Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era.

[milewilda]

With fewer people in the casino due to the limit of people who can enter a casino, if security will be strict is not that difficult to implement social distancing. However, what you said is correct there are hosts that are asymptomatic so securing the safety of people who will enter the casino is not secured with all the precautionary steps they will take.

I guess the government and casino operators have no choice since the gambling industry brings a lot of income to the government and the number of employment they can provide. So, I guess it's a risk they have to take to keep the government and businesses running.

The people who don't have asymptomatic will be dangerous for other people, and they can infect other people without that person know. It happens in many countries before this, and that increase the number of people who get infected. I think one protocol will be necessary for every people who want to enter the casino to have a letter of health from Covid-19. That letter can get from the hospital as they are part of the government in this pandemic.

With having that letter, I think people will think twice before they visit that casino because, without that letter, they will not allowing to entering the casino.

Asymptomatic people wont really be distinguished that they are infected with the virus because they wouldnt really show any signs which means it would really be needed that test kit or swab test for more confirmation that
a person is covid-free.Im thinking into this kind of set-up which is very strict but this one will still need some approval and lots of people would really be hesitant to go into places which do really require that kind of certificate or any write ups that do confirm that you arent infected.This wont only be implemented on casinos but also on other places that do generate crowd.Its really hard to surpress this pandemic due to that kind of no-symptom
infected person, we wouldnt know if the person next to us do really have it but you can see it externally he doesnt show up any signs.
Casinos now are starting to re-open but as usual, these places do follow on whats being mandated by the government.

Is there anyway to practice social distance while gamblers gamble? This is not a good move because lives have been endangered by this covid-19 and deaths have rised significantly in few weeks. I think our lives should be more precious to us than making money or having fun or be entertain through gambling. This will be a high risk to those gamblers and their families also to the entire community the casino operate.

I think it's right that Las Vegas Casinos should be reopened soon, because we have been living in quarantine for too long. If like that
continue, the economy can be increasingly destroyed. Because Las Vegas Casinos employees need salary to buy food, even to my
knowledge tax from casinos big enough. So if opened can provide tax income for the United States.

Las Vegas casinos are already opened as more casinos are open already.

you can read : Las Vegas Advisor: Most casinos are open, but biggest ones still closed

Eventually they will open all the casinos, they just started opening this month so they maybe doing it slowly or phase by phase.

Some other people saw this as a suicide act but for me, they are just prioritizing their future even though it's quite risky.

Well, that is life everything had a barrier for us to survive and this pandemic has a solution that we can avoid so, perhaps I agree with businesses slowly open like casinos which is pretty sure to contribute to our economy survive during this crisis. I understand what Las Vegas did, they want to back their economy grow. Indeed, the new normal policy will be implemented into this mass gathering event because for sure it will prone to virus becomes spread if no one will have safety precaution.

Casinos particularly in Las Vegas are losing a lot of money if they will not operate again, if it will take a year before they will re-open, where would the people working go, where would they get money to feed their family, of course some would say that they can look for another job but we have to understand that this pandemic has made businesses close and people are getting unemployed, so a casino to be re open would not only help the economy in overall but the unemployment problem as well, so I support the opening with proper protocol in place.

It is still the governments responsibility to reduce the number of infections with this virus in the community. Economic factors continue to be blamed and it is a fact that everyone is afraid of not being able to make end meet if the lockdown is not revoked.

Money, money, and money, this will be the trigger Las Vegas can not stop gambling activities longer than now. The ew normal must be applied if they want to restart this business.

The only way to reduce is when people infected by the virus will recover and if the vaccine is release.
As of the current situation, the only role of the government is to implement the standard protocol against covid while some business industry are allowed to operate, without people's cooperation, this would not succeed, so it's not entirely the government which should be blame here if it fails as government is people and without its people support it can't implement the protocol or measures against covid-19.

Economic factors continue to be blamed and it is a fact that everyone is afraid of not being able to make end meet if the lockdown is not revoked.

When we say of economy that is money as it's the fuel of our economy and government only derived money from taxes so they just rely on private company to operate, and since big companies employs people, they need to re-open the business for these people continue to feed their family.

If anyone wants to know what the experience of a tourist in Las Vegas has been since the casinos were reopened, you should not miss reading this article. It is incredible to me to believe as a nation like the USA with the highest index worldwide of people infected by the virus. Some citizens are not afraid of COVID-19. Visitors are requested to follow the virus prevention measures and that they do not fully comply. The state of Nevada registered on 06/14/2020 (227 new cases).

The USA hasn't flattened the curve of it's first wave of COVID-19 and it dangerously close to folding a second wave over the first wave with the street rallies and clashes that have occurred over the last couple of weeks.  You might want to check out this page: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ for the grim reality of how dangerous the self imposed relaxing of social distancing in that country is becoming over the next four to six weeks.

Yes, I watch on the local news, many people were found as the asymptomatic people who contain the reactive virus. The government move fast to prevent the spreads by isolating those people before the things will be too late. People on the country which the casino will reopen needs to be careful, and they really need to use social distancing, especially if they are gathered in the casino which will be so many people at the same place. I am sure that the government will use strict protocols to prevent the worst thing that can happen.

I was just trying to check the Southern Nevada Covid-19 website that they have setup to check if there are any updates but I still am unable to access the part of the website that gives the numbers, so I don't have a good idea whether covid cases are rising or if it is flattening to the point that there is no need for people to panic. I am still on the side of caution, if they could limit the number of people entering casino's and following strict health protocols, I am confident they will be able to deal with the pandemic and of course tourists who likes to gamble - also with their lives.

[Sadlife]

My expectation is that it will cause a riot due to many gamblers being unable to be accommodated and play casino games.
I mean they could just build an online gambling platform rather than reopening. With millions of people already infected this would only worsen the situation.

There is a huge difference between gambling online and in real casinos. Also I think that most popular Vegas casinos have online version just for that case.

Plus many people visit Las Vegas for vacation, use hotels and etc, and casinos are just the addition to their vacation. I have never been to Vegas, but I think not many just go there, gamble and leave. Most of the Vegas visitors prefer to use all the local infrastructure in addition to gambling.

I don’t think it will generate this kind of event.The secretary for economic affairs in USA said firmly we won’t close even if another wave of covid strikes again.The us economy was hit the hardest by covid but I think now they know that it is better to let things roll and face bitter consequences which will keep the economy running.As for casinos they will not be overrun by people so everything will run smoothly.

[angrybirdy]

It still too soon for them to open casinos. Hopefully, they won't regret their actions like in our country, the number of covid-19 patients are still increasing because of openning of most establishments like malls, etc. Instead of stopping it to spread, most people continue their different activities and they don't think of helping each other in this kind of situation.

Althought there isn't a breakdown for Nevada as such, you might be able to glean some information via the link https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/nevada or try https://nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/ both of which are on the US page.

Most casinos are already really open.  
Of course, the economy is suffering, but casinos are primarily entertainment without which people can do.  
The staff only performs a service function.  Much more important: Keeping people safe with the redistribution of the virus.

It's an entertainment business but it's a big industry, though there is a pandemic but gamblers are still ready to risk going into the casino to play, and while the casino are making millions or billions of dollars, that would be a big contribution to the economy as they are going to pay taxes based on the income they derive from their operation.

Any kind of business as long as it's earning and paying taxes to the government, they all contribute to the economy and the government now needed them so they decided to open the businesses to save the economy of this uncertain situation we are at now.

I’m UK based but I’m glad, we need to start getting back to normal soon. This pandemic has claimed lives but really it’s a tiny, tiny % of the numbers that get infected. We can’t hide away at home forever, economies are collapsing, unemployment numbers are increasing. We need to get back to some kind of normality.

There was no quarantine in my country. I recently looked at the death statistics. The death rate was a couple of percent higher than from the flu.
Of course, lost lives can't be returned. And each of us should take care of ourselves and our families.
However, it is worth remembering that each person is responsible for himself. And if someone wants to fly to Las Vegas and try their luck twice (once in a casino, the other time exposing themselves to the risk of infection), then they have the right to do it.
