Now I do think this will be very unlikely that Government will make an exception regarding this since time and again we have seen that people don't follow the rules themselves , most of them don't even know how to use the masks , what did the casinos expect ? This was bound to happen . That is the whole reason why online casinos and gambling sites are fluorishing during this time . -If the Government does this, most casinos might get away with cleaning and sanitization problems , if they don't some casinos are bound to shut down sooner or later. The Nevada Resort Association has urged Nevada's lawmakers and governor to pass legislation that protects casinos and small businesses from frivolous lawsuits
Other trade bodies and executives warn that small businesses are vulnerable to liabilities and that should be limited quickly to avoid further economic slump
The argument goes that it's nearly impossible to prove where an employee got infected and if a business is directly responsible https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/las-vegas-casinos-ready-up-to-protect-from-coronavirus-lawsuits/ 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

I think operating in Open Space with Barriers (probably stanchions like barriers used in banks), plus others important safety measures seem to be one of the most sensible measures to take to protect customers, workers and the employers. These should make it hard for them to have a successful case against the good/safe betting businesses/casinos. That will become good proofs that the businesses are doing the right thing hence unlikely to spread the disease to people.

They ask to operate then why are they afraid of lawsuits?
There are protocols to be followed, if they will imposed it strictly, I don't think they will be afraid of a lawsuit. What do they think of themselves, operating a business without sense of responsibility?

This is bound to open it's a choice between the economy and the health and it's not only on Las Vegas but every country where infection is very high and people are fighting to keep the money flowing in or lower the infection it's lock down or work it's the choice that it's hard to deal with, Las Vegas wants to save these casinos because it's the city's bread and butter.

And that is the problem in a country like US, they have so much freedom that anyone can be liable for a lawsuit. And I don't think that the government are going to protect them in the first place. And I also doubt that there is really a case when you find yourself as a business being sued by someone as this is hard to proved in a court of law.
This is an invisible enemy that we are facing, and we don't know when we are going to be infected in the first place.

This is going to be very big challenge as entire world such situation is arises and how to handle it is still uncertain. As the cases are still spreading and rising so many people are avoiding moving out. So, this is leading to less demand, people are not able to pay the salary to staff, people are losing jobs. Government need to intervene and provide as much support as possible to all such business.

-If the Government does this, most casinos might get away with cleaning and sanitization problems , if they don't some casinos are bound to shut down sooner or later.
That would not be fair I believe, casinos here are playing safe, with that kind of protection on the casinos, the problem would be worsen. If they will close, then so be it, casinos are not a necessity for us, it's just an entertainment where people can live even without a casino. A just government would not allow this to happen, if there are lawsuits then they should face it, that's part of the risk when they are given another chance to re open the operation. I get that the government gets good taxes on casino operation but they can't give that kind of immunity that could only be abuse by casino owners in the long run.

I knew this kind of issue would happen the moment I saw a thread here regarding casinos opening in Las Vegas during this pandemic. there are a lot of entitled people who thinks they are above the law or simple protocols and would blame you the moment they fucked up even if it is their fault. but the problem is these casinos most like didn't have a strict protocol on social distancing or hygiene that is why there are people able to file a complaint agaisnt them and these casinos are afraid of it.

The countries which has contained better the virus have used strict protocol measures to keep the virus from spreading.This countries beside following the guidelines they also imposed people even in building elevators to wear masks otherwise they would not let people without masks use the elevators.
The casinos who want to be spared from being filed against should offer the maximum hygiene possible in their place and also follow strict rules and protocols.They can use their cameras to fight back against any file petition against them when they are sure they have done everything needed by the government.

@acroman08 the thread you’re referring to was started by me, and this is exactly what I was afraid of would happen, and sadly the gamblers kept on coming and the casinos were only happy to have them back. At this stage I’m not really sure if the casinos actually failed to deploy the necessary safety measures, and further if those gamblers don’t have solid proof against those casinos then this case won’t stand in the court of law.

To be honest, that makes no sense to me. On the same principle people can file lawsuit against shopping malls, beauty salons, restaurants or any other object, people can get infected everywhere. This sounds to me more like a campaign against casino, an opportunity to make harm to them like "unnecessary" business but I don't think this is going to work.

Even if they are a small casino business, if they are following the proper guideline and protocols, they don't have to worry or be afraid of possible lawsuits. Customers and employees can also complain if they are really not showing any proper sanitation, but if they are imposing those protocols, then there would be no problem.
We are aware that a lot of people also don't follow some rules like wearing masks, but these casinos have the authority not to let those people in if they are not following the rules to ensure everyone's safety inside the facility.

It's but natural for the governor to protect the interest of the city this is where they built their city it's the gambling and entertainment capital of the world if they allow it face a lot of lawsuits so many casinos will shutdown and face million dollar lawsuits and this will harm the revenue of the city which heavily relies on these hotels and casinos.

I wonder what the response of the Las Vegas mayor after these sentiments were expressed by casino operators? She's the one who pushed with the opening of the casinos since she believe that the economy is far more important than public health and safety and here we are ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) If those casinos followed minimum health standards and safety guidelines, they shouldn't be afraid of lawsuits, and its within the discretion of the player to risk his/her life by playing within a casino. I mean, it's not as if that's the only place a virus could linger, especially if it's sanitize for the most part of the day.

Expenses of doing an offline casino is getting increasing that is the reason why more gambling sites are arising where the expenses are lot less compared to maintaining an offline casino.But without having proper sanitization then the casino should not be allowed to run as well but government should explore themselves before shutting down the casino.

Most of the people who oppose them to open are the ones who see the spread of the virus will truly be inevitable. One person holds a ship and then passed on to another is just a trail to follow. But the mayor just goes on to open because the businessmen are pressuring her. Now these casinos still have the gall to suggest of sparing them from lawsuits. Its so good to be rich in this world, you can get away with just about anything when you have the money to control politics.

Having a lawsuit is different than actually win it. Anyone can blame anyone for anything. If anyone placed a lawsuit against me even without a reason, I'd be called for a response by the court. And it's not compulsory for me to answer but a simple written response would be enough for me to win the lawsuit if the claims are baseless. Similarly, I don't think anyone would be able to stop people from filing a lawsuit but they'd be difficult to prove if the casinos claimed they actually were doing as required.

The countries which has contained better the virus have used strict protocol measures to keep the virus from spreading.This countries beside following the guidelines they also imposed people even in building elevators to wear masks otherwise they would not let people without masks use the elevators.
FACT CHECK - There are countries that imposed a very strict lockdown during the early stage of the pandemic, around March they already implemented a total lockdown, citizens are just on their home, market is the one that is doing the door to door for the people and it resulted to slow down and better containing of the virus. What did the Las Vegas did is that they opened the casinos because that is the heart of their economy, maybe their mayor have already experiencing a dilemma between the store owners, and so she did open it. But if there are heavily followed protocols there wouldn't be much of an infection, besides it is not only the casino who needs to follow, the people should too. The casinos who want to be spared from being filed against should offer the maximum hygiene possible in their place and also follow strict rules and protocols.They can use their cameras to fight back against any file petition against them when they are sure they have done everything needed by the government.
If that's the case it is better to close them again, if there happens to be a single infection in any casino, they should be closed as soon as possible and the staff should be quaratined.

They still didn't realize they have helped the number of deaths to increase because of opening the casinos in their area. But instead of taking responsibility and do the right thing, they plead to exclude them from lawsuits. How convenient is this for them?
Its time for them to face the consequences of their action but even this they are trying to get away while during the pandemic they are trying to keep earning while the rest are mourning. Good job mayor.
