  1. What is the setup at Winstar: masks, plastic partitions? Do they allow seat changes?
  2. The Clark County Commission approved the 42-page plan April 20 to increase capacity restrictions for public gatherings to 80% occupancy effective May 1 and reduce physical distance requirements from six to three feet. Additionally, businesses still closed, including nightclubs and adult entertainment, may reopen. Commissioners agreed that capacity and social distancing requirements will be removed when 60% of the eligible population receives at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Masks will continue to be required, per state directive. Some of the other local changes due this weekend include expanding restaurant seating from six diners per table to 12, the return of self-serve buffets and food sampling, elevator capacity growing from four riders to eight, and the return of piercings and tattoos in and around the nose and mouth. Dance floors can reopen once the county hits the 60% mark. Casinos remain under the purview of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, but state gaming regulators have already said Clark County gaming floors can also officially hit 80% capacity on Saturday. https://m.lasvegassun.com/news/2021/apr/27/clark-county-cleared-80-capacity-social-distancing/
  3. A Texas man arrested Sunday on suspicion of DUI first caught law enforcement’s eye as he sped a rented Lamborghini past a Nevada Highway Patrol substation in Jean, headed the wrong way, according to an arrest report released Tuesday. “The driver operated his vehicle with a willful and wanton disregard for the safety of himself, his passenger and the motoring public,” the report states. According to the report, the sports car’s driver was throwing napkins, water bottles and other items out of his car as he headed the wrong way down Las Vegas Boulevard South near mile marker 12. He then pulled onto a dirt road. Highway Patrol in a tweet Sunday reported that the driver of the pricey rental was “off-roading while impaired.” On the dirt road, a Highway Patrol trooper pulled over the driver, later identified as Quentin Sargent, of Arlington, Texas. Sargent, who is in his late 20s, smelled like alcohol, slurred his words as he spoke and had glassy, bloodshot eyes, according to the report. The trooper called for a DUI Strike Team unit to assist. Sargent told police that he had not consumed any alcohol. He voluntarily gave a blood sample, which was submitted to a forensic lab on Monday, court records show. Sargent was arrested on a felony DUI charge, since he had prior DUIs, a Highway Patrol spokeswoman said. He also faces misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, driving the wrong way on a one-way road, speeding more than 21 mph over the posted speed limit, driving without a drivers license and littering. Court records show that Sargent posted bail on Monday and has a court hearing scheduled for May 26. https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/rented-lamborghini-was-going-wrong-way-near-las-vegas-report-says-2340442/
  4. Awesome thx
  5. Probably passing thru East TX in a bit and my usual spot is Country Tavern but considering mixing it up and trying something different. Thoughts on Bodacious BBQ in Longview?
  6. Wynn Nightlife has added a towering figure in the DJ world, in the sports world and the real world, to its residency lineup. DJ Diesel is Wynn’s latest superstar attraction. We also know him as NBA great Shaquille O’Neal. Find him at XS Nighclub and Encore Beach club. O’Neal is the latest headliner Wynn Nightlife’s ongoing list of star DJ, which the company has revealed on a conveyor belt of social media announcements. Previously, the company has announced The Chainsmokers, Kygo, David Guetta, Diplo and Major Lazer as resident DJ headliners. Shaq-as-DJ Diesel has headlined over the past few years at Vegas dayclubs, including Alexxa at Paris Las Vegas (in which he is a business partner), the late Rehab at Hard Rock Hotel, Omnia Nighclub at Caesars Palace, and Encore Beach Club. His headlining appearance at the Wynn pool party was chronicled in the two-part series “Shaq Life” on TNT in April 2020. “When it comes to this DJ thing, I’m in the hole,” he says in the series. “Let’s say I get $20,000 a show. You know how much a plane costs? $50,000. Now I’m in the hole $30,000. So I ain’t doing it for money. It’s my adrenaline boost.” The nightlife announcement is the latest in Wynn/Encore’s efforts to return live entertainment to the resort. https://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/entertainment-columns/kats/shaq-aka-dj-diesel-to-headline-for-wynn-nighlife-2339413/
  7. Good trip report. Hearing that Resorts World will have a poker room when they open up this summer. Will be interesting to see how it is.
  8. More show announcements . . .
  9. Yep. Apparently not available if you booked same day reservation. But otherwise should be easy, from the website: Check-in using your Caesars Rewards Mobile App or one of our lobby kiosks.
  10. Buffets likely to come back
  11. It’s just about back to pre-Covid levels on the weekends. Pretty jammed this weekend from reports.
  12. Missed this earlier:
  13. Watch lady strikes again: A Las Vegas woman accused of stealing luxury watches from men she met on the Las Vegas Strip has been arrested again in another theft of a high-end timepiece. Windy Jones, 23, was taken into custody by Las Vegas police on Wednesday. Her latest arrest stems from a man’s contention that Jones stole his Rolex watch, worth $45,000, during a night of drinking on March 31. An arrest report for Jones said the man met a woman named “Sarah” at a cafe inside the Wynn Las Vegas, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. S., at 2:30 a.m. The woman said she wanted to have a drink, so they had cocktails, then took a cab to a hookah lounge on South Paradise Road where they drank more cocktails. “From there (he) stated he could not remember much from that point forward,” police said. “He then remembers waking up at the Venetian hotel valet area where security was able to assist him and called medical to assist and transport to an unknown hospital.” The man eventually realized his watch was gone. He told police that the woman was insistent on drinking alcohol that night. He suspects she spiked his drink when he went to use the restroom. Police said they identified Jones as a suspect using security footage from the Wynn. She was observed on camera with a purse that police said she was in possession of at the time of her arrest. She also was identified because she has unique tattoos, police said. This is the third luxury watch theft of which Jones has been accused. In February and March two men reported to police the thefts of watches from their hotel rooms at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in separate incidents. One watch was valued at $45,000. The second was valued at $37,000. In the first case, police were called on Feb. 21 by Cosmopolitan security to the hotel for a man reporting he was “the victim of a grand larceny and possibly being drugged,” police wrote in an arrest report for Jones. The man told police he met a woman named “Rosa” inside the Cosmopolitan near the Vesper bar at the property. He then went to his room with the woman, and they drank margaritas. The man said “he does not remember much of the night due to falling asleep shortly after finishing his margarita,” police said. The man also told police “Rosa may have drugged him.” He awoke the next morning to find $1,500 in cash missing from his wallet. His Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch worth $37,000 also was gone. In the second case, a man told police that on March 24 he met a woman on the Cosmopolitan casino floor. He invited her to his room and ordered room service. He awoke the next day to find his Rolex Daytona watch worth $45,000 and iPhone 12 missing. He also told police he may have been drugged. Jones was arrested in the first two cases by Las Vegas police on April 4. She declined to talk to investigators and asked for a lawyer. In each of the three cases she now faces a single count of felony grand larceny. https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/woman-accused-of-stealing-watches-from-men-on-strip-arrested-again-2336787/
  14. Don’t think so. Wynn has tried to keep pricing up as best they can to allow for a decent customer experience. I haven’t seen any info yet regarding room rate adjustments for Venetian/Palazzo due to the sale. And as you know, the rooms are nice at Venetian/Palazzo. Sometimes pricing dips during a remodel.
  15. My guess is sometime in June. At this point that is the timeline goal to open things back up 100%, based on some vaccine benchmarks/goals. Tentative schedules may be announced soon.
