All filled, from the looks of it. Note that the flights were all one-way.

Also, they have 0 flights departing from the North East and mostly have mid-west and south-western departure airports.

1000 flight were snatched up in less than 2 hours. He said he was going to put up more. Not sure when or if he has already done so.

They added more flights a couple of hours ago. All full now.

Apparently today was one of the busiest days for room bookings in The D’s history. So good for them.

I was going to post up about this, but not because it might be a good deal, I have no doubt that it is.

All the comments on Twitter we're gushing with admiration as if this was some kind of philanthropy. So much so, that it made me want to puke.

This is not philanthropy or act of kindness. IT'S A MARKETING PLOY.

It may be a marketing ploy, but considering there is no requirement to stay at, or even to merely visit, the D or Golden Gate, it sure is an interesting ploy!

Don't forget he needs a nice big mailing list for the Circa. He's not stupid.

Two of the second round of flights were from Buffalo and Boston.

I was a little surprised that there was one flight from San Francisco and then two from Oakland.

I may visit Vegas again
But no way would I fly.

When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

And that's why they didn't say you had to stay or visit the D, because they know that would look super bad.

Again, I'm not saying it's a bad deal, it's better than other casinos are are doing but they're certainly not Heroes for doing this. It's just good old fashioned PR and marketing.

I flew for the first time last weekend. It had been over 3 months since I was on a plane. The planes were about 1/3 full and most were wearing masks.

You are Genius!.. No SH@#TT !! No one thinks it is a pure philanthropy play. It doesn't take a GED to know that it is a great PR and a way to get people back to Vegas and spending money there. Loss Lead.

Dude, that was obviously over exaggerated a bit, however, Apparently you haven't seen what they're saying on Twitter.

Here's just 2 from the top of the list, I have no doubt that somebody either already has or by the end of this will call him a philanthropist.

" you are a great man."

Oh geez. Look at this legend. Hes going to buy more!! Like

If you look, most of the days are in the first week of June. If the casinos (anyone's, not just his) have reopened then I'm sure that it'll be social distancing galore. I'd rather fly in the regular way when things calm down and let the die hard degenerates be the guinea pigs.

I was actually looking forward to giving Circa a try but I'm sure it's completion date has been pushed back.
