Because you can't leave them with the grandparents.

Local radio show, a truly reliable source of information.

Do you generally look to local talk radio to provide you with medical advice ?

You might want to try "FloridaMan".

Grandparents refused to take them? Smart.

Nolan Dalla's thoughts on the state of casino gambling.

https://www.pointspreads.ca/is-this-...sino-gambling/

The article mentioned no drink service on the gaming floor. Possibly true where he visited but at Aria, Bellagio and CP the cocktail waitresses are still servicing the poker rooms.

Same at Flamingo poker room and on the main floor so I assume all Caesars properties have it. Stations casinos and other local casinos also have beverage service.

Remember when Nollan used to be interesting?

No

Were his thoughts on motorboating interesting?

Maybe some places are trying not to label things as 'rona, if they can.

From a chap in Texas that works with the hospitals

Texas has 6k 'pneumonia related' deaths in the last 6 months, while the numbers for the last decade are 2k.

The governor asked hospitals to stop reporting over flowing hospitals and that the childrens' hospitals were being forced as overflow for covid and cancelling all non life threatening procedures at them

the governor and lt governor are famous for saying "the economy is worth dying for" and "mask are mandatory now.. but cops can't really fine you for not wearing one"

As verifiable as Bill's source, but interesting.

(I know it's not Vegas)

Maybe not anymore, but he does still say stupid **** like this:

Joey Ingram posted on instagram that the Wynn poker room is closed.

Wave1B confirmed I guess.

The Wynn poker room has been closed since Wynn/Encore reopened.

I don't recall the Wynn Poker room ever re-opening after the initial shut down. Did I miss something?

This is the same crap as "died with Covid, not *of* Covid."

I'm too lazy to post pictures. Just click through the cdc excess deaths tableau: Weekly Number of Deaths by Cause Subgroup for Texas. Data lags a couple weeks and includes some estimates, but it's nowhere near 4k excess pneumonia deaths in Texas unless they all just happened in the last 2 weeks. Data typically updated on Wednesdays.

Interesting data, Alzheimers and Diabetes spikes, but causes are always going to be arguable with diseases people don't usually wake up healthy one day and then die of one thing within a few days. Bottom line number of excess deaths is a reasonable proxy to see something is going on, but it's not secret deaths or falsified causes.

Edit: I couldn't find "permanent lung damage" data for everyone that didn't die, but I'm sure it's a lot

I worked with Nolan on a 2003 project that was certainly "interesting".

Times change, we now see GGPoker cobranding with the WSOP.

In 2003, Binion's gaming license was under threat, because local television stations ran television spots in Las Vegas that co-branded WSOP with Truepoker.

"Meanwhile, Nevada gaming regulators are looking into television commercials and a Web site operated by an Internet casino that refer to Binion's Horseshoe and the World Series of Poker.

The www.truepoker.com ads feature the 2004 World Series of Poker logo, promoting a contest offering a chance to win a seat in a "super satellite" tournament at Binion's at the World Series.

Super satellite winners earn seats in the $10,000 buy-in World Series championship event, which paid the 2003 winner $2.5 million.

"True Poker is giving away seats to the 2004 WSOP in Las Vegas and all new players are eligible to win," the Web site says. "It couldn't be easier to get your chance to play for the $3 million payday in Las Vegas."

Nevada regulators consider Web sites that take bets from Nevada and other U.S. residents to be breaking federal and state laws. The regulators forbid Nevada casino operators from doing business with the Internet casino sites.

Nevada Gaming Control Board Chairman Dennis Neilander said the control board would investigate the logo's placement on the site.

"We'll take a look at it," Neilander said Monday. "This could be a situation where, unbeknownst to them, their logo and trademark are being used."

In that case, the control board would advise the property about the unauthorized use, and would expect Binion's to do its best to have the logo removed from the Web site, Neilander said. "

I’m a fan and am still a fan of Nolan Dalla but this a terribly reported article. From what I’ve read in various trip reports drink service is still available on casino floors.

I was down on fremont and the strip last week multiple times and every casino i went to they all had cocktail waitresses bringing drinks out on the floor and also at the poker rooms i went to.

Really the only difference from how it normally is was the people had to wear masks inside and them taking temperature checks at the door.

Perhaps my memory isn't good for 17 years???

In all honesty I've spoke with Nolan in the past and enjoyed some of his work but, let's be fair, that article referenced here was pretty horribly written.

I was just speaking from personal experience a long time ago, back after Chris Moneymaker had won that year's WSOP and Mike Matusow had hair on his head.

.... did not finish reading the article.

I think it was about 5 years ago, Dalla was doing video updates on his blog. He had a bad weekend in CFB and had a 10 minute-ish video of him ranting & raving about the bad bounces and kicks that cost him money.

It was so unbecoming and horribly undignified that it turned me off to anything he has done since. How can a grown man act like that and still call himself a gaming professional???

I've done more than my fair share of consulting around town and have met and become friends with many executives in Vegas. I have seen what true gaming professionals are like and Nolan just doesn't meet that standard for me.

I'm guessing you didn't enjoy his youtube after the Pats beat the Falcons in the Superbowl?

NoMaskNevada.com ? Bunch of protestors, you watch the video and get an idea of what local politics is like in this State ....

"In 110 degree heat, I really don't understand how someone can wear a mask and breathe properly".

Forgot this gem from another one of the protestors:

“We think people should be able to make their own choice,” she said. “Other people are bullying them into it, and it’s peer pressure. Not a lot of people have died.”

You try wearing it for 9 hrs while working in a 114 degree warehouse.
