Returning to Las Vegas

Well I got an e-mail from the Wynn today saying they're opening soon and outlining all the precautions they'll take.
I logged into my Red Card account and found that all the same offers are still active, but with new prices. $99 per night in July. I haven't seen prices that low since 2009.
Similarly Westjet offered great prices a few weeks back so I booked the flights too. Again I haven't seen prices that good in years.
So my wife and I will attempt to have a summer vacation in Las Vegas around our anniversary in July. I felt terrible cancelling out back in March so I hope this helps in some way shape or form.
As Gandhi once said, "Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is important that you do it, because nobody else will."

It took a pandemic to get back what we expect and deserve.

A crisis of some sort it seems. As mentioned above, I haven't see prices like this since 2008 Financial Crisis.
I know people speculated in other threads what minimums/odds/pay tables/etc. would be like once things get going. If folks stay away in droves in the first weeks or months of reopening will resorts and casinos try to entice folks back with good gambling? I know one rollback we'd all like to see is on resort fees. My booking with the Wynn yesterday included the $45/day resort fee. $99/day room with a $45/day resort fee. It seems a little out of proportion.
