close to them.

The poker tables will be especially safe in that regard.

You can have stacks of 100's of peoples germs in front of you, and you will handle those stacks over and over, for hours on end.

No way THAT would be dangerous.

She couldn’t reply when the likely real-world consequences were brought up by Cooper.

everything about vegas is the opposite of social distancing.

crowded casinos, crowded shows, crowded restaurants, crowded airports and planes....

many places have a mix of hard-hit businesses but others getting by or even doing fine.

almost everything in vegas is shut down, i would think....

The casinos aren’t going to reopen until management believes that enough people will come to make reopening profitable. That won’t happen for a while, and nothing the Mayor of Las Vegas says is going to change the fact that people are rightly afraid to congregate in large groups at this time.

I’m kidding!

(I’d never even heard of that “insult” until I read about it here yesterday.)

She’s a muddleheaded mess, though.

How on earth did she ever get elected mayor? Poor Anderson can't even believe what shit he is having to deal with right now.
