Vegas doesn't evolve around sportsbettting, my Gawd

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.

Bankruptcies will be announced very soon

even through shootings, 9/11, foreclosures, there weren't this level of job losses and everything closed

**gopolks** · 03-30-20, 09:34 PM

Vegas will be back to normal next year.

**mjsuax13** · 03-30-20, 09:37 PM

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.

**jjgold** · 03-30-20, 10:02 PM

If they do come back it’s gonna take a very long time people are just going to go back like nothing ever happened

**Enkhbat** · 03-31-20, 05:01 AM

Does the governor's order to close casinos for a month end on April 17th?Is he gonna extend the order by another month?

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

**jjgold** · 03-31-20, 08:02 AM

nothing is re opening in April lol

JULY EARLIEST

**DroopyDog** · 03-31-20, 08:07 AM

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

**nyplayer33** · 03-31-20, 09:40 AM

I agree many will a oid crowds fir a few years

**darrell74** · 03-31-20, 09:51 AM

I don't work on the strip/Fremont, but I received an email from my work that I am out till the middle of May

**jjgold** · 03-31-20, 09:58 AM

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

**JIBBBY** · 03-31-20, 10:03 AM

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 Clark County has to do is legalize prostitution.

Boom....all hotels 95% booked and then some

Tables games + shows + food bring in the $$$

**darrell74** · 03-31-20, 10:32 AM

Of course, JJ, will be the first to celebrate when anything bad happens to this city

I like your thinking, but no.
Legal hookers are not a game changer.

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

NYC won't be though. What a fukkin shithole that place is. All the filthy trash spreading the virus all over mfers. 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”.

Where are the caravans? None going to Cali, Az, Utah, northern Nevada.

Do Vegas a favor and never visit again. One less bald, broke, meth mouth, white trash roaming streets looking for a handout.

What are you doing for income now Gritters? I know you live out in Vegas... Back to slinging rock on the corners at night time in the hood?

Gotta pay those bills buddy...

**pavyracer** · 03-31-20, 06:03 PM

It's good that they closed the casinos. It could have spread easily with people touching chips and cards and then their faces when they lose the bets. Slot machines would also be hard to keep clean.

Actually just netted 300k this afternoon on a small harvest hitting shops in SoCal. Might come to Cali and buy your house and make your mother our maid as she has been ridden way too hard to put on the blade.

If coronavirus doesn’t catch up to you this year I hope some Mexicans cave your skull in.
