In lieu of all of Vegas shuttering itself and the Covid virus accelerating faster than people thought it would, who thinks that the major strip property owners will go into bankruptcy?

I personally think no because they have cash in the bank plus credit lines to tap. There have been BK closures in the past but they were, by and large, in AC with mismanagement at the heart of the problem.

Not right away but eventually. When they
reopen nobody will be flocking to the
casinos for a long time and most will
have to shut down or scale back
drastically. Vegas is done, I think. It

It will be very tough for LV to ride this out.
The psychological impact will keep people
from traveling to be in crowded locations.

Think of the convention industry, shows
etc...
This may be good for online legalization
nation wide which is what I want.

If you are an advantage player, I'm not sure that's what you would want. In the short term there might be some good opportunities,however, in a long run I actually don't think it will be good, especially if it closes down all the offshore places and we have far less brick-and-mortar casinos.

I believe the new post coronavirus 'normal' will hurt the casinos specifically. The general overall unsanitary nature will be magnified. I think business will be down maybe 5-10% as a result of the public's changed attitudes.

I am guessing the cruise industry will be affected far more. Maybe down 15-20% going forward.

Airlines down a few percent.

Foreign travel down a few percent.

Travel to New York City? Down 10%?

Restaurants, bars and dance clubs that had normally been packed with wall to wall people... any entertainment or sport that involved a densely packed crowd

Also wonder how it affects barber shops, hair salons, nail salons , massages , businesses that rely on the complete opposite of social distancing. Obviously we all need to get our hair cut , but will anything be done differently forever in these places?

Vegas is like the old amusement parks, Coney
Island and such. They were huge in the first
50 years of the 20th century, as were travelling
carnivals. TV and panoramic color movies put
them out of business. Cheap entertainment
at home or close to home.
Indian casinos are doing that to Vegas. So Vegas
depends on foreigners to keep them going. But
that's a fickle demographic, all it takes is something
like this to keep them away in droves. I remember
Vegas in the 70's and 80's, very few foreigners.
Now it's all you see on the Strip it seems like. If
Vegas loses them they're doomed. I have no
desire to ever go there again. Why would I.

Gotta get back to business. The economic repercussions and resulting health implications will dwarf everything else. Gotta get back to business. There is a point of no return for many businesses....small and large.

This cannot continue on indefinitely. There is no “safe” return back to normal. The new normal will have risks.

MGM....by selling several properties and paying off $4 billion in debt has enough cash to weather the storm.

I don’t know. I’ve been to casinos on all inhabited continents, Macau and Monaco included, and there is no place that remotely compares to Vegas IMO. There are some Indian casinos near my home...nice facilities but I rarely go as it’s just not the same atmosphere. And they don’t have Craps.

I don’t see online gaming ever taking out land casinos. Just like we still have movie theaters despite having TV forever and Netflix etc.

Cost of travel is so low these days that nearly anyone can afford a trip to LV. I’m sure that back in the day only the wealthy flew out to Vegas . Time will tell

Once the pandemic is over, I see no reason not to continue with normal behavior which has been fine for years and years. I'll keep getting my flu shot like I usually do, and if there is a covid one, I'll take that as well. I'll be in a crowd, just like I would last year and the year before.

If vegas crowds weren't diminishing before the pandemic, I don't think they will afterward. Unless most casinos are unable to support the kind of packages that bring tourists in, why would people stop coming?

Originally Weekends carried the city. Then the privately built exhibition center carried Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

For a long time Vegas competed with Gambling Everywhere and became a town of hip, trendy gourmands and showgoers who merely "dabbled" in gambling.

Post-Corona gambling will boom nationwide, but Vegas will merely return to a stately grandeur. The top tier casinos will rebound but the middle tier will focus on clubs and shows, there will be shakeout in Locals Gambling and only the standouts will share in a boom.

I believe the new post coronavirus 'normal' will hurt the casinos specifically. The general overall unsanitary nature will be magnified. I think business will be down maybe 5-10% as a result of the public's changed attitudes.

I am guessing the cruise industry will be affected far more. Maybe down 15-20% going forward.

Airlines down a few percent.

Foreign travel down a few percent.

Travel to New York City? Down 10%?



I am not sure where I fall on this. The younger crowd will come through relatively unscathed albeit without much bankroll. The only remotely similar event to fall back on historically would be Spanish Flu which was followed by the roaring (19)20s and then the Great Depression.

Our memories are short, and this year will be a once in 100 year event- from which we will have learned a lot and adapted. Making the next pandemic supposedly much easier to handle. I'm optimistically siding with once there is a treatment and vaccine people will feel much safer and desperate for human contact and entertainment.

Of course, I am wrong many times every day (just ask my wife) so who knows.

I think some of the sanitary measures will remain. The buffets will reopen without "food ambassadors", but with cough barriers and distributed seating galore. Hand sanitizer stations will remain prominent but un-policed.

Many small towns in America had health Officers during the Spanish Flu who seized businesses and enforced quarantines and otherwise effected a major change our American way of life. The towns returned to normal.

I wonder if it might make sense to watch the insider trades on these. I looked at a few, (WYNN, MGM, BYD, LVS), and at this point the only recent activity seems to be buys. That's a pretty good indication that they are confident about the future. But who knows what might happen over time.

I agree but would say do not buy what was in trouble before as it will be after. IMHO locals casinos will be back to normal much faster as Strip properties need to wait for people to want to travel, which will take longer. People are for sure burning vacation days to make it thru this. Even if we assume a May 1 opening 2020 is done for the Strip. Maybe NYE is normal.

The weak will have issues.

The question about housing in Vegas is interesting. There was little protection for regular people during the recession. And people were underwater as well. Wasn't good for abandoned property. Empty houses got torn up inside.

Florida should be interesting for housing. The way we're going, the old folks will die in droves. Me and Mom among them, probably. Hard to quarantine forever. I bet 15% or more of the houses are on the market by the end of the year, crashing the housing recovery that we finally had this past year.

I thought you were offering from 2020 to 2021? I will still take it though. I need help on who publishes total handle. I only get the sports handle on my podcast.

If I win I will probably just have you give it to the dog pound near me, if you want to do a charity feel free.

Women seem to have it significantly less or easier than men (almost 50% less female deaths than male). So far it's like a lottery, we don't know what causes some people to have it so mildly or even completely asymptomatic and others going critical pretty fast.

I don't really know the intricacies of Gaming holdings. They are very complex. I'm sure theres a golden parachute at the top of management/ownership buried in there somewhere. As for the destination Las Vegas, it has seen its better days. Unencumbered travel for me in the 80's was something I have not seen since 9-11. Basically plunk down three Benjamins and get a flight to/from LV from the E. Coast. Even better was the $1000 gaming requirement, cupons, discounts, etc. Vegas was open for business, and doing great business. Tourist-wise as several others point out correctly IMHO much has changed. Vegas is no longer a $2 or even $5 town. The wide-spread Native American Casinos took that business in the 90's. Today I wouldn't think of Vegas as anything less than green-chip, and black chipping prevails. A $10 table looks like a door-buster.

I think the question at base is not wether Casino A or B fails, its will LV itself fail. To that end LV will survive, just like amusement-parks and hotels. But it will take time. IIRC Even Bob put forth 2022, (I appologize if mistaken) and I agree. Wizard plunking down money on that comeback is a smart, long term bet. Near term, a lotta financial pain, perhaps the proverbial and cliche roller-coaster. I put 1/2 my Benjamins on the smaller hotel REIT's that had until COVID-19 a good strong balance sheet (with other investments). These not in LV, but in larger cities USA and immediate surroundings. Ultimately, while not a sure bet, both are good bets IMHO.

Theres many ways to make and lose money in these times, each of us punts with our best knowlege. In some cases patience is the path to success. In some cases there IS a good quick buck worth taking. 50% in a week, or triple your money in three years with a 30% dividend. Each of us has their own favorite, or blend.

Personally, I would not bet against Las Vegas, but the financially stronger of the Casinos carry that burden.

I think the best answer is a question: when will the vaccine be created and in production? Let's hope for the early part of 2021 but that is still an unknown. In the period before that we will see the infection rate ebb and flow.
At times when the virus spikes again the lockdowns will return. Even in the lower infection rate periods there will still be social distancing in the casino. If its similar to Macau, we would see masks for everyone, every other seat empty, etc. Plus we have to consider issues in the places where tourists originate their potential trips.
I think that locals casinos and bars/restaurants will hang in during the pre-vaccine period. Any business that depends mostly on tourists is in for the fight of their business life. Unfortunately some won't make it.

Just wait for this virus to get into the ventilation systems of every larger building and everybody comes down with some kind of lethal Legionnaires Disease COVID-19 type.

Vegas totally depends on people in
other countries cramming themselves
onto packed planes and then wandering
the Strip in tightly packed groups.
End of summer? Try end of 2022, if
ever.

I would bet money on this but I've said before I'm not a big prop bettor and I already have a few outstanding prop bets with members of the forum. I don't want any more.

Vegas will be fine by the end of the year. I bet 1000 Wizard bux on it.
