Here's the bigger question. If the casinos reopen, will anyone come? More importantly, will enough people come to make it worthwhile for them to be open.

Casinos without buffet, without restaurants open other than fast food, no shows will be a boring visit. Visitors will more than likely opt to stay and gamble in their home state or somewhere nearby. This town will be a giant petri dish once we open. Goodluck to us all.

I assume if they're reopening, they'll reopen everything, although maybe not all at once.

I would almost guarantee a slow and careful reopening. The small businesses around the Valley will likely get turned loose early with requirements that they limit the people inside to small groups.

I expect the big places will come on at some small percent of capacity and then grow over a few months to fully open. Remember they cannot afford to ever get nailed as a den of the infection...and they will work very carefully to make sure that does not happen. So we will see small isolated groupings at restaurants and shows. Start at 25% of capacity or so and then grow upward over time.

It will be interesting to watch how they do it. Sure lots of well experienced minds are working the problems hard. Let's see what they come up with.

"Days after President Trump floated the idea that the US government could purchase five years of airline tickets in bulk as part of a stimulus package for crippled airline carriers, Boeing CEO's Dave Calhoun has warned that air travel growth might not return to pre-corona levels for years."

Restaurants that are thousands if not tens of thousands in debt in this short time and about to go under and haven’t paid their rent now have to make it back operating at max 50%. A sellout show might be 1/3 full. Not sure how this will hold up for months to come.

Restaurants in Casinos will be open in limited 20-30% capacity during Phase I. Buffets will remain closed. People have to eat somewhere. I saw Caesers is doing a 2.4M upgrade to their beautiful buffet during this time. I don't know how they could make it anymore beautiful.

MGM announced all shows cancelled through June. That's the furthest out I've seen.
