    Vegas to return to 100% capacity opening on June 1... sort of

    Steve Sisolak announced that the "goal" is to have 100% capacity in the state by June 1, but it could happen sooner. On May 1, the state will hand control over to local governments to determine what's best.

    Clark County would then be in control of Vegas' fate.

    Las Vegas is really looking to see conventions return, but that's not going to happen for awhile.

    The 120-day thing is odd, because it requires a 4-month waiting period when COVID numbers are at acceptable levels. Why? Shouldn't it be near-immediate, because things can change so quickly?

    Vegas is operating as a shell of its former self, without clubs, shows, and conventions.

    I’ve driven through northern Nevada 3 times in the last month. Outside of Vegas and Reno, nobody is wearing masks. Absolutely nobody.

    I hope so, the last few times I’ve been to Vegas the pokers been excellent but everything else sucked. One Friday night in Feb. the strip was empty by 11pm. I walked out of the Bellagio looking for something to do...nothing. No people to meet, no one to drink with. It sucked.

    Since my call in on the show a few months back. I’ve had 3 friends in there 50s and 60s die from Covid complications. All were over weight and 2 in very poor health, life time of drugs and partying. It’s sad because the guy that got me in to MMA passed, that one hurt. He really did help me avoid prison and change my life.

    I did get the vaccine because I’ve been playing a ton of live NL. I fly to Mexico in May, Vegas in June,July and august. I figured being that close to people for hours at a time It’s possible and likely Ill be exposed to a variant and get covid again.

    I guess if I lived closer, a return to Vegas would interest me. I had some friends invite Wifey and me to join them on a Vegas trip next month. We passed. We have the Hard Rock here in Hollywood, Fl and the Baha Mar is a 37 minute flight away from FLL. Yes, I do miss playing cards at the Bellagio, but I'm not ready to sit on a plane for 5+hours wearing a mask the whole time. I have flown to Newark and it was about 3 hours and it was about my limit. I've already committed to running a Half Marathon race in Vegas next February, so I guess we'll see where things are at then.

    My wife and I are running rock and roll as well.

    Good to see that I'm not the only one on PFA that runs. It's the only way I can drink beer without getting super gordo.
