  1. Nicely done leggggoooo
  2. I will try to post something if I see it but if you have a players card for MGM or Wynn or Caesars etc then log in to their websites and see what deals they might be offering for when you are going. Also they will email you some deals so sign up for accounts now and the email list if you aren’t getting it now.
  3. Gonna be a little breezy today
  4. Yes. Over the past year with room rates way down, the clientele has not been the usual gamblers and tipping has been terrible apparently. Should likely change as rates are headed back higher. And the restaurant folks are really hoping for the return of the conference/convention business. Unfortunately restaurants are struggling to hire back workers, like everywhere else in the country right now.
  5. Vaccinated MGM employees not required to wear masks
  6. Tough to pick out a few without narrowing food type. Can’t beat Lotus of Siam.
  7. Sign says closed for repairs. Second location in town sign says closed for fire damage. So, a failed effort.
  8. Yep. Gonna be same issue with any retailers who implement this hybrid policy of masks for unvaccinated people. Gonna get old very quickly and then likely it moves to fuck the masks altogether. Open up the nightclubs and crank up the music, it’s go time.
  9. Looks like some changes to the mask policy inside casinos. No longer mandated but now left up to the individual casinos. Should be changing quickly.
  10. I think the distinction is that previously there was little to no smell of smoke when walking outside on the Strip and that has changed drastically and smells bad. Yes inside the casinos typically smelled of cigarette smoke. They are working on passing some legislation to have smoking lounges for the weed, so perhaps the whole situation will improve at some point.
  11. Ellis Island casino. Not too far away, lower limits, friendly dealers, really fun place. It’s a locals favorite. And they make their own beer on site.
  12. LAS VEGAS, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International ("MGM Resorts") (NYSE: MGM) announced today that the Nevada Gaming Control Board has approved a return to 100 percent occupancy and no social distancing on the gaming floors located inside the company's Las Vegas Strip properties. Those properties include: Bellagio Resort & Casino ARIA Resort & Casino MGM Grand Hotel & Casino Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Park MGM The Mirage Hotel & Casino New York-New York Hotel & Casino Luxor Hotel and Casino Excalibur Hotel & Casino "This is yet another major milestone in Las Vegas' incredible recovery and a testament to the importance of vaccination in the effort to fully reopen our community," said MGM Resorts CEO & President Bill Hornbuckle. "We will continue working to vaccinate as many people as possible and remain vigilant with health and safety protocols designed to protect our employees, guests and community. This vital work must continue for us to defeat this virus, and MGM Resorts is committed to doing our part to get it done." The waiver was granted based on MGM Resorts' work to vaccinate its workforce and applies only to gaming floors. Current 80 percent occupancy restrictions and three-feet social distancing policies remain in effect outside of the gaming floors, including at restaurants, pools and other non-gaming areas and activities. Additional health and safety protocols will continue, including applicable mask mandates, based on regulatory requirements and expert guidance. MGM Resorts has made vaccinating its workforce, partners and the surrounding community one of its top priorities and has taken comprehensive steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The company's ongoing vaccination efforts include: ON-SITE VACCINATIONS: MGM Resorts piloted the Las Vegas Strip's first on-site vaccine clinic for employees, using Community Ambulance as its provider at no cost to employees. Located inside the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, MGM Resorts' clinic has vaccinated thousands of employees, their families, third-party partners and entertainers. MGM Resorts has also partnered with Community Ambulance to do pop-up vaccine clinics at every one of its Las Vegas properties to remove even more barriers for employees to receive the vaccine. VACCINE INCENTIVE CAMPAIGN: To further increase vaccination rates among its employees, MGM Resorts launched the internal "Show Your Vaxx" incentive campaign. By uploading their CDC vaccination cards into MGM Resorts' internal portal, employees are entered into drawings for a chance to win a variety of prizes, including show tickets, restaurant vouchers, spa vouchers, hotel stays/experiences and cash. The program is designed to reward employees who have been vaccinated with both monetary prizes and the chance to enjoy the very best that MGM Resorts has to offer, free of charge. VACCINE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN: As employees became eligible for vaccination, MGM Resorts launched an internal education campaign, "Get the Facts About the Vaxx" – a robust employee-focused campaign designed to emphasize the importance of vaccination to the community's health and economic recovery. The campaign featured video content and testimonials from community and company leaders promoting the benefits of vaccination and its role as an essential tool for defeating COVID-19. https://investors.mgmresorts.com/investors/news-releases/press-release-details/2021/MGM-Resorts-Returning-To-Full-Gaming-Floor-Occupancy-At-Las-Vegas-Properties/default.aspx?prop_code=corp
  13. Park MGM plexiglass uninstall underway
  14. Good trip report. The plexiglass should be coming down all over the Strip soon. Not sure on the masks for the casino floor but at least mostly gone for the pool areas (weird posted rules for now). The weed has been a burgeoning issue for awhile. Pretty much sucks. The riff-raff situation may possibly work itself out over time as room rates bump back up. Fingers crossed. The Wynn call actually addressed it and I will paraphrase and use my own interpretation of what they said: their own regular customers were fed up with the dregs of society over running the property, so management just bumped up the prices high enough and that has mostly fixed the glitch. The anticipated fall return of convention business could help in that regard as well.
