Temperature Checks

Most hotels are NOT checking temperature.

 

At Wynn and Palazzo/Venetian, temperature is checked as you walk thru a scanner. There is a person watching on a computer screen as you walk thru and I would assume they would stop you if your temperature registered above whatever threshold they have set.

 

I didn't walk through all the Caesars or MGM properties, but from the ones I went through unless the one (if that) security guard at the entrance has some sort of super powers they are not checking temperatures of people on the way in. There's just way too much volume of people coming in / out. The security guards at the Cosmo entrances are definitely not in possession of technology which is scanning temperatures. Maybe there's other people hiding behind the walls looking at that, but if so then somebody could easily get quite a far ways inside before being removed, which kinda defeats the purpose of scanning people as they enter.

 

You're asking a lot of "what if" scenarios that I'm not sure anyone here can really answer. Unless someone here has first hand experience of how a hotel actually handles a guest with a fever, probably the info on the websites is the best anyone can reference. Keep in mind though having a fever and having covid are two totally different things.

Could you explain the underlying concern that you have? Are you actually planning to fly to Vegas and stay for 1 or 2 weeks at multiple properties? Maybe the easiest thing is to not do that and limit a trip to less time. Personally, I was there for 5 days over Labor Day weekend and did just fine.

 

I see what you’re saying... I would guess you’d have to go to a non-gaming hotel (where they don’t check temps) and wait until your fever and any obvious symptoms go away before you’d be allowed to board a plane. If it ended up being covid, you’d quarantine. That would stink, to say the least!

 

Our temps were scanned by a tall scanning “gun” on top of a pole, each time entering Wynn, Venetian and Palazzo. There were pairs of security guards at each station.

We saw a woman get stopped at Palazzo for being too hot. They asked her to sit down for a few minutes to cool off. We saw her later, so she must’ve passed.

 

There are designated non gaming hotels for Covid positive tourists. Everyone staying there isolated wouldn't need a temp check since they are covid positive confirmed is how I understood

 

If they did then it was not obvious.

 

Was at Cosmo in sept and no temp checks. People not wearing masks “right” after 11 pm. Some guests in VIP check in not wearing masks at all - no one said anything to them.

 

Unless someone has first-hand knowledge/experience with having a fever at check-in or at the hotel, I don’t think you’ll get the answer you’re looking for. If you don’t want to deal with the “what-if” portion or risk dealing with the fallout after being scanned with a high temperature, just don’t travel.

 

That's my understanding as well. In addition, I think a fever on its own is a red flag but not an absolute bar. Unfortunately, the list of symptoms keeps expanding to the extent that almost everything is on there. I think "fatigue" is on the list; I've been tired for 20 years. But testing is readily available, including a walk-up site at Thomas & Mack. If you test positive, whether you can go to the casino is the least of your problems.
