In reply to Jon. 51 casinos? From the Strat to the airport there are maybe 30

I can’t imagine any Department of Transportation would allow colored asphalt. Everything on public roadways is highly regulated to ensure safety.

Besides, the Strip is distracting enough for drivers. Adding multi-colored road surfaces to the mix would be insane.

The best you can probably expect is a decorative crosswalk. Of course, crosswalks are few and far between on the Strip.

The company I’m employed by allows smoking in your own car on breaks. I get sort of a kick watching the handful of remaining losers rushing out to the parking lot in the middle of winter to burn one in their freezing cars in the 90 seconds they have left. It’s absolutely amazing how many people quit smoking altogether when the company did away with the smoking areas many years ago. Many people finally figured out they were bigger than a nasty and offensive addiction.

In reply to Boulder Steve. No need, we will all already be there until the other casinos follow suit and appeal to the majority.

In reply to Jon. Atlantic City tried it in 2008. Lifted the ban after 20 days.

Really hope it works for them – it would certainly now be my number one choice to play at. Choice is always good. There are 51 casinos on the Las Vegas strip. Doesn’t seem too much to ask that people have a choice of all of fully smoking casinos, half-and-half casinos with areas of both, and fully smoke-free casinos within that large number.

Well, this isn’t a real try at non-smoking because people can go next door and smoke. To truly have non-smoking it needs to be everywhere and have smoking areas like the LAS airport.

I’m guessing this will fail and people will just chalk it up to “See, it won’t work” but it’s not a real shot at non-smoking.

Exceptions for eating, drinking, and smoking mean one really doesn’t need to wear a mask at a resort except at the front door. So, removing one of those exceptions might mean more masked time for guests. Still, it seems a bit hair-splitting to nanny your guests about sanitizer, masks, hand-washing, and social distancing only to let them chain smoke from the moment they arrive.

My hope is that the Park can find enough customers to fill the restaurant seats. I went to the Strat for lunch at noon today. Not a single restaurant was open. A helpful guard said I could sit in the sportsbook, but food and drinks were not being served. think all the resorts are going to have to be happy with weekend-only crowds.
BTW: That arch that was supposed to be finished Aug 28th must’ve been delayed by all the LV Blvd repaving or something. It’s still not done. And it’s unheard-of for YesCo to be late, so there’s external problems, fo’ sho’.

In reply to Gregory M. Waryas. Silver City was 20 yrs ago. The world is now a VERY different place.

The Park MGM Logo looks like Bhaskara’s perpetual-motion wheel, which–surprise!–didn’t work.
