In this interview of Anderson Cooper to Las Vegas' mayor Carolyn Goodman, the head of the city insists that the Vegas should re-open the casinos and restaurants for the welfare of its people. Especially those depending on the said establishments in order to get some money to feed their family. While the reasoning for the city's reopening is with good intention, the reasoning isn't sound and clearly done due to the urge of emotion. Anderson even went so far to ask the mayor if she would be willing to stay every night on casinos wherein the workers and the gamblers would be staying just to prove that she is 'with them' in their plight against coronavirus.

If the persistence of the mayor proved to be worthwhile and the city reopens, would you, as a gambler, be willing to get inside one of the many casinos and play there?

[AB de Royse777]

Bad idea of course. I do not think any responsible citizen consider them to go there. Besides, I do not think outsiders will feel the interest to go now and spend time in casinos. Maybe some local dumbasses will find a way for them to entertain in the empty casino.

It's true that businesses are struggling, employees are struggling but going back to a life where there will be gathering of people is dangerous now until we have a vaccine.

Of course not, it is a selfish decision. I understand that the reason why they want to open the casino is that Las Vegas depends on the gambling industry, this is where they get their taxes. However, take note that if they open casinos it will be full packed by people which will put their city at risk. Many people will die due to the virus. Everyone is struggling financially, but this will not solve it, it will only put people's lives at risk.

[nakamura12]

Yes many people will die because of corona virus unless they will re-open their casino but they will also support online gambling so gamblers don't have to go to the casino until the issue about corona virus is no more before they let the physical casino open again. Re-opening the casino is a bad idea at this time so online is the best choice they got as of now.

I was expecting this was the old thread with more than 5 pages about the mayor of las vegas who wants to reopen their city for business. But this is new.  

I'm still going to be seeing her views as her being confused weighing whether she wants to feed her people by reopening the city and risking them to the virus or just locking them down til they die.

Haven't been following the developments of the lockdowns in the US since I'm not living there anymore but with this statement, apparently the Vegas mayor is notorious on releasing statements such as this. The idea of her offering Vegas residents as the "control group" to this entire thing makes me angry, as this is clearly disregarding the safety of the residents and workers in exchange for the retention of Vegas' status as a gambling capital in Nevada. Idk, her views regarding the matter are plainly absurd. I wonder how her advisers and her team thinks and feels about her statements on this certain interview..

Who knows what is possessing (the Mayor of Las Vegas) at this time, so he is determined to open the casino to the public, where many countries are currently closing down casinos and other public places to prevent the increasing number of victims infected with the CV-19 outbreak.

If the decision of the LV mayor is determined to start opening a casino in his area, this factor the community itself must think about joining to play or not, in general the public knows CV-19 can be infected through direct touch etc, if people think that this has a bad effect you should avoid visiting the casino for a while, so really the deadly plague is gone and normal as before.

I think if people who remain determined to go to Kekasino and lead to death from the effects of the plague, I'm sure many will oppose the mayor's decision later, so that it will end up closing again and vice versa if safe does not occuranything, maybe it will continue.
But with the current state of LV mayor's decision, it is a bad decision.

I wont definitely trust my life even shes the mayor and did tend to be with us inside of a casino.It doesnt guarantee anything because virus doesnt care on who you are or where you are.
Once its spread then theres no exception.We know the motive on why she do suggest that thing but at the same time this is a selfish suggestion.Why? It would surely make up the situation
even more worst and this will even more lengthen the duration on said lockdown or quarantine.Its much better to hold into the current position and resume up things
when everything is cleared out.

The union as far as the news says rally against her will to reopen the city.  This is politics, she wouldn't suggest reopening if no one is behind it. Just watching her talk makes it look like she isn't the authority.

The bosses of the casinos are going to be blamed by the angry mob if they starve, it has to appear in the media the mayor decides all these things. Whichever is the final decision, the owners of these casinos and businesses like hotels who really run this show will, of course, pass the blame to the mayor saving them from the angry community including the employees.

They are all lockdown there, they got nowhere else to go. The angry mob can attack the houses of these owners of the businesses if they will.

I do not think that his decision is for the welfare of the people.  We all know that the pandemic is not under control, his decision will only endanger his constituents.  I just can't think of any reason why open casinos and restaurants but the income that she thinks the city will gain, and I believe it is not enough to risk her citizen since money can be earned while life lost is already lost.

If you would ask me if I am willing to get inside those casinos, I would say, I'd rather play it safe and play at home through online gambling.  Excitement and entertainment can wait and health and our family's safety must be our priority.

I guess we already have a thread about this one, not only the casinos though but also the stadiums for baseball and more.

Bad idea of course. I do not think any responsible citizen consider them to go there. Besides, I do not think outsiders will feel the interest to go now and spend time in casinos. Maybe some local dumbasses will find a way for them to entertain in the empty casino.

It's true that businesses are struggling, employees are struggling but going back to a life where there will be gathering of people is dangerous now until we have a vaccine.

It is really a bad idea for normal people however as a mayor She's up for something. I've read she does not have the power to order these businesses to reopen, what they have is only the guidelines prior to businesses that wants to open amidst the crisis. We know Las Vegas is an expensive city you'll find hotels, restaurants, clubs every where and that's the main point of them to reopen, the heart of Las Vegas lies to those businesses. As a mayor, I don't think it's not worth letting them to reopen, and as if people wants to go clubbing?

They will know the effect of this decision maybe few months after.
Though they will have precautions to be exercised because of this opening.
You can't tell who are silent carriers among this crowd.
So this decision is really a risk that whatever outcome will be, they should be responsible of.

Practically speaking, I would not play into any casinos in Las Vegas even if the re-opening of casinos would happen because as a player, I should also be community wise that we are still into a pandemic on which mass gathering must be prohibited and we must just stay indoors to lessen or to stop the spread of the virus. Playing on a casino these days will not be a good idea because of the situation we do have right now. Although I get the point that he is just concern with the welfare of his people, but still it will not be a good thing to do because their lives will be at risk for working on a place where many people will surely go and play. Better do support them temporarily just what like our government is doing here in our country so that even people do not have jobs because of this pandemic, still they can be able to sustain their needs to survive this crisis.

Most likely no, it's not worth going out even if they had less active cases. It would've been fine if it was only restaurants and stores that's needed so their people won't have problems in getting resources every now and then but if it's everything I wouldn't be surprised if cases started to increase the next few weeks.

Both decisions have pros and cons but imo this is probably the worst one because like what was mentioned on the interview it could affect the other states. The other decision would cause their people to starve but there could've been a workaround to that.

In this interview of Anderson Cooper to Las Vegas' mayor Carolyn Goodman, the head of the city insists that the Vegas should re-open the casinos and restaurants for the welfare of its people.

I thought, will he be responsible for what is likely to happen to his citizens or people there? Don't rule out the possibility that the reopening of casinos during the coronavirus pandemic was very risky? What if some of them were affected by the virus? It will be very risky with high transmission rates at those places.
How are his ways to encounter the spreading of the virus?
We know that everybody faces high difficulties in their financial systems during this pandemic. Their citizen may lose their earning and incomes highly so far. And some people may agree with his decision to reopen. But, think of the high risks. They may get the money up again, but they will probably die because of the virus.

If the persistence of the mayor proved to be worthwhile and the city reopens, would you, as a gambler, be willing to get inside one of the many casinos and play there?

If I were there, definitely I will not risk my life to come to the casinos. Better to play gambling on online sites. Now, there are so many online sites that offer worthy gambling. I will think to earn money and still live avoiding the coronavirus.

[Wexnident]

And she dares call herself a mayor? Instead of actively looking for ways to help her citizens have enough resources to last the quarantines, she does this kind of thing? Like really? Hasn't the various countries plagued by the virus not enough of an example to let her see that doing such idiotic things would only lead to the situation getting worse? Let's be honest, the Virus spread isn't guaranteed but there are always a what-if situation in that case and really, you can't make use of human lives to test that what if. And even if it were open tbh, I wouldn't go, nor anyone else for that matter most likely. People aren't idiots at all.

Restaurants can be reopened but it isn't really recommended since strict guidelines would be implemented in the end, but really? Casinos? Even the opening of Restaurants is already questionable and they deal with food. What more with Casinos who deal with money.

[Naida_BR]

Casinos are the industry that gives a lot of profits to the Las Vegas city.
I don't find it unreasonable for the mayor to want to open the casinos again and bring money to the state. He just have to impose the correct measures in order to keep those places safe and not create another outbreak.

[YuginKadoya]

This is a bad idea we can see that they are not taking the virus more seriously and they are willing to sacrifice peoples live just to have the economy running this is a bold move for the mayor of Las Vegas she might intentionally want this after all in resuming the casino establishments and not stating any good reason why she wants to do this give a negative impression from many there must be a hidden agenda behind this and Anderson Copper might know something about this when he questioned her if she would be willing to go to one of the casinos if they were soon opened up.

We already have similar discussion here : Mayor Of Las Vegas wants the whole city open, including casinos and stadiums

[sheenshane]

Good intention but a bad idea for the Mayor is only thinking the necessity of everyone to go back to work for them to earn and be able to support their needs including their families. We all know if we play in a physical casino can make each of us more prone and expose to the virus that may worsen the situation and harder for the government to lessen the numbers of the infected citizen.

However, we find it as a bad idea reopening of casinos in Las Vegas for there are no precautionary measures that have been discussed yet rest assure there will be but may not guarantee the safety of everyone inside the casinos. Yet reopening these casinos doesn't necessarily mean that members and players will be required to be in the house it is still our discretion if we will play in physical casinos or not.

This case the same in our country, POGO casino was allowed to resume back their operation despite that we are still fighting Covid 19.
Because of the proposal that the revenues generated from POGOs will go towards the government’s COVID-19 response efforts they allow it to operate again.

Palace: No favoritism in allowing POGOs to resume operations
