I just need you to stay safe and healthy, but I also want you to be happy. Just wait a few days and see what else you hear.

Truthfully, what I read doesn't sound all that bad as it mainly involves relaxing in your vehicle until it's time to go in. Then a quick temperature check and a mask, and you are good to go. I wish they had said more about what to expect once you are inside. 50% occupancy is all fine and good, but how many machines are running? How are they keeping people safe once inside, other than relying on masks?

I just hope people with underlying health issues or our older population heed the warnings to stay sheltered. IMO, that's where the problems will return as far as hospitalization and deaths. The key is to keep these numbers down.

That’s so true! Last night when I was getting take out there was a little old lady on oxygen waiting. It was a long wait!! So after a while I told her I was going to speak to management for her about expediting her order since she was high risk. She thanked me, but declined my offer. She said she was having fun and didn’t get out with people much!

I noticed the same thing. It’s the younger people I see wearing masks

The last day i was in a casino before the local casinos here closed, that’s who I still saw out and about too.

Guess you can’t tell grandpa what to do!

maybe they moved some machines but in the older places. not much room for reorgranizing them

Just saw my first ad for a casino in a while, one of our locals opening next Friday at 10am. (Fort McDowell).

They showed people playing games on their phone and asked if anyone was sick of this, then showed people having fun in their casino like old times.

I’ll go but probably not first day, only because it’s going to be busy I’m sure.

Ha at first I was thinking they would start with the Seven Stars since there are so many at Cherokee then I was thinking they probably will use the low rollers as the guinea pigs because they won’t want to kill their big spenders.

So I am a little confused here. They mentioned Phase 1 reopening on May 18th yesterday, but then I see this article in their newspaper from yesterday that reads differently. Does this mean Phase 1 opening on May 18th with full-on opening June 8th, or the Phase 1 pushed back to June 8th. To me the article is clear as mud.

July is doable for me. It lines up with my goal of trying to stay away until the 4th of July. Of course my trip to Reno is the last weekend in June but that’s close enough if that doesn’t get canceled.

Harrah's Ak-Chin opening Friday morning now too. Now I have choices this weekend!!!

Here's the details- no masks required, no buffet, no Laurel Lounge either, no bingo and no poker. It sounds like all slots will be on though- just spaced out.

HARRAH’S AK-CHIN CASINO TO RE-OPEN MAY 15, SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS IN PLACE
(MARICOPA, Ariz. – May 8, 2020) – The Ak-Chin Tribal Council has approved the re-opening of Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, effective 9 am on Friday, May 15, 2020.

Harrah’s management has put in place a variety of social distancing measures for the health and safety of casino guests and employees. These include:

The casino floor will be open with slot machine banks arranged to allow for proper social distancing and with limited seating at Blackjack tables. The Poker Room, Keno and BINGO will not be open at this time.
Hand-sanitizing stations throughout the casino floor, masks for all employees and increased cleaning service in all common areas and throughout the back of the house.
Dunkin Donuts[emoji2400], Copper Cactus, Chop Block & Brew, and Agaves will be open for food/beverage service, with social distancing protocols in place. The Buffet, Oak & Fork and Laurel Lounge will not be open at this time.
Based on the number of guest reservations, the resort and tower guestrooms will also open on May 15 for stays beginning that evening.
Additionally, The Events Center at Harrah’s Ak-Chin, including all events and conference, Valet and Spa and Fitness Center will remain closed at this time.

“Over the past several weeks the Tribal Council, along with Caesars management, have been monitoring the situation here in Arizona and across the country, making sure we had the best and most accurate information needed to re-open the casino,” said Robert Livingston, general manager of Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino. “We look forward to welcoming back our casino guests in the coming days.”



Also saw Gila River casinos opening Friday now so 5 of the 8 casinos near me will be open already and all will feel pretty normal with their plans.

I've made flight and reservation plans to stay at Bally's on the strip in LV 3 times so far. 1st) was for 5/2, then 5/15, now it's for arrival on 5/22. I hope that this will be the last time that I have to rearrange my plans. I need to get away and relax on some high limit video poker - it's been awhile. Hi folks! I'm back! Had a little snafu back in February. On February 12th, I had to go to the emergency room at my local hospital. I couldn't seem to catch my breath? So, after they checked me over, they said that I had a heart attack and wouldn't allow me to leave to go back home. They kept me overnight and transferred me by ambulance the next day to Duke University Hospital that's in Durham (NC). They said that I needed a double bypass. stayed there for 10 days until I could get back home and have been healing up nicely since and am now ready to have a little fun!!! Anyone else gonna be around Vegas? I'll be there for 10 days.

Had a little snafu back in February. On February 12th, I had to go to the emergency room at my local hospital. I couldn't seem to catch my breath? So, after they checked me over, they said that I had a heart attack and wouldn't allow me to leave to go back home. They kept me overnight and transferred me by ambulance the next day to Duke University Hospital that's in Durham (NC). They said that I needed a double bypass. stayed there for 10 days until I could get back home and have been healing up nicely since and am now ready to have a little fun!!! Anyone else gonna be around Vegas? I'll be there for 10 days.Glad to hear that youre better. Hoping that you dont need to reschedule Vegas again.

Welcome back and glad you are doing better! I would definitely think some video poker therapy can be helpful. I hope you are able to make it to Vegas safely and enjoy your time.

ATLANTIC CITY CASINOS NEARLY CERTAIN TO SURRENDER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND (https://www.njonlinegambling.com/atlantic-city-casinos-surrender-memorial-day-weekend/)
(https://www.njonlinegambling.com/atlantic-city-casinos-surrender-memorial-day-weekend/)


The indefinite shutdown of Atlantic City casinos will almost certainly cost the industry what could have been a lucrative Memorial Day weekend near the end of this month.

As of the start of this week, the majority of the city’s nine casino websites weren’t taking reservations for before June 1 — the exceptions being the three Caesars Entertainment properties that unrealistically allow you to book as soon as this weekend, as well as Hard Rock and its offering of refundable rooms beginning Friday, May 22.

(Bally’s, one of the three Caesars properties, lists this week’s dates as “sold out,” underscoring the conclusion that this weekend’s reservations will go unfulfilled.)

Tropicana, meanwhile, has thrown in the towel for the first week of June.

Gov. Phil Murphy ordered closure of the casinos on March 16, which, absent the global COVID-19 pandemic, would have been the first week of NCAA basketball’s March Madness tournament.

Even a June 1 reopening seems like a stretch, given New Jersey’s continuing ranking of No. 2 behind New York on all major U.S. pandemic metrics, including total deaths.

Asked about the casinos last week, Murphy said, “There’s no news on casinos, but obviously the governing bodies and the representatives of the workers will very much be a part of any decisions that get made.

“Again, as I mentioned to the earlier question about golf, it isn’t golf versus non-essential retail. It’s outdoors/indoors, and casinos are quite decidedly indoors. Now, I had said at the very first press conference that I participated in on Friday, March 13, that they have big scale, which helps. But there’s no decisions there.”

Reservations required!


"Yes I'd like the 4-7pm time slot.."

"I can schedule you in for 4-6:45pm, does that sound ok?"

"Have you visited China or Macau in the last 6 months?"

"A cough?"

"Have you had a good supply of toilet paper in your house? We have to protect our assets if we allow you to come."

"Please get a full medical exam and bring the report with you for our review."

"Excellent, we will see you at 4pm, come ready to have your temperature checked."

"We will issue you a shock collar that will start buzzing around 6:40pm to let you know it's time to go."

"Hope you have a great time!"

I hope so! Plan is to go to Wild Horse today but they open at noon. Thinking around 2pm the initial line will be inside so will try then. If they are at capacity Lone Butte is 2 miles away and I saw they converted their bingo hall into a slot room so they have more machines.

If that doesn’t go I’ll end up at Ak Chin or will just go to the Fort later on. Either way I’ll be pushing some buttons today !

So i went yesterday to Angel of the Winds casino. Entered lot and registered in their virtual cue over the phone. Took 1.5 hrs to get in. Wont do this again for a while but im sure as other casinos open, it wont be a problem.
While i was waiting in the car, i noticed alot of people getting together and chatting. No masks and 2 ft apart. Mostly young adults and 60 to 70 yo men. Seemed like the old guys would initiate the convo. As i said before, this age group is most susceptible and most likely to not give a f... upset by this. I was afraid one of the old guys would pop their head in my window to try and chat.
Once i got texted, ID and temp check at door and was good to go.
Machines were easy to get on. 50% capacity so was not packed. If slots were grouped in 2, they were both on. If a bank of more than 2, every other slot was off . Lots of staff were spraying something on panels as they walked by empty slots. No plexi dividers at slots or tables. Everyone required to wear masks.
Overall i didnt like the waiting and mask was annoying but seemed the same otherwise. Non smoking was nice . My clothes didnt stink.

all day today I have been getting notifications about local casinos opening. Some on Friday.

I have zero interest until I see how this plays out. We have been successfully practicing self stay at home for 65 days with just trips out for necessary items. Last thing on my mind is entering a casino. I will in due time. It's just not a priority. I really don't miss the feeling of driving home, mad at myself for losing a couple of hundred dollars, several times a week.

Our local says it isn't ready to open yet. I miss it, but don't plan to go when they first open anyway. Have a trip planned for Tunica end of August-hopefully by then they will have worked out the "reopening kinks" and things will be better. I will likely go to the local some time before, but it depends on when they reopen. I have gone out only for needed items and to take my husband for treatment and appointments. (Except for walks outside when the weather is nice). I wait in the car for him. Fortunately I worked from home anyway. I have no desire to be around crowds. 36% of Wisconsin COVID-19 patients were between the ages of 40 and 59.

I spoke with a ParkMGM host today. He said Bellagio, NYNY on June 1 and MGM Grand on June 4. I imagine they’ll all be pushed to June 4th based on what the governor said. The host said that Aria is next and subsequent MGM resorts will open as capacity is met at each open hotel. He also said the all hosts will

You'll have so much money to take you will need me. I will require 1st Class. I will sit across the aisle though if you prefer, you know for social distancing. [emoji14]

My gambling bankroll is indeed very healthy! I’m afraid I’ll be totally degenerate when I do go back. That makes me smile. [emoji3][emoji3] I haven’t decided exactly when I’m going back. I have a telemed appointment with my doctor next week. I’m going to get her opinion on the risks of flying. I’ve got plenty of masks and ordered wrap around googles to wear in the plane. I’m not really concerned about the casino. I’m comfortable with the measures they have in place. DH has given me his blessing to go..... so, maybe end of June, early July???

When’s your first trip??

I just got an email from MLIFE with offers for the three casinos that are opening first. Noting special, but they are offering 5x points until the end of July, valid on ANY slot. No more speciality slot penalty the way I read it. Tempting, but I just can't go this soon.

Ilani Casino near Portland opens tomorrow at noon. I had an invitation to a VIP preview yesterday or today so I went & took my dad. He lost & he didn’t have any free play so he didn’t have as much fun as we hoped. I did have free play & I won on it so I was giving him money to play. It wasn’t too crowded today. They took our temperature before we went in, & we had to wear masks but they were handing them out. The masks are required except when eating, drinking or smoking, so at any given time there are a lot of people without their face covered. My dad had a cloth mask that kept sliding off his nose, I think because he was chewing gum. Anyway, out on the main slot floor, at least every other machine was disabled & the chair removed. In the high limit room, all the machines were on, with plexiglass between machines. They also have “sanitation stations” everywhere, basically looks like a metal ashtray base with a wipe dispenser in it.

Zooms - thanks for the update. I get all those emails, luckily they have slowed somewhat as the event/music activities have been tabled. I golfed at Tri-Mountain (about a mile from Ilani) yesterday - we thought it would be a good day as the course would be less crowded with everyone going to the casino. No such luck, weather just perfect at 91 with a light breeze so the course was straight out packed. As good of job as they've done to reopen, I am in no hurry to get back as Clark County still on lock down. Continued good luck there!

Okay, Little Creek near Shelton, Wa (claim to fame (for Shelton, not the casino) Washington state prison lol) Opened last week. Hubby was talking about wanting to get out so I told him he had $50 free play there and that table games are open (some casinos don’t, just slots) so off we went. We got there and were routed around the casino where we were told there was a 40 min wait & asked to give a cell # & name & asked if either of us was a black or gold card member (Those levels get priority, sometimes it pays to be a big loser!!!). I gave them my cell # my name & said yes, black card. We were told to go park in the parking structure & wait in the car until we were notified to go in. Before we parked (and we found a space as soon as we went in the garage) got a text welcoming us & told to go to the door for entry.
Unfortunately I lost but hubby won $115 on blackjack so he was happy. We had dinner, Cobb salad for me & oysters & chips for hubby. First dinner not eaten in either the vehicle or the house since middle of March.

You may want to make a shopping run to the gift shop. I went back Wednesday with my dad & my non-gambling sister so Dad could play his $40 free play. He lost that & more & was pretty cranky. Anyway, we went to Line & Lure for dinner so he could use the $20 in Player’s Perks he had received a mailer for. I intended to either use my $50 or points to pay the balance. He had $85 total in perks! The waitress checked mine for me, I have $225, 3 @ $50 & 1 @ $75. Apparently the perks have been carried over from March.

If you smoke it would be a chance to stock up on free cigs! I don’t (quit in 1993) but I’m thinking about going down next week to check out purses or maybe watches. I would say luggage but I don’t think I’ll be traveling much for a while.

Early this morning (well damn early for me) 730 am I headed to the Ilani to check out the reopening on Zooms suggestion. Glad I did.

Card didn’t work, went to the desk and not sure the issue but no record of the account. Since I didn’t know my prior address they wouldn’t reconstruct the account. Anyway, didn’t let it ruin the day - but no resort credits or free play for me.

Consequently, decided I would only play 20 and leave - win or lose.

About third spin in I got this

Pocketed the Tito. And then sat down at a quick hits. About ten spins in hit for 35. Cashed. Cashed Tito’s

And off I went to get the day on.
