Current Events > After visiting a casino, I'd say the masks are useless in this setting.

(+) Yeah! (+)

1. People were allowed to smoke an entire cigarette with their mask off, no special smoking section
2. People just casually left their mask off while taking time to drink their drink. Only some put it back on after every sip.
3. A dealer removed her mask to sneeze
4. Quite a few people just had masks covering their mouth but not their nose.
5. A few people appeared to not have a mask at all.
6. No one appeared to be "mask policing". I guess if someone was obviously never wearing one, they would. And you have to have one to enter. But I never saw them say anything to anyone on the actual casino floor.

What's the point of wearing a mask in this setting? It seemed ridiculous. Either close everything or just let people go without a mask except in certain scenarios. It's difficult to enforce and from what I witnessed it seems a lot of people don't really want to enforce it.

Well it's not like we can tell people to wear mask because then they'll just kill for you for telling them to stop getting people sick.

Our country is sprinting backwards.

Lol and that takuya lee guy was shilling so hard about opening Nevada up lolol what a clown

A lot of these are gonna depend on the casino. The one near me has designated smoking areas / no smoking at table games. I also saw a video of a guy getting yeeted from the Wynn in Vegas because he wasn't wearing a mask.

Safe to say that your situation will be more normal than the safer ones, that's for sure, which is unfortunate. But it's the nature of the business where everything fun involves pressing a button or touching cards.

So, um, why did you stay?

That's an argument that casinos can't be safe, not that masks shouldn't be required.

Vegas is made to spread a virus like this, to do the things needed to make it safe you ruin the appeal of the city.

They can. They just aren't.

Demand that someone step away from the slots for a few moments to have a drink or smoke a cigarette, and that's a a few moments someone's not feeding money into a slot machine.

Casinos know the end is nigh, they're just farming as much money as possible before they have to declare bankruptcy

Casinos should have remained closed. The amount of people I know still going to casino day club pools is fucking insane.

This is why the stigma of online gambling needs to die.
Gamblers gonna gamble, regardless. No amount of good intentions or vice laws will stop that.

Where do they step away to and how would that be safer than having them remain where they are? Have you been to a casino?
