Las Vegas Trip Report 5-16-20

Sometimes you have to edit your picture for orientation. Prior to uploading a file. But I don’t mind tilting my head either. Thanks for the insider look.

 

Please take pics! Everything from in the flight, at the airport, even baggage claim is of interest to all of us on effective home arrest.

 

Following along

 

Checked out the first bar that my buddy was hyping and they were closed. He said they were just open last weekend . Just about everything is closed. Grabbed a beer and walking the strip. Might check out this other bar later that my buddy says he was at last night

 

Stopped in Tex Mex Bar and Grill for a bite to eat. Menu looks great.

 

Following along eagerly. Please do not be shy with the pictures

 

Some pictures

 

Thanks for sharing. Do they have the usual music and ads piped in still, like around Casino Royale, or is it quiet? Locked casinos would drive me crazy! [emoji2957]

 

It’s quiet. Some casinos have music piped in. Think it was the cosmopolitan that did. It’s very different. That’s for sure. Was talking to some people who said the earliest and best case scenario is that casinos would open up May 29 but likely in June

 

Is the pool open at the Westin?

 

no and neither are the other amenities. There is a Starbucks that is open in the Westin but that’s about it

they are not charging resort fees from what I understand

 

Brisket burger and margarita

 

Cheers with a homemade marg from a random Texas backyard, OP!

 

I think we all should complain if pools are closed and they are still changing a resort fee. I’m only gold at CET so I pay the resort fee. I don’t mind so much because I get a room comped Sunday-Thursday, and don’t pay too much for weekend nights. But it’s my understanding that the pool and gym are a big part of the resort fee. If both are closed, I’d like to know how they will justify the fee, especially for those that are not players, and paying full price for the room.

 

Are they using disposable menus? I’ve heard restaurants will do that or you can scam a QR code and see the menu on your phone.

 

yeah disposable menu and they had a placemat that they desantized before giving you the food too. Waitress wore mask. They were fairly busy and only had one waitress but she rocked it and the food was good. Felt good to be able to sit down in a restaurant again...

 

That's a good point that I hadn't even thought of - if the fitness center and pool are closed about all the services that most hotels are providing on that front are Internet access and 'boarding pass printing' (which may be a thing of the past soon anyway as no-one want to touch other people's papers anymore) you'd think they'd have to lower resort fees, at least on a moral level.

 

Spot the hooker? Asking for a friend.

 

Does the Governor have anything to say about when and how these services might ‘re-open’?
