    Our April trip was reset for 8 June and we almost canceled thinking it would not be open yet. Staying all week at Flamingo. We might have stayed some at Harras but we did not know it would also be opening next week. Looks like things will pick up pretty quickly with more openings added to the list daily. If you will be in town and want to have a drink, send us a message. We will post some pics and reports here but mostly we will post videos on our youtube channel. Looking forward to reporting from the #NewVegas.

    Excellent!

    Things aren't 100% and they're still smoothing out the wrinkles, but Vegas is as close to normal as I'd have hoped for.

    I remember your previous video post - sounds like a plan - I will be watching out for them.

    Well it’s for sure the trip will get better after a start like this one. Room was not ready so we went and lost half our budget in two hours. Room still not ready so I thought food would help. Lost appetite at Margaritaville when the 70ish white haired couple at the next table start sucking face. I mean going at it like 15 year olds. Not just grumpy from losing. It was a sight that can’t be unseen.

    There are lots of things in Vegas that sometimes stick in your image. Maybe it is their first time seeing each other since quarintine lol Hopefully the image is replaced with some big wins or a better dining experience. Stay positive it's been a rough few months for many.

    My girl friend and I are very sorry for the display we put on. Just times she can’t keep her hands off me. Hell times I can’t keep my hands off me. I’m too damn cute as I’m sure you noticed.

    More serious note. Patience grasshopper. And remember, every day is a new and fresh start. We all been where you are. Also several beers often provides new perspective

    Good luck

    • [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] Beautiful day today. Thank you for all the encouraging words. The slots at Caesars treated us better. I didn’t lose as fast and Mindy scored a MAJOR on Dancing Drums betting only $2.64. Took a walk to savor the mood. Lunch at Buddy V’s was great. The appetizer meatballs (Grandmas Meatballs) are my new favorite. Love me some Grandmas balls. Nice walking on mostly empty sidewalks. Learned something new about social distancing. The lines at the gift shop are marked six feet spaces however once you reach the registers that are two feet apart shoulder to shoulder become safe. Took a nap and going back to Caesars.

    Nothing like a savor walk, some food and a lay down. Now back to battle to forces of (too often) evil. Best of luck.

    Very nice selfie photo, and very very nice win! Congrats on the turn-around!

    They do this same thing at my neighborhood convenience store. A head scratcher, for sure!!

    Thanks for the pictures, nice selfie, nice suite and very nice win.
    BTW, can you do me a favor and ask what HVAC system they use, just wonder if they have upgraded the HVAC system to filter out the virus both in the rooms and casinos to protect the customers. Thanks!

    Beautiful pic of the two of you and GREAT pic of the win!! Soooo fun when those happen :) It’s amazing everyone’s different view on what is 6 feet lol .... at the store I frequent, they have plexiglass shields in front of the counter, so maybe they think that works.... also it would just get weird to throw them my money or debit card to pay... I have terrible aim. Lol

    It is the same way at our local Costco, that's why we opt to pay at self -checkout kiosk where we are not back to back with other customers while paying and items are not touched by the cashiers. Too bad that not all stores have self checkout kiosk, but they are getting more popular.

    Many challenges to overcome. Many people working very hard to make the reopening successful and one drunk guy trying to sneak into the pool.

    I guess we'll let you join...
    Considering it's Flamingo. I know what my educated guess would be. :(

    Nice start Tom and Mindy, good luck the rest of the way!

    Hmmmm. Curious question - filters with a merv rating of 18 - 20 in use for clean rooms could stop spread of virus? and/or UV add on to HVAC that would kill it? I'm guessing very pricey, practical, etc. Any experts in the field have thoughts?
