    Even so, sportsbetting will be fine here, but one or two outs have a small chance of going broke if the casinos are still blacked out come July 1, some will begin to really worry if they can survive.

    I'm not talking about only sports betting. I'm talking about all forms of gambling. If I can place the same bets on blackjack, poker, slots, etc etc from my home, instead of travelling to Vegas, then why would I travel to Vegas to do that?

    If you are arguing that Vegas can survive and have gambling not be the pull, but rather shows/vacation destination be the appeal, etc etc...then I'll just disagree. I don't think travelling to a desert is that big of a pull anymore.

    you are paid based on offshore sportsbooks

    you bash vegas 1000x for every 1 good thing you say about it

    you are an embarassment as a gambler, and as a human being

    Will be a bloodbath in the short term... Penn already dumped Trop in a leaseback deal. Could have been in the works but there will be some short term pain. They will adjust and reduce costs coming back.

    They might have to increase them to make up for the losses.

    People love to gamble, Vegas will be fine.

    It's just like drinking alcohol, if alcohol went away for 2 or 3 months just as soon as it came back people would start drinking again and the bars would re-open. Somethings just won't go away.

    I'd be okay with that.

    Personally, I think it's a great time to remodel and upgrade everything.

    I passed by some non-strip casinos, and they were barricaded. Looks like they're not doing anything, though.

    I like your thinking, but no.
    Legal hookers are not a game changer.

    I think they are. Section off DT area as a red light district and do it classy....that and legal street weed for personal use. Strip will always have the food and shows, DT has the weird factor!

    Could also give comped tours of damn, etc to first 10k visitors in April or stuff like that.

    Vegas will be fine

    Sounds like you haven’t been to NYC in decades, guy.

    The reason it’s the epicenter for COVID-19 is because 8.6 million people live in a small area, not because it’s a “shithole”.

    It's good that they closed the casinos. It could have spread easily with people touching chips and cards and then their faces when they lose the bets. Slot machines would also be hard to keep clean.

    Actually just netted 300k this afternoon on a small harvest hitting shops in SoCal. Might come to Cali and buy your house and make your mother our maid as she has been ridden way too hard to put on the blade.

    If coronavirus doesn’t catch up to you this year I hope some Mexicans cave your skull in.
