Had a really great trip just to get away with the wife. Actually won a little which is rare. They don't build those big casinos because everyone always wins. Funny thing is I didn't bet one penny on baseball. Here at home there is nothing else to do but there is so much to do In Las Vegas that I don't want to spend 3 hours watching a game. And yes, I want to watch a game I bet on.

Holy shit Las Vegas was busy! I was expecting a quiet time but there were as many people or more as this time before the virus. So don't be surprised if you go. And you have to wear a mask in all casinos and they are strict about it. Unless you are eating or drinking "actively" which means don't have the damn mask off too long or they will come and tell you to put it back on if you are sitting at machines. Takes some getting used to wearing a mask 12 hours a day. But I have to say people were 99% compliant in the casinos and even about 70% wore their mask on the street where you don't have to. Tons of machines dark and chairs were few. The wife and I like to sit side by side and play those penny machines but you had to sit together on one machine if you could find another chair to pull up. They did have servers so you could order drinks like normal. And bars have plexiglass between the seats. Can't talk to each other. Once you get in most sit down restaurants the masks can come off for your whole dinner. That's a nice break. Craps and tables had the plexiglass as well so you were like in your own craps or blackjack world. If you are social you will hate it. I didn't mind it. Long, long, LONG lines to get snacks, pastry, or to buy anything. The airport was a zoo. Probably let up a lot on all this by end of June I'm guessing. Maybe a little sooner but they are really strict. I was talking to a security guard and I asked him why so strict? He said they had been told to be super strict because can you imagine the lawsuit if a customer sued because they caught covid at Bellagio? He said the security cameras were watching for masks as much as cheaters.

So if you are planning a trip and can live with all this great. If not, then wait til June or later to go out there.

I was just there for Final Four Weekend, and agree completely with your take. The gambling really wasn't much fun with all the plexiglass partitioning and masks etc., just completely ruined the socialization aspect. I enjoyed playing golf and the weather was outstanding. Played Paiute Snow Mountain which was just in terrific shape and a really nice golf course. Also played Rio Secco which was a canyon type golf course, good layout and very fast greens. The one casino I went to that didn't have plexiglass around the black jack table was Virgin (former Hard Rock) and I actually enjoyed that the most as we just got a table with our friends and were able to play and socialize more. Virgin by the way, was completely dead and I have no idea what the hell they are doing to promote any kind of theme etc. going forward. My prediction is that they will fail miserably based on what I saw. I really used to like Hard Rock, but what they have done here now doesn't bode well for the future imo. Also went to Top Golf and that was pretty cool, but they were also real sticklers on the masks even when you have your own booth. Hopefully things get better soon out there, but it was pretty busy and the airport was jammed coming home on Tuesday. Had a great dinner at Smith/Wollensky excellent rib eye and some good wine.
 
Thanks Gandolf. GL

good stuff Tim. We went to virgin also and I know what you are saying about theme. We also went downtown to circa. Incredible sports book. Good to hear from you. We have to go back out there again together. Play more horses next time. GL
 
At this point it feels strange to me not wearing a mask, lol. Glad to hear you had a good time and won some money! Anytime you can leave Vegas with more than ya went with it a huge win!
 
I was wanting to play roulette the other day when i went to make my bets but they only allowing 3 ppl to play at a time, seems so dumb considering the 3 ppl were all leaning over each other like you often see when ppl are making roulette bets! So clearly it for optics, period. it made no sense far as preventing Rona! Of course I watched 3 of the next 4 spins land on my group of numbers (actually all 3 landed on 9!) while I stood there like moron not being allowed to play! I was even like “just give me $5 chips and I’ll tell you the numbers I want!”, she said I had to get on a stinking list tho, thst wasn’t gonna happen after watching it land on my section over and over! Kinda bummed me out since I was looking to get in and get out. Woulda grabbed a quick 4 bills or so had I been allowed to play!
 
Sorry to hear that Bank. I walked up on a craps table that didn’t have the partitions. Guy moved over to let me in and the table boss yelled at him because only 3 players were allowed on each side. Neither one of us knew that. Not a problem but there is no consistency in all the casinos. GL

All these Rona rules are beyond stupid, I’m fine with mask and other measures they think will help but when you see 3 ppl all leaning over each other to make bets on the roulette table it really tough to understand what a difference not having a 4th or 5th player on them would make?? Like you said the rules are all over the place and nobody knows them anyways. Strictly a dog and pony show!! Just a total kick in the nuts watching that bitch hit my section of the wheel over and over with none the 3 ppl on that part of the board! Lol. There was no way I was gonna get on a list and wait for god knows how long then of course my numbers no longer coming up!! Lol. So I went and played slots for a few minutes cause couldn’t get on a blackjack table either!! Put 100 in lost bout 35 then hit something that pushed me up to 120, played back down to 90 and cashed out. That was enough slots for me! Lol
 
Wow. Fish continue not being able to get runners home with less than 2 outs!! Lol. Did it all cards series and looks the same tinght!
