I go only by the nonsense you post. I have no clue about your actual or pretend "life experience" or the basis of your feigned knowledge about the subjects on which you hold forth. (I still doubt you are in Las Vegas currently or anywhere in Nevada even. Just a hunch, after you avoided a direct question.)

As for your claimed 0-11 streak of visiting casinos and determining there was no enforcement in ANY of them, that lacks credulity. Too many other posters have seen mask enforcement, including me.

I can accept that at some point, over a 12 year span, after you retired as a teacher perhaps, you visited or worked for some "casinos in Reno and Las Vegas", but you do not seem to understand much, if anything, about the industry or how it values customers.

Hey, tourists always are welcome in Las Vegas; Poseurs in "Vegas" however are just silly, arrive here by the plane-full every week, and people do laugh out loud at their antics sometimes:

"Thanks for playing, Sir"

Sincerely,
Some Random Internet Clown

He is a total clown, here is what he posted in his 2nd thread that he started asking about rake in Vegas, "I haven't been back to Vegas since everything reopened, but I feel certain that all the rooms that are open now have bumped up their rake." So what is it Madrobin? You haven't been back or you have been several times and visited 11 casinos?

I'm not going to provide personal details or exact information on my whereabouts on an internet forum. You can construe my refusal to do that as PROOF that I'm a liar liar liar liar liar.

Why does the internet remind me of third grade...or the chimp enclosure at the zoo?

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Random Internet Chimp

Could you at least post the casinos you visited that had zero mask enforcement? There are members on this board that may be interested in those places.

Reading comprehension skills are at an all-time low in America.

If you reread my post, you might realize that I said I visited those 11 casinos LAST YEAR. I returned this year after I was fully vaccinated.

In the internet chimp cage, anyone who disagrees with you is "a total clown."

You people are disgusting, and nothing you say has any merit (with a very few exceptions). Look, I realize you voted for Trump and have a distorted perception of reality and badly eroded social skills. Was that cause and effect, or had you always been that way?

And what will you do with that information other than call me a liar and pitch insults?

I'm sure your response would be, "I visited that casino and I saw people wearing masks, so obviously you're a liar liar liar liar liar and your experiences were all imaginary. I doubt you ever visited Vegas. I doubt you're human."

To clarify BTW, I was referring to mask enforcement, as in, did I ever see a security guard stop someone who wasn't wearing a mask and ask them to don one, or did I ever see a casino employee walk up to someone who was playing a slot machine, happily maskless or with a dangling mask, and ask them to put it on? No.

And yes, I didn't visit every single casino in Vegas. The purpose of my visit was to see if the rules were being enforced to the point where I would feel reasonably safe. They weren't. Not at all. So I left. If I had stayed and visited a twelfth casino, I may very well have seen rigorous and vigorous mask enforcement. But I felt that my sample size was large enough to make that unlikely.

If you ever saw that happen, please tell us. And I won't call you a liar if you do. (Inside the casino itself, not at an outside area.) I don't call people liars when they report something I haven't personally experienced. As i said, your experiences were different than mine. Why can't you just accept that?

I won't do anything with that information, but posters have said they won't visit LV because of the mask mandate. If certain properties aren't enforcing them, then that is information that may be useful to others.

You clearly state you have not been back since they reopened, which was June of last year. I can not read your statement any other way. How can one not have been since June of last year, but also been last year post COVID to determine what was going on with mask implementation and also this year to observe the same thing (of course you could have been in the last few weeks since original post)?

I didn't write that you haven't been since they reopened, I didn't infer that either, you stated it.

I made a TR that already documented this. While my trip might have been boring because of limited options, I specifically documented it to show what LV was like during covid.

My conclusion was that Cosmo enforced masks relatively strictly. Caesars was the lowest on my list, but they still enforced it. Honestly, every casino I went to enforced them to some extent. There were other TRs that said the same thing. This is why I reacted to your 0-11 claim the way I did. It seems highly improbable.

Exactly, everyone else is claiming enforcement. Madrobin in a previous post claims to have not been to Vegas since it reopened, but now claims to have been several times post COVID and also again since being vaccinated. He is obviously lying about something.

Also, I know several people that live in Vegas and they have all told me about how it is being enforced and how most people wore masks up until the mandate was lifted.

Probably not the best example, since my understanding is that it's going to be demolished in the near future, but I was at the Rio last night for a social outing at the KISS mini golf. I would say the mask wearing was laxly enforced on the casino floor, including some employees not covering their nose and mouth.

Otherwise we'll be doing this for years, especially in tourist-heavy areas like Vegas where people are bringing in the virus from everywhere and then taking it back with them. Mask mandates without being accompanied by vaccine passports, in the countries that have ample vaccine supply, are a waste of time at this point.

This is essentially what Bill DeBlasio in NYC is arguing and while I don't agree with him on much, I agree with him 100% on this issue and I hope other localities follow suit.
We should tattoo something on the vaccinated so we can distinguish them apart. Then we know who is allowed to be in society.

If that doesn't work, we should arrest and throw the unvaccinated into camps.

I was there last weekend and mask wearing was only laxly enforced in the Venetian and Sahara. A noticeable amount of people walking around no mask, or with their nose sticking out of it.

Nice catch. I had just guessed that was the case, you seem to have nailed it.

We are defining "reopened" differently. I was referring to the complete removal of all restrictions that occurred as of, I believe, June 1 of this year.

Since you did indeed see an apparent contradiction, you might have been able to figure out that I didn't mean last year. But my bad for not making this absolutely clear. I'm a teacher, I should always state things slowly and carefully. Not everyone will understand otherwise.

So let me be clear: in multiple visits between the time when the casinos opened up with restrictions and when they removed all such restrictions, I did not see any direct enforcement of mask rules at all.

I was referring to the removal of all restrictions, which included the reopening of restaurants, showrooms, and yes, poker rooms that had been shut down even though the casinos were partially open.

You may bask in unmitigated, orgasmic joy at having "caught" me using an ambiguous term. Bully and golly gee for you.

I wouldn't be so crass as to call someone else a liar unless I KNEW that what they were saying was untrue AND I knew that they had said it with the intent to deceive.

Look up "lie"and "liar" in the dictionary (it's the big book with all the words). Then you might reconsider how YOU might feel if someone called YOU a liar.

Then again, you might not understand that.

I didn't visit any Strip casinos other than South Point. So I'm sure that the casinos you visited didn't overlap with the ones I visited.

Perhaps you could tell us about that "strict enforcement" you refer to. Did you ever see a casino employee approach a maskless customer and ask him/her to don a mask? Or did you ever see anyone denied entry because they weren't wearing one? That would be the only plausible "enforcement."

Your report is no more or less credible than mine. But maybe it's time to stop beating this dead horse.

Sigh...the FREEDUMB argument again. Complete with the impassioned assertion that if the government mandates vaccines, that'll be just like the Nazis sending everyone to concentration camps.

I for one would be perfectly okay with herding all the unvaccinated into the Trumper states, then building a thousand-foot-high electrified barbed wire fence around the perimeter(s) and waiting until they achieved herd immunity. They could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't set foot outside Trump Land.

Being unvaccinated should be illegal--as should all things that are stupid, irresponsible, and harmful to others. But...FREEDUMB!

Yes. At Cosmo while playing a table game the dealer and pit boss told a player more than once to cover his nose with his mask. Multiple players were told that just because they have a drink it didn't mean they could be maskless and they were to remove their mask, take a drink, and put the mask back on.

I was told that I needed to wear a mask while on a daybed at the pool even though there wasn't anyone within 10+ feet of us. The daybed was in the water, so if I got off the bed and sat in the water, then I'd be in compliance (this is beyond stupid, but whatever).

Caesar's enforced the rules at check-in, but were too lenient at the tables.

All the other casinos around that part of the strip were somewhere in between.

I was surprised at how strict Cosmo was and actually felt very safe there.

EDIT: The one omission to mask enforcement was in restaurants. I was told multiple times that I didn't need to wear a mask, but I felt it was essential to talk to the server with a mask on.

You're correct that my report is no more credible than yours, but considering that other reports around that time sound similar to my experience and you haven't even given when or where you were in LV, then your words mean pretty much nothing.

Well, you were not behaving like an angry toddler (for once) until the end of your last sentence.

I already told you when I was in Vegas. Not exact dates, of course. Are you saying that I was never there, that I'm making it all up? If so, this conversation is over.

Your words mean less than nothing, in that they actually subtract from any discussion, much as your existence subtracts from humanity. Have a nice day

What we should do is all get vaccinated, for the sake of ourselves, our immediate families, friends, contacts, co-workers, the communities in which we live, work, vacation, etc, and for those who down the road might contract a more contagious and virulent variant of the virus that initially sprung out of someone unvaccinated. That's what we should do.

Long time Vegas Vlogger Jacob is saying he is seeing zero enforcement of the Mask Mandate.
