DefNotRsigley posted this a few weeks back, he is usually correct.

"The amount of the town she actually oversees is really small. It's basically just downtown and some of the north. She can't even re-open the strip because the casinos and people who live near here are not part of her mayorship. We are incorporated and governed by the Clark County Commission. She doesn't even control the airport or UNLV."

It has been discussed on this thread that what this mayor says has little effect on anything covid-related anywhere. Yet she continues to be a hot topic for some reason.

A famous poker player trying to take down the Mayor of Las Vegas after her making continued ridiculous statements about opening casinos in Las Vegas amid the Coronavirus outbreak is all pretty on topic and popcorn material more importantly.

NV Gov just spoke, we go to phase 1 at 12:01am Saturday May 9th. Restaurants at 50% for indoor seating, some businesses opening, etc.

Reporter asked about casinos opening on Memorial day and of course he said he would not make any guesses. But he said that it is up to Nevada Gaming Commission, which to me sounds like a good thing since they just approved the casinos plans for re-opening earlier today.

True dat,

The flop can go in a convenient place for the dealer. And then the cards are read and transmitted to screens near each player. Wow, my tri-focals go away!

But angle shooters and string bettors will be an issue...

I predict full ring games no later than end of July, although sooner is definitely possible.

W there a full ring game (s) running somewhere in the country by then. pretty likely. Those rooms first back in the market will be packed, especially if offering same experience as pre-covid.

Will there be full ring games widely available to even a small percent of total market by late July??? Not in this universe or any other.

bro, Vegas will be absolutely jumping to play 4-handed poker in July. It will start the next poker boom. Rooms will have to charter their own flights to get the droves of 4-handed poker poker players out there cuz all the regular flights to Vegas will be sold out.

I think that WRTed will buy an airline to support all the demand after he pivots from building and instead leases and re-opens the Aria as his poker themed hotel.

Predicted opening July 4, only the year is uncertain, bro.

Caesars properties still has May 22nd up. Of course it depends on gaming control and the Governor.

Excuse me? I’m a government employee. I don’t use drugs at all. I’m offended you would even imply that. You probably vote trump too.

I’m not even trolling. I believe we will see full tables before you know it. 47 states have already started reopening. Is this a good thing? Absolutely not! But when you see the massive corruption in the government coupled with the desire to reopen the economy regardless of the human cost, it’s gonna happen. Two days ago I went to the grocery store. Almost nobody was wearing a mask. Last week, same store, everyone wore a mask. In many states Trump supporters are protesting by holding signs that say, “My choice, my body.” Now we know they don’t really believe that as evidenced by their opposition to abortion. Before extremists storm the capital of Nevada like was done in Michigan, we will have full ring poker.
Let’s not advocate banning people simply because they have a different opinion than you do.
