NV Gov. Announces Casinos not Opening till phase 3 or 4
Quote: YoyomamaIndian owned Turning Stone Casino near Syracuse NY will open June 1. They have most of the precautions in place and you can only enter the casino with proof you live within 125 miles of the casino.
Hopefully, demonstrators show up to protest this denial of their basic rights to infect and be infected. As most of the minority residents live in and around NYC, this is an obvious attempt to exclude them.
I went to the local slot club today. They gave people a number (1 to 40) and took your temperature, name & phone number. They'll call you when your number is available and you have 5 minutes to arrive, so people are sleeping in their cars in the parking lot waiting their turn (hot!). They had 1 machine lit, 2 machines turned off repeatedly for distancing purposes, so a favorite machine might be unavailable, but since the screens were dark, I don't necessarily know what games they turned off. Saw a Willie Nelson machine with a $650K+ progressive and an Outlaw Jackpot of $1199. A woman who was leaving and came to talk said she won $400, but the person next to her won $50,000 at the same time. I played 3 machines and lost $19.83 and quit. I had to wait an hour for the numbers they were calling to go from 11 to 40, back to 1, and up to 3. I did not bother with any slot club, and there were no free beverages. Bring your own mask or you won't get in. This weekend, they are taking reservations. You can reserve like an hour and a half to play up until midnite. Only 31 people allowed to play at one time. Normal maximum occupancy is 99 people. There's a few penny machines there where the jackpots are over $10,000. I'd probably stick with the higher payback 1 coin dollar 9/5 or 8/6 Jacks or Better video poker for an $800 Royal, but those are somewhere else, like Turning Stone.

Sounds like Union Springs? I haven't been following, but they are ignoring NY State laws/orders/Cuomo because they are on an "Indian reservation"?
Last summer I went with wife and another couple to Geneva on the Lake, maybe half hour drive to the casino? Wife LOVED it so maybe a return trip...?

I would still classify that as a political statement

The post calling people "gun nuts" was not called out by management as a political statement so why would this be?

Believe it or not there are some people who own guns of both parties
Claiming only one political party owns guns is not true. There may be differences of opinions on laws etc.
Saying a political party name (or naming them by mentioning a word that rhymes) is clearly making a political statement.
But that's my opinion. I am not a moderator
Quote: darkozIt's funny how the only people complaining about bill deblasio are people who don't live in NYC.
I don't know if that's backed up by any polling, but I read the NY Post. Seems to me that some folks in NYC are not happy. I don't have any numbers to back that up, but "the only people" implies that 100% of the people who live in NYC are not complaining. I don't think that's true.

There are reports that up to 25% of Manhattan's population has relocated outside of NYC since this started
Quote: Gabes22There are reports that up to 25% of Manhattan's population has relocated outside of NYC since this started
Maybe NYers feel they have the right to infect other people?
Seriously I don’t of that as anything about their mayor, would make sense there was an exodus of those fleeing mid March-April to lessen their risk of catching it, and then some due to unemployment.
Quote: Gabes22There are reports that up to 25% of Manhattan's population has relocated outside of NYC since this started
But DarkOz's point was that it's only the people who don't live there are the ones complaining about DeBlasio. I guess a lot of people were forced to move away so as to make that true.

Were they all tested before they left ?
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was a Cuban communist revolutionary politician, a Marxist–Leninist and Cuban nationalist.

I doubt that.
The average NY'er live in apartments. They have leases with security deposits
Highly doubtful 25% of the people just dipped on their security deposits.
And highly doubtful homeowners here dipped on their homes which they could not possibly sell for cost during the pandemic

That figure seems awfully high to me too. But can't we agree that of all of the people who are unhappy with Comrade Bill, some of them live in NYC? Regardless of which way the newspaper leans, look at the front page of tomorrow's NY POST.

Chances are they hadn’t paid their May 1st rent yet. So the security deposit they left covers that.
It’s an opportunity for them to start a new life and spread the virus in a new state.

As best as I can see, about 5% of city residents left, but many upper class NY residents have winter condos in Florida, and summer houses elsewhere. Thousands of college students left when schools were canceled. It's not that they have permanently left. It's that they sheltered elsewhere. My Sister wanted to send her kids down to their Palm Beach condo, but they didn't want to go.
No mayor is universally liked, but DiBlasio won re-election pretty handily and would be a heavy favorite if he runs again.

Hah! You don't Know NY'ers.
They are more likely to point out the NY civil court is closed and there is a moratorium on eviction right now and settle down for the free rent

As my professor's used to say, never say all.
So all NY'ers may not be happy with Deblasio.
But there are no city hall protests (and most definitely not with armed citizens) here. So I base my statement on that
Here is one rally where no one showed up except the cops!

I heard there was one rally with a few dozen on Saturday in Staten island but if you know NY you know that's like a snobbish place anyway separated from the main part of the city

There has been no news on the current clinical trials.
That's not bad not good. They are double-blinded placebo.
Double blinded means neither the patients nor the administering doctors know who has the drug. This avoids doctors doing any selection bias.
Unfortunately it also means no one knows if the drug vs. placebo is working until the double blind is removed
So we have a few more weeks for some data to be released
That is a big might, for sure. Every-time I think we may actually hear something solid the actual press conferences are full of double speak, buck passing and non-commitment to anything.
Imagine running a fine establishment like The Rusty Spurs or Double Down without being able to project re-opening at all. Must be killing them.
Vellotta had some great quotes in the article:
"Six health and safety experts have been invited to address the board in a videoconference, followed by board deliberations and possible action."
Does possible action mean reopening date finally set?
"Nevada is on track to be one of the last states to reopen casinos."
Really, your biggest industry is Casinos and you are the last??? Hell the peoples republic of CA is opening casinos before Nevada.
Pathetic just pathetic. I just want to spend 12 hours at the old Double Down playing video poker, drinking PBR & Ass Juice while listening to punk rock and there no way to schedule a trip.
On a good note I was able to confirm the TA Truck Stop on Dean Martin has a back entrance for the showers so the hard working truckers are not totally screwed. The truckers lounge and gym are still closed and no word on their awesome Alamo casino.
Another 12 hours at The Rusty Spurs would be on the schedule too... If only we knew the darn schedule.
The Alamo used to have some decent games but that was years ago. What was once the best BJ game in town is now among the worst.
The Double Down was kool ten years ago. Have you spent much time in Vegas in recent years?
Its a friggin sun blasted desert. I would feel safer there than anywhere.
Typically visit once a month. Was there last weekend.
Haven't played Black Jack at Alamo. Consider it awesome cause they got a William Hill & William Hill Kiosk and you can bet game than go across to the Rusty Spurs and watch. They also have Taco Time which we don't have in Cali. Sucker for the Crisp Beef & Crisp Bean Burritos, as my waistline will attest
Double Down will always be great to me. I can kill 12 hrs on their machines with a couple hundred buy in easy. Typically win and drink free PBR for hours & hours.
Consider the hard working folks at all three to be friends. Hate to see them suffering. Scared they won't come back.
Spotlight 29 in Indio has always treated me well. No free drinks but decent odds and good food.
Morongo & Harrah's Rincon are solid joints with marginal odds. Have a feeling that despite the odds the jackpots will be flying.
Don't be totally screwed by your leaders. Make the drive to Cali and be lightly screwed by ours. They allow gambling, no free drinks and no sports betting, but beggars can't be choosers these days.

No sports to bet on aside from baseball from Korea or virtual camel races from Dubai. Either is worse than betting on exhibition NFL games.
Quote: AlanMendelsonSisolak at 11:15 this morning had a video conference call with the Vegas Chamber of Commerce. It was carried live on several news media websites. He gave NO CLUE about when casinos might reopen or even when Phase 2 will start.
Phase 2 starts when they have two weeks of decreasing cases. On the CDC map where yellow and green are good and red is bad, Nevada is currently a dark orange.

Quote: TonyTwoEyesFYI - billryan California, Texas, Arizona & Louisiana are all darker than NV on that map. California, Arizona & Louisiana have already reopened casinos, Texas don't have many but sure which ones they do are reopening. NV casinos are the states life blood and they are still closed. That baffles me.
https://www.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/index.html
You are looking at a map of the total cases. California and Texas have many times the population so you are comparing apples and oranges.
California, this week, had more new infections than they did when they shut down. Nevada had been doing well but appears to have taken a step back this week.
It's funny but for twenty-five years, all I heard from APs is to relax, the casinos will still be there tomorrow.

They are silly enough to think keeping people alive is more important than letting gamblers gamble.
Quote: michael99000They are silly enough to think keeping people alive is more important than letting gamblers gamble.
They kept liquor stores open because a small percentage of the population is so addicted that they could die or end up in hospitals.
Perhaps next pandemic, we can save a few gambling addicts from their pain.
We are silly enough to know that video poker lounges put food on the table of the single moms who work there.
We are silly enough to know that when you bankrupt bars and restaurants their service companies and vendors are soon to follow.
We are silly enough to understand that our friends are hurting and they want to go back to work but they can't and no actionable dates are ever given.
We are silly enough to realize that the risks associated with widespread poverty are scarier than risks associated with this disease.
We are silly in knowing that a government trillions in debt cannot provide for 30% - 50% unemployed.
We are very silly these days.

How do you, or anyone, know the potential risks of the disease?
It’s been around for about 3 months. And killed 95,000. Just in this country. That’s all we know so far.
In the middle of February we were told 15 people had it, and it was going from 15 to 0
Seems to have taken a slight detour on that route
Reached my posting limit so best wishes to all.
To all my friends all over Nevada from Elko & Ely to Tonnapah & Rachel to LV, Henderson, CAL-NEV-ARI & Laughlin, Reno/Tahoe, Loneliest Road Towns and Jackpot. Hang in there and Good Luck.
NEVADA CASINOS REOPEN JUNE 4!!!!!!!!!!
Finally it is official. See ya'll 11:55 pm on June 3rd!!!!!!!
And when everything reopens up same thing is going to happen. I already see people out there who seem to have given up on the social distancing and masks.Quote: michael99000How do you, or anyone, know the potential risks of the disease?

Again, I ask, what can we do that will actually work, and will that fly with the American people?
How long can we actually keep everything shut down for, and will that work(I don't even know what I mean by work)?
I think the only thing that shutdowns can actually accomplish is giving everyone time to help ramp up testing, ventilators, Healthcare facilities to prepare for the inevitable.
I can't imagine any of the leaders are actually going to be honest about that.
People are going to have to weigh the risks versus rewards for themselves and do whatever they can to protect themselves.

Quote: TonyTwoEyesPretty sure the color codes on that map are based on infections against percentage of population. Louisiana darker than NV similar populations same for AZ and others.
The default map (number of infections) is based on total cases. At time of posting, Louisiana has 36,627 and NV has 7,271, which puts LA in the 5th color and NV in the 3rd color.
You can switch it to the rate (number of infections per 100,000 people) by clicking the header up top, where the two states fall into the same color bands of 3rd and 5th. If you mouseover the states, you can see the exact numbers, which puts NV at a higher rate than AZ, CA, TX, but vastly under LA.
Not speaking on the accuracy, validity, etc. of the info, just stating what's on the site.
