    I checked off "I'm not changing a thing". But not because I have a trip planned. It is because I have already decided to give Vegas a rest BEFORE this current situation started.

    But if I did have a trip planned I probably would cancel. I am in the "old age" and "pre existing health conditions" group. I'm just not the stud I used to be.:)

    Maybe in November if everything stabilizes. I dunno. I just don't feel like Vegas lately.

    Me and my sister were going to keep out plans for Memorial Day weekend, but just got notified by Sun Country that they pushed our flight out by 4 1/2 hours. So we may just reschedule. As long as we are more than 60 days out, you can change your flight with no penalty.

    I’ll see if my sister wants to do a fall trip instead. If the situation changes I can sneak in a solo trip.

    Still on the fence. I figure I may decide on Sunday, which is a week prior to when I am to leave.

    My primary purpose for the dates I had plans to go was to experience the Final Four in Vegas. This was important to me personally since my Jayhawks were in a perfect position to go through the tournament and to play on Sat. 4/4 and advance to the championship on Mon. 4/6. I was ok with watching the games without fans in the stands. But, now, the whole damn thing has fizzled and I really would rather go to Vegas at a different time anyway. Flights will be cancelled, leaving credit for future trips and Caesars will be cancelled with hopefully as good of comps for when this situation is over. I've still got three weeks for some miracle to happen for me to feel like travelling, so I am waiting to cancel everything. Actually, it could be a good time to go if the normal crowds were thinned out and there weren't people pushing up against you and you could keep a good distance. Confusing times with huge consequences!

    My trip was supposed to leave 2 weeks from yesterday for my Bachelor party. We’re postponing. Hopefully will get to go sometime in late May/June/July.

    I just got back Monday and have another trip planned on April 10th. I haven't bought a ticket yet but the rates are so low, $90 round trip, that I'm tempted. I'm 32 and healthy but will most likely cancel my trip to protect my 30-40 patients I see per day. I love Vegas in April and have every CET hotel comped for the whole month of April which never happens.

    We have nothing planned until our normal yearly trip in September, and can't seriously imagine that this won't have calmed down by then. That said, we did have a two night trip to a local casino scheduled for early next week that we cancelled today. Husband fits almost all the criteria for being high risk - 65, diabetic, copd and a history of heart problems. It just wasn't worth the risk for something that would have been a poor substitute for Vegas at best.

    We’re booked for Easter weekend at Cosmo, but don’t see any chance of us going at this point. I haven’t called to cancel my comp, or cancelled our SWA flights, but that’s because it’ll be easy to do so once we hit April and the door completely closes.

    Being in the industry, and preparing to be furloughed indefinitely, I’d love to be able to give them some business since we wish we could keep serving people here. It’s just hard to believe the resorts will even be operating by that point.

    Husband was scheduled for a conference starting the end of May. His work has just suspended all travel indefinitely. The conference hasn’t cancelled so we are keeping our reservations in case things get back on track by then.

    We work for different Universities and both have just cancelled all in person classes for the remainder of the term. We don’t even have a single case of the virus in the area yet so I guess it will be awhile before we peak and get back to normal.

    I was planning a trip but with the buffet closings and the high risk of headliners cancelling their show i changed my mind and its a very good thing i did cause i was told at work today that we are closing till end of month without pay due to local government rules

    Thanks OP for the poll as this is pretty much the only "safe" place to have this kind of discussion as many folks who don't love Vegas like we do wouldn't even entertain still going.

    It's not in my countdown timer but I had a super quick trip booked for the last weekend in March for significant Wynncore free play and a special promo that was too good (in the normal course) to refuse. I am cancelling that trip.

    I just flew back from Buffalo to New York City today after checking on my parents. I just don't see the 5 hour flight to Vegas in two weeks but, even more significant, I have been strongly encouraged to work from home through the end of March so in good conscience, even if I wanted to, I couldn't see flying across the country in that same period for a leisure trip.

    My planned mega April trip now is also unlikely to happen at all. I called my host over this past weekend to say it will be shortened to one week and that my mother will not be coming at all given that she is in her late 80s and immune compromised. Since even last weekend so much has changed and NYC, while still operating, is changing (in a way I support). Even Broadway is ceasing for a bit. At this point I think I will cancel my April trip entirely. I wouldn't be surprised if the Diana Ross concert, which was my "anchor event", is also postponed. I was really looking forward to enjoying the company of friends, including my Vegas running buddy DBueler. Secondarily, I am leaving a spectacular Wynncore "package" on the table plus a once-a-year major buy in tourney but if I am going to use a lot of vacation time I'd rather rebook for a time when everyone can join in the fun and when I don't have to be worried as much about the travel experience. It was also my Seven Stars trip but I can just shift that to later in the year as well.

    I have a weekend trip planned for a late May and a late June/July 4th trip planned. Right now, I'm planning to keep those trips.

    My planned mega April trip I may shift to and make a somewhat shortened but still long (9-10 days) trip in August for my birthday with the same group and hopefully Diana Ross performing, as she did last August.

    EDITED TO ADD: After seeing that the Wynn buffet, clubs and theaters were closing temporarily I checked the Wynn website and sure enough, none of the Robbie Williams shows for late March/early April or the Diana Ross shows for April are listed. Shows scheduled for May or later are still there.

    ADDITIONAL EDIT: Just had a good conversation with my host. The two special events that I was flying in for late March and mid-April have been postponed so I won't miss them. They will likely be rescheduled for some time in the summer. At Wynncore, they are also providing more space between chairs at gaming tables so that customers feel more comfortable with more distance.

    If I wasn't taking care of my elderly mother, I would hop all over the cheap fares and ridiculous offers that have started. I earned 175 tier credits last year and I'm getting comp offers with freeplay from the cheaper Caesars properties.

    Because of my mom's health, I can't really go for more than a couple days and I don't care to risk exposing her to something.

    Still looking forward to a trip for the Circa opening.

    I was supposed to take a trip to Santa Cruz this weekend, but the concert I was going to see got canceled. thinking about calling Southwest and seeing if they have any deep discounts for a last minute trip to LV this coming Sun-Weds since it appears I can get a room comped two of the three nights.

    I didn’t have any concrete plans so I didn’t have to decide whether or not to go forward with a trip. Not young but not in a high risk group either.

    It’s always fun for me to think about going to Vegas, but the potential risks involved with traveling in the current environment makes a Vegas trip a nonstarter for me. I’m from California so there will be future Vegas trips for me, just not now.

    My work just sent everyone on work from home

    I feel a little scared but honestly I just want to get out of here—I’m literally getting ready to be at my house 24.7

    I'm doing Aria tomorrow and Laughlin on Saturday too. There's virus where I live, there's virus in Vegas. If I'm going to go down with the ship, at least be on a ship I enjoy.

    We're booked for the end of April and haven't cancelled yet. We're hopeful.

    Our Provincial government has recommended not to travel to the USA and to self isolate for 2 weeks upon return if we do go.

    We're not going anywhere soon.

    Same boat here; scheduled to go to Vegas April 24; playing a wait and see game right now. I suspect the Keith Urban concert we plan to attend may be cancelled.
