Does anyone know of a stairwell that goes into the garage from the poker room or nearby? Probably only an issue during big field mtt's like the $600 today, but I went to get a snack from my car on break and cramming ~50 people on the elevators super wasn't happening.

Seriously. There has to be.

Opening weekend was like that and I asked security where is the stairwell? I was told no stairs. What kind of place doesn't allow people to take the stairs?

I imagine they don't want to police/clean the stairs. Drunks urinating/vomiting, people hooking up, graffiti, etc.

Coronavirus Spreads in U.S., as Rhode Island Confirms State’s First Case

https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronav...se-11583080456

The Rhode Island patient, the 25th confirmed local case in the U.S., is a person in their 40s who had traveled to Italy in mid-February, the state health department said in a press release. Officials said they are working closely with the hospital where this person is being treated.

The family of the Rhode Island patient has been in self-quarantine since the person’s symptoms and travel history made the person a candidate for monitoring for Covid-19, the state agency said. The person hadn’t returned to work and extensive efforts are underway to reach anyone who the person did have contact with since returning to the U.S., it said. Any of those contacts will be monitored and directed to self-quarantine for 14 days as well.

Haha ya I did this as well to get out at the end of day one and ended up circling around and walking down the car entrance ramp. Still preferable to human sardines in the elevator though.

It was a school field trip. All students and faculty are self quarantined until the 9th and the school is getting a deep sanitation.

Surprised this is a first being brought up.
The place will continuously be understaffed for many years to come.

It will be interesting to see staffing levels when leases end in the next few months.

I know of people already trying to get their jobs back in Maryland area, and others who are in talks of going to Philly Live! When it opens.

The table games dealers I know there sadly all they talk about is how expensive rents are, and how cheap people can be in the area. Including football players who don’t even tip waitresses. Pretty sad.

If there was a dealer shortage on Monday then where did the dealers come from on Saturday when the room was at full spread for 10 hours between cash and the final flight of the $500k guarantee event? There are plenty of things to despise about a business run by Wall Street but it doesn't help anyone to make things up about dealer shortages when this is obviously not the reason why there were long waits on a Monday.

Some pretty good values. Rare and Capital Grille are definitely value oriented.

Hi hand day today ($1500 every 30 minutes) seems to be packing in the poker players.
50 tables going at 5 PM.

I guess I'm the only one staying away because of Corona fears.
