Bellagio & Caesars Poker Rooms Open - Page 7 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

*raises hand*

I can't imagine when I may ever play live again - i have zero interest playing in current conditions. I have watched some of the action at the Orleans and it does not look appealing in the least. and that sucks because I do miss it.

Yeah, haven't played since Feb. A couple of the "legal" rooms near me in Texas are getting a lot of players. I'm hearing that it's 50/50 when it comes to people in masks. Busy, though.

We are discussing a trip in Dec for my niece's 21st bday. I may go just to pop in and say hello to a couple of dealers and floor people that I like. It's weird, though, like you, just not interested in playing under current conditions.

Not sure what else I would do while I'm out there. Maybe explore places off the strip I haven't seen.

May drive and swing by Talking Stick. Maybe that would get my juices flowing.

The whole thing blows.

Caesars is 8 handed. The plastic dividers are very minimal and allows for communications without any issues. Pretty busy during Labour weekend.

Would be interested to see ballpark figures on how much they were getting in rake for the 5-handed games with reduced rake vs 8-handed with normal rake

lets use a little common sense here to play this out.

hypothetically speaking, lets say cure is available as of 9/9/20. Donald J. Trump forces big pharma to skip key phases of testing they normally have vaccines of this importance go throuh. (e.g. phase 3).

Donald J. Trump endorses the vaccine. Naming it as powerful as hydrochroloquine and says it is the bigly solution he and him alone has made possible on this planet. He demands to be called the saviour and a nobel peace prize.

Lets say there's 300 million doses available for the people in America.

Do you take it? Whether you personally take it or not, are you going to go out there commando?

Lol no if that's that circumstances.

Has the governor ever said anything about dividers in poker rooms?

I thought this was between the individual casinos and the gaming commission. As far as I know, casinos are not required to have dividers now if they can convince the gaming commission that have another equivalent plan to assure social distancing and safety.

Besides, two or three of the vaccines have already been in phase 3 testing for weeks.

If not, it's still not a casino decision, it's up to a state agency.

Realistically, if they can vaccinate the majority of the US (328 million people) by next June, that would be an unprecedented success. It is quite likely that it might be until this time next year before everyone who wants a vaccine has one.

If FDA goes against his wishes Trump will probably just fire the head and replace it with someone who does whatever he says (like he did with the DoJ, the EPA, USPS etc etc).

Unfortunately the FDA is in the executive branch of the federal government so the trumpster does have some control over it.

I haven't heard anything about the head of the FDA being an incompetent boob like those others were.

Aria is 6-hand I believe. Not sure about what else is playing short though, a lot of the rooms have switched to 7-8h.

I played this past weekend at Cesar's and the action was really good at 1/3. Both days villians hand no problem limp calling $20 pre with A6o and 46o (I saw players limp calling with this range more times than I can count)

As a reg who was playing 20+ hours a week pre covid, the dividers and mask aren't the best but the poker still is profitable. I actually don't mind it because I don't have to listen to alot of the mindless conversations anymore but that's just me.
