      Even so, sportsbetting will be fine here, but one or two outs have a small chance of going broke if the casinos are still blacked out come July 1, some will begin to really worry if they can survive.

      I'm not talking about only sports betting. I'm talking about all forms of gambling. If I can place the same bets on blackjack, poker, slots, etc etc from my home, instead of travelling to Vegas, then why would I travel to Vegas to do that?

      If you are arguing that Vegas can survive and have gambling not be the pull, but rather shows/vacation destination be the appeal, etc etc...then I'll just disagree. I don't think travelling to a desert is that big of a pull anymore.

          we get it

          you are paid based on offshore sportsbooks

          you bash vegas 1000x for every 1 good thing you say about it

          you are an embarassment as a gambler, and as a human being

                      Will be a bloodbath in the short term... Penn already dumped Trop in a leaseback deal. Could have been in the works but there will be some short term pain. They will adjust and reduce costs coming back.

                            wynn emailed me yesterday saying they were taking reservations for april 17th and beyond

                            so they at least think there's hope that they reopen on april 17th

                                The way they have been gouging people for years with that ridiculous resort fee, they will get no sympathy from me.

                                  They might have to increase them to make up for the losses.

                                    Agree

                                    With FED guidelines extended through APRIL, can't see it happening.

                                    MAY 15th would be my -110/-110 yes/no line at this time RIGHT NOW

                                          There could be tremendous devastation in Vegas if they open too early the best thing to do is wait until July

                                            People love to gamble, Vegas will be fine.

                                            It's just like drinking alcohol, if alcohol went away for 2 or 3 months just as soon as it came back people would start drinking again and the bars would re-open. Somethings just won't go away.

                                              I'd be okay with that.

                                              Personally, I think it's a great time to remodel and upgrade everything.

                                              I passed by some non-strip casinos, and they were barricaded. Looks like they're not doing anything, though.

                                                        All or most of the hotel employees and the trades ( carpenters, plumbers,electricians) are Union..... all getting payed right now...and love the fact they get some time off....
                                                        Vegas will keep on rolling in a few short weeks....

                                                          I think they are. Section off DT area as a red light district and do it classy....that and legal street weed for personal use. Strip will always have the food and shows, DT has the weird factor!

                                                          Could also give comped tours of damn, etc to first 10k visitors in April or stuff like that.

                                                          Vegas will be fine

Bodies gonna pile up in the piss smelling streets. Nevada will be fine very low amount of cases and deaths compared to other states. NY is done. RIP Jets, Mets, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Isles. Anybody under the age of 40 never even knew ya anyway.

                                                              Sounds like you haven’t been to NYC in decades, guy.

                                                              The reason it’s the epicenter for COVID-19 is because 8.6 million people live in a small area, not because it’s a “shithole”.
