Las Vegas Casinos Scared of Lawsuits

[shoreno]

Las Vegas Casinos should be ready to this kind of problems because they have decided to open even if the virus infections are keep on increasing. In the
first place, their action is a bad move if we will be the one to decide but we didn't know what the casino owners are thinking.

Either the casino owners already know that this kind of problem will likely to occur and they still continue in opening or either they didn't know that this
kind of problem will likely to happen. Small business casinos should shut down their operations if they are afraid about the Lawsuits because it is not that easy
to control all the customers that will come to your casinos and they can just open once the vaccine will be there already.

I guess they know that but they do not want false accusations that their place is where they contacted the virus that's million dollars worth of lawsuits imagine if thousands of people will charge these casinos there will be no casinos that will operate even if the pandemic is gone because of bankruptcy.

Ofcourse.
Such accusation should be expected. That's why it's important to try as much as possible to protect others, not just yourself.
The good casinos could even have camera installed after following all the necessary safety measures. I would even suggest they include best safety measures possible to have good evidences against potential false accusers

camera's and cctv cant detect virus and liers but they are useful for those who want to commit other crimes like stealing . we are still on the pandemic and accusers will accuse related to it  . even if you protect people ln your casino but the accusers are from outside what can they do ? and there are people that you already protected or care of but they will still be against you . we dont want that to happen so if im the owner ill choose to close and try to create online version for a while

The US court system is a joke. The casinos are not forcing anyone to do gambling. Whomever goes there, is going on his/her own free will. At this point, how can they claim that the casinos are responsible for the infection (in case they get infected)? Hard-working businesses are at the receiving end of this and a perfect example is the case of the Portland bakers (who were forced to close down their business). In case of the casinos, they are mostly owned by the billionaires and have quality legal support available. But still, this is not the way to go.

They shouldn't have opened up in the first place , they could have might as well invested in an online site during the time and they could even buy stakes in some online Gambling site and wait , since coronavirus is not going to go anywhere until and unless strict restrictions are going to be followed , which is better for the business in the long term

Maybe they think that online casino is not worth it that's why they don't make one and they continue to reopen their physical casinos.

If I were the owner, I will think that making online casino is another expense and my asset such as physical casino will become useless, maybe their mindset will think of this: "Why would I open an online casino if I can open my traditional casino?" And now they are scared of lawsuits. They need to deal with the precautionary measure and protocols if they want to reopen.

Once they violate a single rules and regulations, and if there is a single person who is reported positive in Covid-19 that came to their casino, definitely they will close immidiately.

That is all true but on the other hand we also go to shops, cinemas or beauty salons by our own free will, no one is forcing us. However, all of them need to ensure all available measures to protect people's health. I agree there is no ground for lawsuit unless people who get infected can prove that they got infected in exactly defined casino that hasn't respected all prescribed measures. And that is not very likely to happen.

Only possible to happened once the casino has been proven not following the government protocols. It's hard to prove though as there
are lots of potential places that the person who's accusing the house might be infected first.

It's an open argument and only the court who can prove what will be the verdict for this case.

It would be a bit long of a process yet there would be lots of factors to consider or shall we say its a debatable thing yet we know on how virus do spread and also there are people who doesnt show any symptoms
no matter how strict they are in implementing health protocols then it cant really be stopped for someone whom infected to go inside the premises of the casino.

It can be hardly stopped and theres should be at least some consideration into this manner rather than directly making up some Lawsuits.Lots of holes on where this virus do came from
and would they really be that serious on tracing it out.?

[michellee]

there are several transmissions for this virus so one way or another, we are really not so safe from this virus even if we strictly follow health protocols.

 https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200402-sitrep-73-covid-19.pdf

symptomatic transmission
pre-symptomatic
asymptomatic

That three things will be hard to find out unless there is a complete check by the hospital. And if we are in the public area, and one of many people have that one of the three things, we might get infected too. We can do by carefully having body contact with other people in the same place, although that is not guaranteed, at least, we can do prevention

Michelle I understand you, but we talk about virus here, there's no ideal protection. Maybe in full quarantine, to not get anywhere,
but casino is the place where many people work, and many others are going in and out, you can't have full protection in that place and
gamblers should be aware of that.

If that so, we don't have to go out of our home because if we can not protect ourselves, we can get an infection. People needed to take care of themselves in the public area by always following the protocols, always carrying hand sanitizer, washing our hands, and wearing a mask. Even the virus is out there, we don't have to be paranoia and too afraid to go out because our mind will always think that. Once your mind thinks about that, that will make you afraid to socialize in the new normal.

They have to protect themselves and their business. Can't blame them and we can say that they shouldn't been open instead of asking the law makers to create a law that will protect them.

Being them as business owners, if you're making big bucks, you'll do everything just to keep your operations continue. And on their end, they want to clean themselves if ever there will be infection that happens on their business premises.

Taking into account that most casinos already have a bunch of cameras already installed on their buildings it will not be that difficult for them to prove in a court of law that a person making a false accusation is lying about certain aspects of their story and damage their credibility that way in order to come on top in the case of that kind of allegation, to me it seems that they just want to be open and have no consequences in the case they do not follow the guidelines and that is not acceptable.

Every business is contributing towards a country's revenue generation so for both end it should be convenient or else the business will be in loss.Well it is important for the casinos to ensure their customers safety but also government should give enough funding to make this happen.

The risk from both sides, government allows business to facilitate but the owners
needs to ensure to follow proper protocols.

Business owners will do everything to make sure  that they will be allowed to continue
even there's pandemic but agree to your statement government's support is very needed
for those business to survive working along with this pandemic virus.

[Janation]

I agree there is no ground for lawsuit unless people who get infected can prove that they got infected in exactly defined casino that hasn't respected all prescribed measures. And that is not very likely to happen.

I am thinking how will they do that.

Trace every place that individuals went through the day or the other? With a lot of things happening right now, isn't that a waste of time? Either way, he/she wouldn't be getting the virus if she is in his/her house and not going to these places where the virus would obviously there lying dormant. They wanted to play in these casinos, obviously, they are risking themselves in getting the virus. This is also their fault.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Ideally stimulus funding (which as per my understanding amounts to $1.2 trillion) should be distributed equally among all the business. But in tough situations, certain sectors such as gambling and casinos may receive a lower share than what they deserve. I am just saying that they should not hope for much support from the government. The owners should take care of their business without much outside support.

This may be challenging times for physical casinos but before this pandemic happened, they were earning huge amount of money so more than likely they still have savings on the side to sustain their business. And I don't think the government will push thru lawsuits on them, but will only give warning. Right now, we can't afford to lose more businesses that are giving life to the economy. As much as possible, you need to be considerate with the situation.

They are taking care of their customers safety. What they don't like is they will be blamed if a transmission happens inside their business premises. That's why they're asking for some shield from the law through their suggestion.

They don't want trouble because they will be pointed out as the source of the transmission because of where it happened. It's no brain that they are contributing to a country or local's place revenue.

Even if pandemic is gone, and even if they(land-based casinos) somehow survived, they will not be operating the way they used to before the pandemic. All public places won't. COVID-19 has shown us that we should always be prepared to prevent a spread of a virus, corona or some other thing, that can emerge in the future. Public places will be designed to maximize social distancing, and hand sanitizers will be present all over the place.

Yes that's correct they have enough money, we all know that casinos earn a lot from its player, they have so many ways to provide for their business and employees and also they are paying high taxes, also they can buy many protective materials so the virus cannot be contaminated in the area nor affects many people in that casino. Also why they afraid of lawsuits if they  have the approval of the govt?

[Ucy]

Ofcourse.

No way that bearing false information to others will beat the truth. It is a rare case that someone will be fooling around with the casino. Usually casino are doing safety measure because they themselves conduct the study when they build the casino. All possible worst situation in the casino are already been had some answers and how to deal it. Like having or installing those safety measures being mention above.

Yet, there are too many abusive casino establishment that are protected and bypass protocols from the authority. Well, there are always time for them and maybe not now.

Ofcourse, it probably rarely happens. But it's possible to pay lots of people to make false accusation against the innocent. So, the casinos have to factor this in and put the right things in place to help them with proofs when such thing happens. If you do what is right and can defend yourself, they will hardly win fairly in court.

I can't say I'm surprised to read this thread given the lack of knowledge being made in the "Las Vegas Casinos are open" thread.  As long as the Casinos can demonstrate they were following State Legislature, or Federal Government legislation concerning social distancing, hand hygiene and face mask wearing, then the Casino's themselves will have a defense that they were following the mandated guidelines.

Yes, basically casinos will not to be blame on this matter,

As long as they implement and follow the health protocols inside the casino, then they don't have anything to worry about. Since there are so many ways to provide an evidence that they always continue to follow guidelines and they do not disobey it.
