Hopefully all will go well and people will stay safe. The place needs tourists and the casinos are the lifeblood of the economy. They have been hit probably as hard or harder than any place due to the nature of the businesses there.

I once had a choice between going for training in Vegas or Texas, it was an easy decision and I didn't hesitate, Texas of course. I knew nothing of either at time, both unique places, but Texas is more my cup of tea. Nothing against Vegas, but other than an ex-gf trying to lure me there to get married in one of those drive-through places, I've seen enough casinos to have seen them all, though at the time, I had only seen one, hah (I have no addiction for it).

Hopefully they can get their shows going again and other activities. It's a city that truly doesn't sleep.

Las Vegas to reopen casinos -- with restrictions

Las Vegas is set to reopen casinos following its coronavirus lockdown, but guests should not expect a return to business as usual.

Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak set a tentative date of June 4 to reopen casinos statewide following two weeks of continued decrease in both new cases and hospitalizations. Should the decline continue through the weekend, Sisolak will hold a press conference on Tuesday to reveal further rollbacks as part of the next phase to reopen the state.

Virginia Valentine, president and CEO of the Nevada Resort Association, applauded the governor's decision, calling it "fantastic news" for Nevada's gaming industry.

"Our members have spent more than two months preparing for this day," she said in an emailed statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "They've put in place enhanced health and safety plans and protocols ... Our memebers are excited to show off the enhancements they've made that preserve the experience while ensuring the well-being of our employees and visitors."

Casinos are required to submit plans for reopening, which will require approval at least seven days ahead of actually opening their doors. Other businesses, such as nightclubs, dayclubs, buffets and large venues will remain closed – including the infamous Cirque du Soleil.

I like gambling, but I like a lot of the restaurants and and acts and shows even more; I'll wait til those are back. Vegas without comedians is just Disneyland without rides.

i would bet that if Vegas had no comedians the place would still be doing business.....Disney with no rides though....thats another story....
 
Has anyone here ever won anything at a casino before and if you did, how much did you get and what kind of game were you playing?

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Earlier today, I was watching the season two Perfect Strangers episode when Larry can't walk away from the Roulette game on his own.

Yes. Lots of people win, there is just a fewer number of winners than losers overall on average. Sme games, like craps, have lines of bets that cut the house advantages to less than +5%, for instance. Other games, like poker, have no 'house odds', you're playing against other people not the house. Baccarat is a hot game now with Asians and others, fro some reason, it's not that fun a game but fashionable, where the house advantages can be less than 1%. Of course, if you're one of those who can't quit until all their money is gone, you will never win at all.

I used to play a lot of poker, but it's not that popular any more except for the Texas Hold em stuff, which is too much like pure gambling. I could do well one out of every three years, and there are many players who made good livings from playing it. Also, the sports books do very well in Vegas, and horses are still popular.

I don't understand everything that you say here, but thank you for telling me. I do know that if I were to be there and score something, it would be enough for me. I would not be willing to risk what I already have in order to see if there was anything more that I could get which is why I may never get myself into such a picture.

God bless you always!!!

Well, if nobody ever won, nobody would play, is about the gist of it. No need to bet anything but pennies and nickels if you don't want to risk a lot. But, the shows are the big draws now, and many are well worth it. It's a lot more 'family friendly' now, plenty of stuff for kids to do.

It depends on what seat you are sitting at .I can't ever find the right seat.

Yes, sometimes that is the same way I feel. I gamble a lot less now, for reasons cited above, but I still like Vegas and I still get comps and tickets at the Belagio and a couple of others, and the rooms are still free, so I'm good for trip out there at least a week every few months or so.
