Yes, it looks like the nasty little virus can't keep die hard poker players away from their pastime.  Below is a link from a Pokerkraut video that was recorded this past Saturday at the 7 rooms that are now open:

He repeats a lot of the same information so I've included the times he was at the various rooms if you want to skip all the talk.

Southpoint - 3:18

Sahara - 8:00  I'm glad they changed back to the Sahara name.

Golden Nugget - 14:15

Crowds on Fremont street - 16:48

Banned blackjack counters,  and all the others who have been 86'd are rejoicing about the mask requirement.

Speaking of opening back up, it looks like Steve Wynn is starting to come out of hibernation.  On the below video he talks about some of the issues involved in reopening a hotel.

On another note, Wynn must have made an absolute fortune when he sold all of his stock in Wynn Inc. at top dollar, before the virus made the stock price tank.

The above rumor doesn't appear to be affecting the Venetian and South Point poker rooms as they have scheduled many live poker tournaments from today July 17 all the way up to August 8th.

Some of you who don't play live much might be interested in what a new Covid style poker table looks like. A good example is at the 11:32 mark on this video, bring plenty of windex:

And for you art connoisseurs some Bellagio artwork can be seen at the 2:34 mark.

Good thing to see!  Casino industry is slowly coming back and adapting with the "new" normal. With the new setup, makes me wonder what are the differences and adjustment they make.

It's very cool that real casinos have opened, it's inspiring. Even with the virus, it happened. I'm still afraid to go to such places, I don't want to endanger myself and my loved ones, so at the moment I prefer online casinos. It's much safer. Of course, this does not compare to the sensations in a real casino, where even the air smells of money. I found a great alternative to a real casino in Las Vegas. Very convenient, I downloaded the app to my phone and play from my phone. I am very lucky, I even managed to win a couple of times good money, which I will spend on vacation in Dubai. Good luck to you.
