Vegas Vacancy?

It will probably be a long time before you see me there but I'm curious about what will happen with the "reopening" of Las Vegas. This article by Julie Creswell covers some of the alterations and safety precautions that will greet visitors when some (not all) of the casinos reopen in a few weeks. Since some people are flocking to the beach, maybe they'll flock to Vegas but we have no precedents to go by.

I disagree with one of the "experts" in this piece. "Nobody comes to Vegas to spend time by themselves," said Brian Labus, an assistant professor at the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada. I've sometimes gone there to work in my room and spend lots of time away from all the distractions of life at home. I liked the availability of entertainment and food at any hour when I craved them but I did little socializing unless you count declining offers from hookers.

But I do get that the spirit of "fun" in that town may be muted or reduced by masks and plexiglass shields and no more buffets or shows for a while. We'll see how many people who are eager to gamble with their money are willing to gamble with their health.
