Fully vaccinated individuals now spared of masks in the casinos in Vegas

[Pamadar]

But wearing a mask is not mandatory anymore right? I'm consistently watching the NBA playoffs and I can see some people in the arena not wearing a mask while the others are wearing, actually, the majority of the people are not wearing mask anymore, so that means they believe the vaccine would protect them and the regulators are just allowing them also.

Those who completed vaccines are allow now not to wear mask or it's no longer mandatory to wear one,

Those who are concern about their healths are the one who keeps using it to prevent or avoid transmitting the virus, your action will held responsible to any possibilities of this virus to spread more, though it's good to have that vaccines but not an assurance.

Fully vaccinated individuals can now play normally without any masks in the gambling casinos and at the same time it goes for both indoor and outdoor locations in Nevada. The decision was made on May 3.

The Board’s agents will not attempt to confirm vaccination status of patrons. Consequently, unless circumstances change, it is not practical for the Board to attempt to enforce a mask mandate tethered to an individual’s vaccination status.

As a whole the decision was made on May 13. Some licenses might be more restrictive as compared to the others.

I do feel like there is another reason for you guys to be vaccinated! You can actually experience normal casinos like before pandemic if you do wear the mask and follow the protocols.

Just to let you know people that not because you got vaccinated doesn't mean you are immune to the virus, the vaccine just lowers the chance of getting the virus since the body already build up a protection against it so if more people still go outside there's still a chance to get the virus. If I remember correctly Damian Lillard was already vaccinated but have been tested positive just recently.

As much as possible lets stay away at crowded places and let follow the protocol. Me too, I can't wait to play on casino but still scared even though I'm vaccinated.

Indeed. The vaccine can protect us but we still need to be careful because the pandemic still out there.
As long as the virus still out there, it is better we minimize our time in the public area or we do not have to go to the casino without wear a mask.
We still use that mask even if we already vaccinated unless the virus does not appear in your city and country, you are free not to wear a mask.
I am sure we all miss the time not using the mask but we can not do anything except following the health protocol if we do not want to get infected by the virus.

Out of all these chaos, I have one question. If someone is vaccinated, does that mean he will no longer be getting COVID or it is only a temporary fix and you need to be vaccinated every few years? I have heard news reports about vaccinated people getting covid again after being vaccinated. Also, if you got COVID and you get well, does that mean you are already a carrier of the virus or the virus is gone and you are not sick? I don't think the WHO or the health authorities have disseminated the information very well.

[Betwrong]

If i were a gambler and located in Vegas then i would not still risk out on going out and would wait for a while and observer if they are really not getting infected on following those normal days.

I totally agree with this. This whole thing is new, and no one knows the consequences for sure. I don't want to sound like an anti-vaxxer. I'm not. I know that vaccines are effective, and I know that even if you are reinfected with a different strain of the virus, you'll recover much easier and faster than if not vaccinated. But if it's possible to avoid crowded places, it is better to do so for a while, for your own sake and for the sake of the people around you.

I have the same opinion. There's another variant which is more dangerous and they call it, Delta and the other one is Delta +. It has mutated and I won't put my health and safety at risk even if the government says that it's now fine to go everywhere and you can remove your masks.
As someone who needs to take care of himself because of the family, that's what I'm going to do. I might go everywhere I want but I won't be confident even if I'm fully vaccinated since most of the vaccine are still in observation.

So even though we have received the vaccine, we still have to make new habits to continue to use masks, until everything is confirmed to be safe, then that's when we can remove the masks in the crowd.
Some countries are currently experiencing a significant increase in the spread of the virus and that is due to the presence of a new dangerous virus variant and thus, still wearing masks is a solution if we want to travel just to make sure we have good protection.

Overall I think most people in this thread would agree that allowing people without masks to enter casinos in Vegas is a bit premature. Even if they are right in general and most people are safe(if vaccinated) there are still risks, and taking those risks is not worth it. Want to gamble? Gamble online until things calm down.

There's no 100% protection against the virus. However, vaccines act as a boost to the immune system so it's really a must to have one.

A vaccinated person can still be infected but this time, it should be mild.

There are lots of people who already got infected with the virus even with a complete dose but it just becomes an ordinary flu or disease to them. Just recently, for example, NBA superstar Chris Paul got infected with the virus even he already completed a full dose of the vaccine and take note, his vaccine is one of the top vaccine brands in the world. He undergoes the usual quarantine period and after that, he's now playing again in NBA, without a trace that he got infected.

[STT]

Vaccines take multiple weeks to take full effect is true of all the types I think, none are giving 100% immunity.

and you need to be vaccinated every few years?

Everyone can remember for a while now we've been having these variants of the flu, some of them being carried by birds for example which seemed to be an especially worrying attack vector that would be hard to stop and so on.   Its fairly predictable that within a few years either within the human population or some animal there will be yet another type of flu that can defeat this vaccine again.   Im not sure this particular strange combination will occur again so easily, the twin extremes of spreading with zero effect on some and others lethally.  
  Even right now I do hear of new types, however none of them are sufficiently different that the vaccine wont be  a counter to them so for probably this year it'll be fine.   Excluding the high risk categories we will see a decline occur in these next 12 months and even in poor countries matters should improve.   Its never going to be 100%  some people need a normal flu jab every year because a plain type can be bad enough.
  Asia has been careful with masks for years and now we know it was warranted for sure so a good attitude towards not spreading infection in enclosed spaces and wearing a mask in a crowd when feeling ill is something I'd hope we are not trying to forget as a positive in reducing risks to others whatever the laws.

We should still be more careful even if we are fully vaccinated since those are the early trials of the vaccines and there's still no guarantee that you'll immune from the COVID-19 on any vaccines that we have today so better to be safe as always. Not wearing facemask might be a good freedom to many but we should appreciate it because it saves our lives and if I'm going to casinos, I'd still choose to wear mask just for my own safety.

This is true and specially now that there are new strains or variants of said virus which means those vaccines wont really be 100% effective or can really protect person for it not to get infected.

I wont really be that much off be that confident on getting into crowd even if you do take those shots because you wouldnt know if you would get infected or not.

Is there any reports nor news about the development of this one? If there are people who hadnt get infected with this kind of getting to normal
system?

[agustina2]

This is true and specially now that there are new strains or variants of said virus which means those vaccines wont really be 100% effective or can really protect person for it not to get infected.

There is no mention by WHO that vaccines will give 100% protection. The vaccine's role is to add some additional line of defense so that in case we got infected, our body will able to handle it unlike before.

There's already a lot of case where a vaccinated person got the virus but it's like being a normal flu.

If there are people who hadnt get infected with this kind of getting to normal
system?

I think the progress is good so far.

Come to think of it, for example, the NBA crowd is now back again and we can see the majority of the audience doesn't have any mask. Vegas casinos might have the same scenario.

I have a question here. What if the individual falsely claims that he is fully vaccinated? Here in India, we had a few cases where air travelers submitted fake RT-PCR test results to claim that they are COVID negative (although their tests had returned positive results). So is it that difficult to create fake documents to show that the individual is vaccinated? I know that the system in the United States is much better than what we have in India. But still, loopholes will always be there, which will be exploited by criminal minded people.

I think that they have some sort of vaccine passport that is probably authenticated and really hard to fake not to mention that there's probably a big fine or infractions to someone who fakes a government document, I think that it's even probably a federal offense or something so I don't think that people are probably going to take the risk of faking it just to gamble.

Very possible, there are people who are ready taking  that kind of risk,

Knowing that even the government have rules about this kind of case. They are still willing to break it if chance permits them, placing more people in danger as this virus can easily spread. No doubts that US have better ways but criminal minds or people who are desperate can still go ahead and do this willingly.

Gamblers has this mentality of being desperate in everything from money to happiness so that is why they can still gamble even though they can be infected by this killer virus.

Hope that people may realized how dangerous this can be .

Vaccine passports can't be faked. And I don't think that someone will try to fake it, just to gain access to a casino without mask requirement. If caught, he faces a jail term. However, I am not sure whether the individuals will be asked to produce their vaccine passports at the casino. In many cases, it maybe just the SMS message or an online document certifying the inoculation. On such instances, these messages and documents can be faked. But the larger question here is whether the vaccinated people should be allowed not to wear masks or not. And IMO, everyone should wear masks, irrespective of their vaccination status.

In most cases transferring the virus happened in close door meetings, those who already completed their vaccines have a better chance not to get any virus while those don't have are very prone being infected.

And not because you have the vaccines means that you can disregards the protocols. It's  still better to follow and continue being well aware of the situation.

The risk still there as it isn't 100% that with vaccines you are already safe with covid19, we should always put our guards up.

I think that we should consider that even open door will be able to transfer and I think that whether it is an open door or a close door is just one of the factors for the spread of infection because I think the biggest reason would probably be the contact itself, I have been to close door and open door and as long as the contact is minimal and the individual is disinfected, I think that we will be able to mitigate the chance of infection.

People can easily get fake documents to go somewhere they want.
As long as they can pay for creating fake documents about their health, they can go anywhere without worry about checking the health officers.
Maybe that is because the awareness from those people will not too high compare to the people who really care about their health so those people use the wrong way to achieve what they want.
I doubt if they will follow the health protocols that their government has given because they really do not care about what happened around them.

Everyone is going to agree on that. Despite vaccines have been rolling out and even if we're the ones taking the shot and it's already two doses, we're not comfortable until the whole world is free from the virus. Online gambling is the choice but there will be gamblers for sure that will take this time to go to Vegas and happily going to gamble without any need to wear a mask. And that's going to be the talk of the town there by most of the gamblers who have finally meet each other.

That is also what believe because in My place there is a need to make a photo on the place with the person who injected you together with the government representative before you can have your vaccine passport.
this means there is a lot of proofs need so the chance of being faked is really small .

^ No one can get through or enter a casino that already requires players to be vaccinated if the casinos cooperate with the government to do the right job of the guards before their customer can enter, such as verifying whether it has been vaccinated.  There is a sign if their passport is fake, so it can also be determined if the person assigned to that task is honest and does not dazzle with the money to be paid to get through.
