The Strip is under tremendous construction from Downtown to Spring Mountain. The worst I have ever seen it. Some of that construction has been going on since they tore down the Riviera. I thought it might be fun to drive up the Strip for a change but I was kinda wrong. I did hit most green lights so was unable to take many pictures but when I got up near the Wynn I got to snap a few. I got to see what the new Stardust might look like and downtown the new Las Vegas Club is coming together. Anyways, my point is if you are in Vegas it might be best to avoid the Strip even more so than in years past. These three pictures that I uploaded don't show the severity of the construction. I guess, since the world is hiding from the public, at this time, it is a good time to repair and rebuild. They seem to have the cranes out everywhere you look.
I used the restroom at Harrahs but didn't check any stalls for queerJ's advertisements. I was actually a bit disoriented as I haven't been in Harrah's very much since the remodel and it was kinda confusing to me because everything felt the same but looked wrong. Most of the machines and tables were in the proper areas and order but the carpet, paint and remodels didn't add up to my memories from decades past. Lastly, they had a security guard in the back entrance checking temperatures but it was only set up for those checking into the hotel. It appears that if you are heading to the Casino you don't have to get temperature checked. I didn't check very closely at the Strip Entrances but it didn't look like they had anyone or any checkpoint set up. I walked into a few Casinos downtown where they had checkpoints as well but nobody working the station at around 3 or 4 am. I found that humorous.
I seen people enjoying coffee and breakfast with no masks on and sitting relatively close to each other. I guess the virus doesn't get you when you eat or drink but when you gamble it is very contagious as you are supposed to mask up. Boyd Gaming had a message that they are going to crack down more after June 25th but seemed kinda lax to me early in the morning as I had mine off most of the time playing machines. Sounds like Nazism to me. I would like to thank mcap for forcing me to post about Vegas in the Vegas Forum and I would hope this entertains tableplay a bit as it is Vegas related even though not exactly gambling related.
