Thread: Will the Las Vegas Strip Open Soon

  1. #161
    Also for me personally, 1-2 other players is about my sweet spot. While there are advantages to playing heads up, like speed of game and number of rounds IF the count grows strong, there is also the situation of aggressive exits (which I employ) drawing attention. If you are the only one playing and you exit aggressively after relatively few hands played because the count goes bad, the game will stop completely upon your exit, and create an awkward moment, which does gets noticed. If there is at least one other player the games goes on.

    I don't like more than about 2 other players because then the game slows to a crawl and it will mean relatively few rounds to the shuffle, so just about the time the count becomes advantageous, the dealer is shuffling. So 1-2 other players is my sweet spot. Now THAT is going to be mandatory.

    On the down side for me personally, I presume tables will be spread out a bit more, which would make attempting to track a second table more difficult. And even if I could still do that, with such limited seating probably can't jump to that second table with a better count / opportunity, so that technique is probably out for now.

    Maybe there will be extra tables open because of the limited seating per table or maybe it will just be the old sucky over-crowded conditions that I left back east when I moved to Vegas. We'll just see what happens.

    .
    AndrewG is probably highly skeptical of that possibility in the first place

    And the worst news is Roy Horn is no longer with us. Damn that coronavirus.

    GSR in Reno sent an email out they are taking reservations starting Friday the 22nd. Certainly sounds like these casinos believe they will be permitted to over for Memorial Day weekend.

    Let me file that one in the cousin eddie/welfare/food stamps drawer....

    Later today Shack and I are trying out some video-conferencing software he forwarded to me. I'm a face-to-face guy so this is a little out of my element. But watch how fast I learn.

    Kew I suggest you become educated on other life skills outside of bj and being an annoying liar on the internet. Until a vaccine arrives they'll be paying much more attention to less than half the amount of table players than there used to be. Or maybe you can simply adjust your tales...

    I thought casinos had to submit re-opening plans to the NGC at least 7 days prior to opening their doors, and only after the Governor orders them that they can do that? I guess there's still time, but that's highly aggressive for GSR. Phase 1 just started.

    Restaurants (no bars) can open in Nv. starting today if they adhere to certain restrictions. We got two notices of this from places in N. Nevada yesterday.

    For argument's sake let's assume this Chinese virus was serious enough to have shut down everything like they did.
    Regarding the poker table: That's f****** ridiculous, there's like zero chance it isn't going to spread like wildfire at that table alone. I assume everyone's using the same filthy chips and sharing the same f****** cards? They don't look like they're 6 feet away to me. What do they do when one guy sits out and another guy wants to sit in? Are they going over there and wiping it down and sanitizing it? Yeah, I seen people washing tables in restaurant with the same old filthy rag barely giving it a once-over and some highly diluted spray crap, it's like they're just moving the bacteria and germs around and spreading it across the table. I say either keep the shit shutdown or open it up all at once. I just can't imagine people are going to be practicing all this masks and social distancing once everything opens up for very long.

    or open/close until models show otherwise. Those who want to stay away can. Those who want to go about their life can. NYT had article where one dude in SK went to 3 dance clubs after they it clamped down and 27 people caught it. There will 100% be a second wave of some sort.

    If rules work too well people don't believe they were ever needed and blow them off. If rules don't work well enough people get sick anyway. lol

    Las Vegas casinos opening by Memorial day weekend (10 days) seems to be slipping away. Technically there is still time as the Nevada gaming commission new rules for re-opening, state a plan must be submitted at least 7 days prior to planned re-opening. But Yesterday, Venetian announced their re-opening plans were for June, and today MGM followed, saying they planned on a June opening.

    “ “We were about 15% or 20% higher than a typical weekend business, which is significant,” said Caleb Arceneaux, CEO of Liv Hospitality, part of a family business that owns and operates Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort and Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort and four hotels in Deadwood”

    For the Members who constantly cry that we don't talk about gambling anymore.
    Here is an invitation I just received today from the Wynn.
    The problem with talking about advantage play on these sites is many people get upset when you discuss specific plays.
    I have no problem posting about how the mail works, scamming the marketing department and or other tactics.
    I also do not cry when someone screws me over on some dishonest advantage play or honest one for that matter.

    Rampart Casino permanantly terminating employees with a recorded Phone message.

    I guess no real difference between handing them a peice of paper vs recorded phone message, but just seems a little sleezy. The timing also seems pretty odd. The word is casinos are going to try to open if not by end of May, then early June. Casinos have been closed for 2 months and now they are laying off people just before re-opening? I guess with these 50% occupancy rules, they may be realizing they will need a lot fewer workers and probably for a long time to come. I don't know.

    Try to face facts that it is basically over.
    States are about to go bankrupt.
    How many more times can they print 3 Trillion Dollars and hand it out??
    Time for retirement and learning how to farm and or hunt.

    Both are correct, only question is will the currency be gold, bullets or dollars?
