Vegas...is back.

Posted by Flavorize (aka Flavorize) Jun 7 '20, 07:07

Hard to see, but notice the dealers and pit bosses are wearing masks though.

Yep, I'm getting daily offers from MGM in Vegas and the Edgewater in Laughlin. Free or cheap rooms, no resort fee, free parking, yada, yada, yada. -- nm - Meg Jun 7, 09:20
It looks like none of the guests are wearing masks. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 7, 08:55
I struggle with differentiating this from just about every rally/march. - Volnelk Jun 7, 07:28 19
- One is balancing a greater risk of COVID against the possibility of social change, the other is balancing the COVID risk against wanting things to be - Roger More Jun 7, 07:59
- I don't see any masks on anyone walking around in the casino but with the protests and marches nearly everyone is wearing a mask. - Krusty Jun 7, 07:32 17
  - Also, open air vs closed spaces. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 07:35 16
    - I guess I don’t mean that they are the same. Just that it seems risk is rarely mentioned when covering marches. - Volnelk Jun 7, 07:59 8
      - I hear it mentioned/discussed, we even talk about it here. -- nm - ty97 Jun 7, 08:03 7
        
        Yeah, I've seen it discussed and mentioned a few times. -- nm - Krusty Jun 7, 08:16
        
        It’s fair to say that news shouldn’t really focus on it because that is clearly not the primary point of what is happening. - Volnelk Jun 7, 08:08 5
        
        Yeah, I understand why folks are saying things like that. - ty97 Jun 7, 08:16
        
        That line was the easiest for opponents to adapt to. It’s quick and dirty false equivalency. -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 08:16 3
        
        This. -- nm - Marlowe Jun 7, 08:20 2
        
        So maybe a fairer argument (from some) would be “If you are fine with these marches, are you fine with football games?” -- (edited) - Volnelk Jun 7, 08:32 1
        
        well said -- nm - mud Jun 7, 08:47
    - Right and that seems to be a big issue for the spread -- nm - Krusty Jun 7, 07:37 6
      - even just a fan indoors spreads the virus pretty evenly over the space if someone is contagious. it's a lot harder outdoors with all the air currents. -- nm - colin Jun 7, 07:49 2
        
        i know it's a risk, but i also think it's important. - colin Jun 7, 07:50 1
        
        It is important. Everyone is assessing their own comfortability with risks. - Epiphany Jun 7, 08:25
      - But the cigarette smoke should choke it off, right? - Ba'rona Beast Jun 7, 07:43 1
        
        They still allow smoking in casinos? Yeesh. -- nm - Krusty Jun 7, 07:49
      - And people aren’t betting on black. I mean... seriously, is it their first time in Vegas? -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 07:43
