. Essential, especially for LVA members, 2 to 1 coupon for printing benefits). The movement hit the bar industry, and 37 owners of the Clark County Bar participated in a lawsuit to overturn the order. The lawsuit is under dispute and does not seem to have enough time to cancel the order.

At a casino, you will definitely feel the effect of trying to take a drink. It is almost impossible to drink a cocktail unless you play and get a drink on the floor or eat at a restaurant. Some lounges are open, so if the waitress is working, you can get it there. The order of closing is reviewed every week.

BALLY'S will open as notice on July 23, and OYO will open a new opening on August 4. There is no additional news about the resumption of casinos. The largest convention of Las Vegas, the home appliance show held every January, was canceled. This is the first big event to be canceled in 2021. The scheduled date of the show has been postponed, and September 1 is common, but the possibility is low.

7/16 Updated Main Details

Of the 17 counties of Nevada, lockout orders have been issued in seven counties: Clark, Washo, Nai, Elco, Humbold, Lander, and Lion. There is Las Vegas in Clark County, and Reno is in Washo County. Douglas County, where Lake Taho is located, is not included. According to direct reports, the bar is overflowing.

At present, the order has been announced on July 24 that it will be r e-evaluated, and the closing may last for two weeks. However, 37 bar managers filed a joint lawsuit in order to withdraw the order. The complaint states that there is no reasonable basis for separately installing approved facilities, ignoring other similar businesses. Certainly there was no closing mood. Near the bar, don't do business, even if you just pay the drinks brought to the floor. In fact, any kind of bars, including the salad bars in the restaurant, are also closed.

7/16 Updated Main Details

Meanwhile, not all bars are closed. Many remain open for food service, and some have installed floor machines (not for barbecue) and are open for play. So far, Crown & Anchor East and West, Casino Valley Verde, Mad Matty's, Winchell's (Ann Rd.), and Four Barrels have confirmed they are open. The floor exemption also allows machines in supermarkets, convenience stores, and other non-bars, as well as most Dotty's, Jackpot Joanie's, and the likes of others.

South Point has reopened its buffet. Diners must wear masks while selecting, and food is served by waitstaff. Masks can be removed once customers return to their tables. Caesars Palace's Bacchanal Buffet is set to open in August.

Lucky Club in North Las Vegas has reopened without table games. It's unclear if the move is permanent, but other smaller casinos that recently removed tables (such as Wild Wild West and Arizona Charlie's Boulder) remain machine-only.

Bally's on July 23 and Tropicana on September 1. This seems to support the idea that demand is high enough to justify a repeat. But is it? Meanwhile, the Palazzo will stop taking Monday-Thursday lodging reservations starting July 21. Other facilities, including the casino, restaurants, and major channels, will remain open on weekdays. Weekday crowds were light.

Update 7/10 - Bars close again

As we reported in our Update on July 8, there was discussion of the possibility of some bars recovering due to the increase in virus cases, but on Thursday the governor issued an order to "close bars as of 11:59 p. m." The July 9 order seemed sudden, leaving many confused as to why it was issued and what the details were. While a surge in COVID-19 cases was cited as the main reason for the closure, the governor's announcement also seemed to have a tone of wanting to strike back (or teach a lesson) at establishments that "didn't heed the warnings." Regardless, bars in Las Vegas, Reno, and several other parts of Nevada are in various states of closure, ranging from completely closed to mostly open.

It's complicated, but as we understand it, the order prohibits entry to restaurants and bar areas, including bars inside casinos. Bars that serve food will remain open at 50% capacity, with patrons eating inside and ordering drinks at their tables. This order effectively closes bars without kitchens. We haven't had time to actually check it out yet. But the wording of the order means that establishments that serve food will be allowed to open of their choosing. This includes establishments like Dottie's and Jackpot Joanie's. Unlike the first closure, the gambling machines have not been turned off, so places like Dottie's should be allowed to admit gamblers, since the machines are on the floor and not in the bar. Some bars are the same, such as Both Crown & Anchors, Mad Matty's, and Casino Valley Verde. We'll have to visit and check this out.

There is resentment among bar workers that the casinos are allowed to stay open. You can't play on the bar top machines, and you can't go in and buy drinks. You can't play bar-top machines or go in and buy drinks. There's no timeline for when this decision will go into effect.

Updated 7/8 - City Dilution

It's been a little over a month since casinos and bars have reopened. Weekdays are sparse, as is the situation at most casinos. Bars seem to be faring better, supported by locals. It's not helping matters that Nevada's Covid-19 numbers are rising (7/9's Issue of the Day has a rundown of the numbers). Will the casinos be closed again? We don't think so, but there are reasons why they might be. Las Vegas needs traffic to bounce back, but people are still hesitant to fly. As a result, there are some really good deals on flights, like $49 one-way on Southwest and Spirit (stay tuned for a "Conrad's Capers" blog post coming up on 7/11, where we'll reveal some tactics for getting cheap Spirit fares).

One certain thing is that the rules are becoming more and more severe regarding the following security obligations. Some casinos and bars require masks when drinking. When drinking, the mask is lowered and then the mask is to be replaced. The card delivered to D is written: "When enjoying alcohol, replace SIP, Swig, GUZZE, and mask ..." The strictness of crackdowns varies, but casinos and bars have been examined about 7, 500 for about 2, 500 gaming licenses in Nevada, that is, about 3 tests per facility. It is protected by the enthusiasm indicated by the regulatory authorities. I have not confirmed that Win Las Vegas has been fined by playing Blackjack without a mask on a high roller. Also, if you find a place where you are not wearing a mask on a casino floor, security may jump.

Officially, after the extension was obliged last week, Nevada will stay in the current second stage until the end of July. There are no major changes except that the rules that have already been determined on the safety protocol and most live entertainment are extended. Looking at the "7/1 Update" exhibition open list, all the previous July opens have moved in August. Similarly, the opening of the cinema has been opened, and most of the cinemas in the casino are scheduled to be reopened on July 24.

Later, the only progress on the casino open schedule was that the Feasta Henderson resumed at the earliest in June 2021. Following Fiesta Rancho and Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho and Texas Station have been finalized. It was also announced that the Global Gaming Expo, the largest trade fair in the game industry, held in October every year.

7/1 Update Mask Ondeded

As shown in the "memo" attached to the previous update, "People may gather and at least 6 feet (about 1. 5 meters) cannot secure a social space of at least 6 feet (about 1. 5 meters). In "", it was obliged to wear a mask. Exceptions include children under the age of 10, people with dangerous medical conditions and disabilities in wearing masks, and people who eat and drink at restaurants and bars. In other words, at the moment, when entering a casino, you may be sent off if you do not wear a mask. You can remove it when you drink a cup or sit in a restaurant, but when you leave your seat or go to the bathroom, you have to r e-attach it. You must always wear it when playing on a table or slot machine. It's hard to remember, but after a while you will be able to do it naturally. Depending on the mask, it is convenient to lower it from your neck or put it in your pocket so that you can install it immediately when you need it. This commandment seems to be quite serious. We have been asked by security guards to make a mask when you forget it.

The mask is only a final precautionary measure, but the measures vary from place to place. Anthony Curtis explained the situation to the Las Vegas Congress. "Some casinos check the temperature at the entrance, some casinos do not do it. Some casinos are checked, and some casinos do not do. I was checked in five different ways. By the way, this is not scary or painful. You may need to take a picture of the machine easily and hold your wrist. There are no masks at the entrance of the mask, but at the moment, Deuler, Waitress. And even the dancer is worn in some casinos and barriers in the game. There are many sodiums that are always removed by removing their hands and bar areas. It is amazing!

Update 6/2 4-Installation

About three weeks have passed since the casino reopened, Vegas seems to have settled in everyday life. The congestion of the casino is not very consistent. One day, if a casino is full, it is almost empty the next day. However, in general, it seems to be decreasing. On the other hand, the bar is performing well. According to an anecdote, most bars are crowded, for example, PT'S recorded more than last year.

The biggest update is the rules for wearing masks. Last week, Governor Nevada required a mask to wear a table game in all casinos. Today, Caesers Entertainment casinos have taken a step further and announced that all guests will be required to wear face masks, except for drinking and meals at casino facilities nationwide. At present, there is no rule in other casinos in Las Vegas. (Note: Just a few hours after this update was announced, Governor Sisolak in Nevada issued a statement that obliges masking in public places. This includes all casinos. This order is June. It will come into effect on the 26th)

What surprised me was poker. Opened in Caesters Palace, Velagio, Venetian, Orleans, South Point, and Sahara. Initially, up to four, it was alleviated so that most games could play up to five people and Bellagio could play up to six people.

Although it is not usually open, there are gentleman clubs that are open as bars. Play It Again Sam's is one of the only two topless clubs that have video poker machines (the other Club Platinum (Club Platinum)). ) And this is not open). However, CentralFolds Cabaret and Palomino Club in North Las Vegas in Paradise are also open. In Paromino, girls are actually dancing, and some girls are wearing patties, but they don't dance. There are no dancers in the other two.

If you go to the Fremont Street Experience, make sure you have ID. There will be turnstiles at the intersections of the streets, and ID checks will likely be conducted. If you can enter from the casino, you'll be fine. However, if you enter from the east or west, you will likely need to show ID. Since the iteration, entry to the FSE has been restricted to those 21 and older, and security is shot down at these entry points regardless of age. For example, if you walk across the plaza and want to return the same way but don't have ID, you may be denied entry.

Updated 6/17 - Status Quo

At a press conference on Monday, the Nevada governor said the state will remain in Phase 2 of its recovery plan, and nothing will change for the time being while infectious disease data continues to be collected and investigated. There was no information on when the state will move to Phase 3 or what measures will be mandated in that phase. All the rules currently in place at casinos will remain in place, but a directive has been issued to make mask wearing stricter for patrons.

The big surprise is the opening of the buffet at Wynn Las Vegas, which will begin accepting guests starting Thursday. According to a press release, diners will order from the menu and staff will bring "good portions" of food to guests' tables. Reservations are required. What we don't yet know is what "good shares" means. One of the best things about a buffet is that it's a small multi-course meal. Would you tell the server to bring two cherry tomatoes? While most of it sounds like something you'd eat at a regular restaurant, we've already heard from groups who tried it during their internships and "loved it." Prices range from $36. 99 for a weekday brunch to $65. 99 for weekend dinner.

The return of live entertainment at the Fremont Street Experience was supposed to happen today, but it never made it out of the gates. After announcing that live bands would return to the outdoor stage, state officials put a stop to the idea, so we'll just have to be content with DJs for a while longer.

There is also a lot of talk about requiring patrons to wear masks. Some casinos, such as those under the Caesars Entertainment Group (Caesars Palace, Harrah's, Flamingo, etc.), require masks when seated at table games. However, no casinos have yet required masks just for entry.

O'Shea's opened last week. Paris and Westgate opened June 18. Aria, Mandalay Bay, and Luxor opened June 25. And OYO has moved its opening date from August to July.

Mirage, Park MGM, Bally's, The Cromwell, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Tropicana, Palms, Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, Fiesta Henderson, Main Street Station, Silver Nugget, Eldorado, Eureka, Skyline.

UPDATE 6/10 - OPEN CASINO

The casino opened as scheduled on June 4th at 12:01am, bringing an end to a 78-day closure. Outside the casino, patrons lined up to wait for the doors to open. At the bar, players were put on the video poker machines, counting down to midnight. Of course, the machines had to be started one by one, and the players in the front seats had taken their action before they even got to the bar.

I considered stopping the blog at this point, but I think readers want to know what's going on and what the day-to-day situation is, so I'll continue for now. An important point to highlight is that no one seems to know what the rules are. Each party has a different interpretation of how to conduct business within the stated operating guidelines, and they seem to be making it up for themselves. More details to come in future updates.

An example of how to do it can be seen on the open timeline. Currently, most casinos are open, and most of the closed casinos are CET and MRI groups. At the time of writing this article, the open CET facilities are Caesters Palace, Flamingo and Harraz, but LinQ will open on June 11. MRI's open facility is Bellagio, MGM Grand, NY-NY. However, Excalibur will also open on June 11, and Aria, Mandalay Bay and Luxor will also open on June 25. MRI initially said that Mbay and Luxor did not open from March to April 2021, and Aria would not open from July to August 2021. This is a good plan change. Operators must feel that demand will justify sudden acceleration at this time. The casino was busy on the first weekend, and this week's no n-participation was noticeable, but not as expected. The following is a list of casinos that have not yet opened.

West Gate Las Vegas (planned 6/18)

Oyo (scheduled for 8/1)

Mirage, Park MGM, Bally, Paris, Chromewell, Osciars, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Tropicana, Texas Station, Feastranto, Fiesta Larin, Main Street Station, Silver Naguts, Eldrad, Eureka, Skyline.

Update 6/1-Las Vegas holiday 76th day

Yes, the 76th day. We wrote on the 57th day: "If the first casino in Las Vegas opens, or if the first bar set up a video poker machine, it will be the end of the shutdown. That day it should come on Thursday, the casino is open. The bar machine will be operated at 12:01 am on June 4 (Pacific Standard Time).

The green light business described in "Update 5/27" opened as scheduled on May 29, which includes a bar, to get the opening of the store that night. I went to the west of our office, and the other stores were open on June 4. The bar was almost full, but it was not full, but there was almost no mask.

Interesting development is that Caesers Entertainment initially suggested only Caesters Palace and Flamingo, but will open Harraz on June 5. The press release, which announces the opening of the business, stated that the customer demand far exceeded expectations.

The opening on Thursday is a complication from the confusion of the national politics following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. Initially, Ras Vegas's protest demonstrations were relatively small, but there were two shooting cases (one was a police officer, and the other was a demonstration of the armed demonstration). It is a big escalating (see Vegas News for details on Nevada). Casino companies say they will carry out the opening schedule on Thursdays, expect hig h-level security guards by police and state soldiers, and hig h-level security in the casino by private security units.

Update 5/27 --Las Vegas Finish Line 71st

The start date is finally clear. The governor announced yesterday that the second stage of Nevada resuming will begin on May 29. With this order, bars, gyms, fitness centers, spas, massage services, tattoo parlors, recreation areas, pools, movie theaters, and movie theaters. Bowling alley, water park, museum, museum, shopping mall, youth sports. A rally at churches that do not exceed 50 is allowed. Casino is banned for another week, but is allowed to open on June 4 after waiting for the lottery management committee's guidance. Nightclubs, dayclabs, and sports events where the resumption schedule has not been decided is excluded. What is not discussed anywhere is the situation of gaming machines installed in places other than casinos, such as bars and convenience stores. When the bar opens on Friday, the gaming machine has not been operated and it is likely that the operation will resume with the casino on June 4. The second stage seems to last for a few weeks. Additional updates are as follows.

Adding MGM Grand-As mentioned in "5/13 Update", many major operators reduce casino opens. As a new development, MGM Grand has been added to Bellagio and NY-NY to the MRI resort that opens in the first round.

Immediately after the show parking-MRI caught the paid parking, Cosmopolitan and Cisas's Entertainment followed. Currently, parking lots are free at all movie casinos. However, Caesters, MGM, and Cosmopolitan have the potential to revive paid parking lots in the future. Downtown casinos are still charged, but all have simple validation options.

Resort Fees - (Note: We originally wrote here that Sahara had dropped their resort fees. We are currently investigating.)

Promo Launch - Derek Stevens of D and Golden Gate is giving away 1, 000 free flights to Las Vegas from over 20 major US cities. Stevens' "Keep America Flying" promotion is aimed at boosting tourism in Las Vegas and the national aviation industry. Participants can register and reserve their seats on a first-come, first-served basis at THED. com. Cities that still have seats available are listed there. Note: Tickets are one-way only. All lodging and additional costs are the responsibility of the recipient. This is the first of many good and interesting promos we hope to see. (Note: Tickets sold out within an hour of our posting.)

A. C. Take - Anthony Curtis guested on Michael Trager's "Zorkcast." Michael is one of the directors (with Mike Friedman) of our blog, The Travel Game, and there was a lot to talk about in this discussion. You can watch the show on YouTube.

UPDATE 5/18 - Las Vegas Shutdown Day 62

It's been two months since the shutdown began, as more data needs to be collected before the state of Nevada moves from its current Phase 1 to Phase 2. No other details have been released. Since no one seems to know what these phases mean and there is little solid information on who will be opening and when, the information presented earlier in this blog merely represents our best guess on the timeline. Below is a general update.

FREE PARKING AT MRI - Big news! Free parking will be back when MGM Resorts International reopens its nine hotel-casinos. "MGM Resorts is updating many of its offerings in preparation for welcoming guests back, including implementing free parking. When parking fees are reinstated, they are expected to remain in place, as well as paid parking during events. This is just the beginning. We would be shocked if any businesses open that require paid parking," the statement said.

Downtown excursio n-a container park opened last week. This park, where restaurants, bars, and shops gather in the East Freemont district, are crowded with many people. The park was not for group guests, but it was not quiet. Several restaurants and shops are open, but the playground is closed, and Manti, a mechanical device, is resting (usually breathing up and down and blowing fire).

The independent bar is also closed. The bars other than restaurants and the bar area in the restaurant are closed.

Many downtown restaurants also accept meals. It is not the end of the closed casino, but on the east side of the free material. When this happens, you have to do it. I don't know where the date of May 23 in the photo above came from and whether the situation would change at that time, but now I can't buy cocktails wherever I go. You can drink at a restaurant, but you have to order food. You don't have to be Fulmir. Order an appetizer for the table and then order drinks. Especially in outdoor patio, you can see that it is used in many places.

The restaurant in the casino is closed, even if the casino is closed. However, there is only one condition. The same is true for the toilet. In other words, you can go outside, but you can't open a restaurant with a toilet outside the premises. With this rule, restaurants in the resort will not open until the casino in the resort opens.

Casino Open in other state s-Most people think that casinos will be empty immediately after opening, but given the casino opening in other states, there are evidence that they are not. In all cases the casino reopened, there have been many people. In the most recent example, five casinos opened in the Phoenix district last week, but customers had a hard time searching for empty machines due to congestion. According to reports, about half of the customers wore a mask. Downtown excursio n-a container park opened last week.

The prizes are $ 300 for tw o-day stay and prize at the Strat or Golden Gaming Laughlin facility. Although it is not as exciting as the first time, it is a fun roll that awarded the prize to the top fifth place. For details on how to play, see 4/19 updates on this blog.

5/13 Update d-Las Vegas closed 57th day

First. As in the previous update, Las Vegas restaurants and retailers are starting to resume. So is the shutdown still continuing? Nevada's business is gambling and entertainment, but there is no such thing so far. So, in our expectations, the closure is continuing. If the first casino opens in Las Vegas or the video poker machine is operating in the first bar, it will be considered to be the end of the closure. It may be soon, but the situation is changing every day, and it is not easy to score.

The open date is moving to change the plan regularly. There was a statement on May 15th, but today is May 13th, and it will not happen in recent days. Both Wynn and Sands were aiming for June 1, but before, Sands was later. Wynn sent a note to the employees that May 26 will be returned to work. Or she? Ti has just announced a statement that it will open on May 22. Sands says, "When in June." I don't know exactly what it is until someone opens the door.

What is more interested now is which casino will open. Companies with many casinos tend to open only a few casinos, and the rest tends to shift the remaining time. For example, MGM opens Bellagio and New York New York. It is a to p-class high quality facility and the most efficient lo w-end options. It sounds reasonable, but look at the rest of the plan. Although not official, according to reports from multiple information streaks, the current resumption schedule of other facilities is as follows:

Park MGM October 2020

MGM Grand January 2021

MBAY/LUXOR March/April 2021

Aria 2021 July / August

Mirage 2021 October / November

Caesers seem to have the same strategy. The company held a press conference this week, but at that time, he explained the procedure of removal and hygiene management, and did not talk much. However, the next day, CET announced that the lower facilities specified as Caesers Palace were opened first, and that other facilities will not be scheduled. The casino at the station does not open all facilities at the same time. According to the report, both Texas Station, Fiesta and Palms will not resume immediately. It is unknown whether the Palace Station, Boulder Station, Sunset Station, Santa Fe Station, and Green Valley Lunch and Red Rock will return immediately, but the former four will not return. Boyd says that three casinos in downtown, Fremont, California, and Main Street Station cannot be opened immediately.

Behind this is the uncertainty of what happens when you open the door. Interestingly, some of the first casinos that opened all over the United States were in demand immediately.

At the opening of the Oklahoma Stands of Thunderbird Casino, only 50 % of the capacity was entered, and a line was formed. After the opening of the Norunk Estror and Casino in Washington D. C., the outflow of the executive casino. I lost. "In Montana, Golden Gaming has resumed business on trails and is booming.

These casinos are almost regional casinos supported by local daytime customers. Las Vegas's "local" casinos also have a similar customer base, so at least they may grow up at least. Las Vegas's strip is facing more difficult tasks because it depends on lon g-term residents coming by plane. Las Vegas Strip is facing a more difficult challenge.

At the opening of the Oklahoma Stands of Thunderbird Casino, only 50 % of the capacity was entered, and a line was formed. After the opening of the Norunk Estror and Casino in Washington D. C., the outflow of the executive casino. I lost. "In Montana, Golden Gaming has resumed business on trails and is booming.

These casinos are almost regional casinos supported by local daytime customers. Las Vegas's "local" casinos also have a similar customer base, so at least they may grow up at least. Las Vegas's strip is facing more difficult tasks because it depends on lon g-term residents coming by plane. Las Vegas Strip is facing a more difficult challenge.

Update 5/8 --Las Vegas closed 52

At a press conference yesterday, Governor Sisolak stated that the state would enter the phase 1 of the reconstruction plan at 0:01 am on May 9, which is nearly one week earlier than the original schedule (the period is called zero phase. It was). Companies that are judged to be not essential are allowed. This includes restaurants and bars that provide meals outside the casino (prohibited from sitting at the bar) and allowed to accept customers with meals. Retails, salons, car dealers, and marijuana pharmacies are also allowed to open. Continuing businesses include casinos, bars that do not provide meals, nightclubs, gyms, gyms, cinemas, boring areas, tattoo piercans, strip clubs, prostitution, shopping malls, etc.

Companies that open in the store need to keep a strict guidelines to keep hygiene and distance. Among them, employees in contact with customers are required to wear masks, and the premises are limited to 50 % of the permitted operating rates. In a strange place, only customers who have reserved restaurants and lounges can enter the store. The specification of this first stage is until May 31, but it may be changed faster.

The resumption date of the casino has not yet been decided, and the gambling machine in the bar is still turned off. The casino can open when Nevada Gaming Control is approved. The specific process before the casino opens permission is not revealed, but the gaming seems to entrust the timing to each facility. Wynn Las Vegas has set a goal on June 1, which matches the plan announced by Sands Corp.. All comments are intended to open some casinos and restaurants in stages.

Update 5/2 --Las Vegas closed 46th day

The second closing deadline (April 30) has passed. Last week, the Governor of Sisolak extended a 1 4-day expiration date, and there was a possibility that the home order would be lifted on May 15. However, from May 4th, restrictions on unnecessary urgent retailers, worship places, and outdoor activities will be alleviated.

However, from May 4th, restrictions on unnecessary urgent retailers, worship places, and outdoor activities will be alleviated. Some questions were resolved in this announcement, but no major questions were resolved: when will the casino open?

Governor Sisolak has avoided answering this question. In an interview with Good Morning America, he said that casinos won't open until "phase three or four" of the plan, but he won't reveal what that plan is. He seems keen to avoid taking responsibility for the decision, and in a local interview, he slightly acknowledged it: "Whether the casinos open or not is up to gambling control. Now, at least we know who's on the hook for that."

In Las Vegas' April Consultant lead article, Anthony Curtis predicts the opening date:

The May 15 lift is pretty broad, so it paves the way for a full opening. Other states will open their casinos in the meantime. The president's federal government is pushing for all businesses to open. And most importantly, the public is fretting. There are protests and reports of Las Vegas opening. Mayor Caroline Goodman (wife of former Mayor Oscar) was on a mission to lift the ban, to the point that she was catapulted into the national media. CNN Her intentions were strengthened, even though she bore the brunt of the opposition after her high-profile skirmish with Anderson Cooper in 2016. Finally, the casinos have set a date, but it's a subtle pressure application. This pressure will only increase as the deficit mounts. The idea is that the casinos will open sooner rather than later.

May 22 is the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, overlapping with a date already announced by Wynn, and seems like the perfect choice. The problem is Sisolak's "Phase 3 or 4" statement. If he keeps his word, May 22 is too close to May 15 to move to Phase 2, Phase 3, and so on. So, while I previously thought June was out of the question, I now feel it's likely.

If that happens, it will be early June. If it's mid-June I'd be surprised, and there's no way they'll push it back to July. As mentioned before, the Venetian/Palazzo has been targeting June 1 all along, and they seem pretty covered. Mark June 1st.

After the AC report, Sisolak's transition to gaming control was made, and a major hurdle was removed. A May 22-June 1 opening is now the likely date.

During the week of the LVA deadline, I called to see when the casino hotels would start accepting reservations. I didn't have time to include this in the extra edition, but here are the results:

May 14th reservations accepted

May 15th reservations accepted

All Caesars locations, all Station locations, all Boyd locations, Cosmopolitan, Ti, South Point, Oyo, The D, Golden Gate, Tuscany

Reservations accepted May 22nd

Wynn, Encore, Sahara, Westgate

May 29th reservations accepted

June 1st

All locations MGM, Venetian, Palazzo, Four Seasons (MBay), Elara (Planet Hollywood)

All hotels not on the list did not accept reservations. These are just hotels, but most would not open a hotel without a casino. MGM Resorts International announced that two hotels, NY-NY and Bellagio, are likely to open first. Boyd said they would open a casino at the first opportunity. Wynn/Encore changed from 5/15 to 5/22. First come, first served. Check this blog and the "Vegas News" on the homepage for the latest information.

Update 4/25-Las Vegas Vacation Day 39

When? That's the question on everyone's mind right now. When will the casinos reopen? It's a tough call. The Nevada governor announced a plan at a press conference last week that would make reopening conditional on reporting infection results, although there is no date. He clarified that schools will not be reconnected this year, but he declined to say when casinos, bars and other closed businesses will be allowed to open. As of now, the general closure order is in effect until April 30, but it seems unlikely to be lifted on May 1. Wynn/Encore and Ti have announced plans to open on May 15, but this requires approval. Venetian/Palazzo is targeting May 31.

The politically correct stance is to stay shut down as long as necessary, but no one knows what that means and people are starting to get nervous. Other states are starting to open, with casinos setting their own dates and applying mild pressure, plus public outcry to get back to work. The April 30th deadline will likely be extended, but not until June. Right now, we're winning above and below May 15th.

On the other hand, the event is canceled and postponed. The 51st World Series of Poker, which was scheduled to open on May 26, is the most noticeable. The tournament is currently aiming for the fall of 2020, and the accurate schedule and events are undecided. Daisy's electric carnival is finally abandoned and moved from May to October. Life is Beautiful Art & Music Festival, which was scheduled to be held throughout the downtown area for three days from September 18 to 20, was completely canceled this year.

The casino's fai r-city venue is not closed forever, but is thought to be one of the last resort facilities to return. For example, MGM Resorts International has postponed the resumption of entertainment facilities from May 10 to June 1 as the best scenario. All shows and events are moving goals, but we know it and keep posting the latest list.

He also told you that some buffets will not be back, but it is a nice news for those who are worried that the buffet will be completely gone. The Saesers Palace's 60 0-seat Bacanal buffet is scheduled to be renovated by $ 2. 4 million. If this buffet is not resumed, Caesers will not spend the money, and the renewed back Canal will open as a blue photo of how the buffet after closing is assembled.

Note. To participate in the PT weekly contest mentioned above on this blog, you need to apply by the last day of tomorrow (April 26). I thought it was just a video poker, but this week is Cabeman Keno. It's fun and free, and it's a link to the past and future of Las Vegas. Please try it.

Update 4/1 9-Las Vegas holiday 33rd day

Looking for something? Here are some free and fun online entertainment that can reach the itchy poker video. Play at home while waiting for a close.

Video Poker Tournament-Pt Entertainment Team holds a weekly $ 5. 000 online tournament, "$ 15. 000 Shuffles Crazy Weekly Video Poker Tournament". The tournament will be held for three weeks, and today is the last day of playing the first week. To play, you need to download the PT app and have a True Reward (old gold reward) card. Players receive 10 or 20 entry every week, depending on the tier level. There is no rule that hinders playing outside the state, so if you have a card, you should be able to participate.

Each entry plays 20 hands, with the top 10 being paid, and 1st and 2nd place being paid $1, 000 each. Of course, with so many players, you have to aim for the big results. This means playing the game with the highest variance: the triple double bonus. If you wait to play the last two days of each tournament, you'll have a pretty good idea of what to shoot for. That means you should keep your aces at every opportunity, and generally throw pairs, straights, flush draws, and even straights, flushes, and full houses less often.

You're not playing video poker here, you're playing a video poker tournament.

See the PT website for how to register. If you're reading this after April 19th, you can still play the second week tournament until April 26th and the third week tournament until May 3rd.

The downside of the LVA Game Room - PT competition is that once the entries run out, you can't play anymore. But don't worry, you can switch to the LVA Game Room. This is an area that is not yet fully developed, but you can play a few games for free.

The first is Ultimate X Video Poker. If you have never played this game, this is a great opportunity to try it out. In Ultimate X, you play 10 coins per hand and only receive a 5 coin payout, but if you make a payout combination, you also receive a multiplier (up to 12x) on subsequent hands. This game will take you on a wild journey.

The second is an experimental game called Super Texas Hold'em. It is a Texas Hold'em variant that is asking for bottom-level testing. It is intuitive and fun. By putting new games like Super Texas Hold'em in this section, we hope to give you an opportunity to try them out and provide feedback. We will work to get this corner fixed, but for now, it will be a nice diversion.

Update 4/18 - Las Vegas Shutdown Day 32

Two days have passed since the original casino reopening date, and there are less than two weeks until the deadline for the closure extension. I've been asked a lot of questions about what I think will happen on May 1st. If I were to bet, I would take it, although not by a large margin. The pressure to reopen is growing. I wouldn't be surprised to see some casinos open on May 1st, but I would be very surprised if nearly all the casinos aren't open by June.

Will all casinos reopen? That's not easy to answer. The Lakeside Inn on Lake Tahoe's South Shore has already announced that it will not reopen. There will be more casinos like Lake, as government incentive programs are hostile to small casinos. What about bars? This is another bad situation for gambling, which is treated differently from other businesses, even as it proliferates across America. For unknown reasons, bars and taverns that make more than half their revenue from gambling, or more than $1 million per year, are excluded from federal assistance. As a result, not only are many gambling bars being forced to close, they are also unable to participate in the stimulus package. We believe this is a terrible injustice and could lead to the permanent closure of gambling venues that have been quasi-institutional for decades.

Most major projects, including Allegiant Stadium, LV Convention Center, Resorts World, and Circa, continue to move forward despite the positive coronations that have been made. Virgin's Hard Rock conversion joins that group. According to the CEO of Virgin Las Vegas, neither the scope nor the timeline of the project have changed, and the resort is on track to reopen at the end of this year.

Another question is whether buffets will return, given expected changes in protocols in public spaces, including restaurants. Although it has not been confirmed, it is believed that buffets at Golden Nugget and Treasure Island will not be reopened at any of the locations. While it is unlikely that buffets will be eliminated entirely, it is almost certain that the number of options available will be reduced.

Support what casinos can do to lift the spirits. In a clear concerted effort, the chain of movie hotel towers selected lit-up rooms at the front to spell out messages of unity and commitment. Wynn and Encore led the way. Encore rooms were lit up in the shape of a heart, and Wynn rooms, which originally read "#vegas strong", now say "hope shines bright".

Did I mention that the sky is blue at 5pm and it's 74pm? Let's open this up

Updated 4/12 - Day 26 of my Las Vegas vacation

Today is Easter. Normally we would post a list of Easter egg hunts and other activities, and update you on special menus and crowds in the Vegas News. This year there will be no such thing for Easter. The entire state of Nevada is on lockdown until at least April 30.

So what happens? Some casinos have said they will open on May 1, but that can only happen if the closure orders are not extended, which is the best case scenario. One sector that will not reopen in May is entertainment. Most shows are not scheduled to resume until June at the earliest.

Yesterday, the Nellis-based Air Force Thunderbirds Demonstration Squadron surprised Las Vegas residents with a 25-minute flight to 16 hospitals caring for more than 500 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The flight route covered the entire valley, from Summerlin to Henderson. Six aircraft participated, flying in tight formation, sometimes just 3 feet apart, at speeds up to 450 mph.

Anthony Curtis was in his office when the planes came. He says he could see the formation clearly for just a moment before the deafening roar and the planes shot past his window and disappeared from view. These guys are on the move! In a series of videos posted on the Las Vegas Review-Journal website, you can see some good shots. The shots are spliced together randomly, but there are some good ones, and if you're patient, you'll eventually get to a great view from inside the cockpit.

By the way, Anthony is the only one in the office every day. They won't be on sale until the casinos reopen, but I'm sure there will be some good ones.

Update 4/8-Las Vegas Shutdown Day 22

The casino closure continues, but there are some bright spots.

Do you have a Nevada State Bank credit card? If you have one, you can get 10% cash back when you use it for restaurant pickup and delivery services. This offer is valid until further notice.

The list of restaurants for tak e-outs and delivery from various sources is increasing. Of course, transactions are good only when you can get it, but it is sometimes you need to take aggressive measures. This is because the third party discounts are always involved in many movable parts. Normally, there is time to solve the problem. However, there is no such room in the current situation. Therefore, there is a high possibility that confusion based on communication violations will occur. Let's give an example.

One of the secret restaurants in the China Town Area is the incense craftsman noodles (Chinatown is mainly in the spring mountain area, but the incense is in flamingo). As introduced in Las Vegas Consumption, the characteristic of incense is the "dinner and show". The Las Vega s-only website stated that it was 10 % discount at the time of order, but when I pulled it in a restaurant, the clerk at the entrance was confused. This is troublesome. But we printed and submitted the offer.

I could bring it on my mobile phone, but the printing was more immediately complaining. result!

If you call in order, it is best to bring a discount at that time, and if you do not know, you will bring a trick. He also received a 10 % cashback using an NSB credit card. Without the chips, the resurrection of the rebate and the credit card became about $ 23 in total (the incense beef cream is the best).

Through this crisis, we have been hinting that there is a slight disconnection between Las Vegas and other regions in the world. Former UNLV English instructor and former cocktail waitress Britany Bronson has recently contributed to the New York Times. Read.

Update 4/ 6-The 20th day of Las Vegas closed.

If there is a big policy news, this blog will update the closing sidebar. For example, it was reported that there were 353 reports to the police who continued to operate against the governor's closing order. Of these, 70 % were not taken (it was determined that sales were necessary, and when visited, the store was closed). Aside from being legitimate, it can be seen that many people like rats others. Oh, teamwork.

There have been cases of workers testing positive at large construction projects that have not stopped work. Drew and Barrett are the only ones that have stopped work so far, but it feels like it's only a matter of time before others voluntarily or orderly stop work.

Our suspicions that road construction on the Strip is on the rise were confirmed by an article in the LV Review-Journal. The result is one lane in each direction between Spring Mountain Road and Sahara Avenue. Similar road construction is also taking place on Koval LN. between Tropicana Avenue and Sands Avenue.

I received a letter from an LVA member saying that now might be the best time to take a photo in front of the famous icon on this lane. This is probably true. However, parking and walking etiquette will be required, as almost all of the casino parking entrances are blocked. That didn't stop another LVA member from having a "picnic" in front of the fountain at Caesars Palace.

"It was unlike any movie experience I've ever had. There was no traffic, loud music, or loud people. Instead, the sounds of birds chirping dominated on a beautiful spring afternoon."

He ignored the rules. He didn't get in trouble. So cool.

UPDATE 4/1 - Las Vegas closed for the 15th day.

Thought you only had two weeks left? Think again. Today, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak ordered the state's casinos closed until April 30th. Governor Sisolak's original 30-day order, issued on March 17th, would have allowed casinos to reopen on April 16th, but now that's no longer possible. Some hotels were accepting reservations beyond April 16th. Those reservations will be canceled. Will this be the last extension? Unlikely. It seems the governor is going to go hard in that direction.

Did a drive last night that included the airport and the south end of the Strip. I wouldn't call it a desert, but it's at least tough conditions. The most striking visuals are the frozen escalators on the footbridge and the gap in front of the Bellagio Fountains (also closed), along with a visibly increased police presence: "We're here: Don't be stupid."

The production of the MSG field has been interrupted. As a result, the project is unlikely to be in time for the 2021 deadline. No new goals have been announced. This sphere is the only main project that has stopped working on his own, alongside The Drew.

Municipal authorities have responded to the requests of restaurants and are currently accepting alcohol sales in collection and delivery orders. A restaurant with a liquor sales license and a restaurant that gets a temporary permission to do so can sell beer, wine, and liquor sealed bottles for customers who order food. This is not a big problem because alcohol can be easily obtained at many food stores that are open.

Update 3/3 0-Las Vegas closed 13th day

The online version of the April issue of Las Vegas Advisor's April issue has been posted, and this article has been uploaded. These are links to two videos that you can learn about the recent Las Vegas.

The first is a two and a half minutes video, and the last minute is Las Vegas in the goal.

The other is 8 and a half minutes from Welcome to Las Vegas, sign up in the downtown lane and part back.

Update 3/24 --Las Vegas holidays 7th day

There is not much report because everything is closed. Governor Nevada has held a press conference (remotely) that does not convey much more information beyond the main message of "not acceptable." Each press conference, he is gradually increasing its restrictions. The schedule of resuming has not changed (30 days obligations, so the current resumption should be around April 16), but no one can now provide that information at this time. As soon as the information is announced, we will inform you in "Vegas News".
