And the offers started rolling in....

So in May when the governor of nevada announced when the casinos and resorts could reopen I started to get a flood of vacation offers. Offers that were very very tempting to a poker dog. And I signed up for a whole bunch of them even if I wasn't sure if I was going to use them.

That's how it works when you lose a bunch of money in their casinos. Good job. :hoops:

A few random things that I forgot to add...

The governor of Nevada has set the occupancy of hotels at 50%. During the weekdays both hotels at I'm staying at have been under 20%. Weekends look to be at the 50%. Me no like 50%.

In this situation (safety-conscious), I'm guessing it's not so much % of occupancy, as it is overall casino traffic. As you know, there's lot of transient (gamblers) traffic out there.

2 questions:

1) Are the casinos still mostly smoking-friendly? You smoke, correct?

2) How do they handle social distancing at the poker/blackjack tables?
 
Where’s @illmatic99 and all of his condescending, better than thou, posts condemning any trips like this???
Alot of people laid into ABM for his trip to Portland to visit family which is more legit than a vaca to vegas, but those hypocrites wont talk to you like sly like they did ABM.

I didn't know he was going on a trip. It's really not a good idea. Think everyone knows the risks of traveling right now.

In @SlyPokerDog's defense, he's really going at this trip incredibly methodically. Kinda amazing, actually.

He's posted his process and pics throughout this thread.

Be safe out there.

I get drive-by hits on many different threads.....and you probably giggle like a little school girl. But, hey. ;)

Oh, and again, you've chosen not to answer my couple of questions from today, The ones about if the casinos are still smoker-friendly, and how they're handling social distancing card playing?

BTW, you're fortunate that you can go to a casino. Some churches in Nevada aren't so fortunate as it pertains to percentages of patrons.

You and @Orion Bailey have both made accusations that multiple people mistreated and insulted you when you said you were going on vacation to Utah. I've read the thread a few times and I'm not seeing it. And honestly more people have told me not to go on vacation then said anything to you.

The vast majority of poker rooms are closed. Blackjack is either limit to 4 players and/or have plastic dividers protecting players and the dealer.

Smoking, as far as I know there is still smoking allowed in most casinos but they have expanded their non smoking areas. All of the major hotel rooms are smoke free.

I vape when I drink. I don't drink often.

I think the reactions he is speaking off came mostly afterward per say in the testing positive thread and the theater thread after he said he was going to the theater even though he was positive. I would have to look though.

You missed it. I've gotten jabs on the trip/COVID/movie in a bunch of other non-related threads. Not gonna go look it all up, though. I've simply learned to accept that my support of Trump spills out into many various subjects, manners, and ways that folks here interact with me. Is what it is.

But, hey, the movie today was GREAT!!

Yes but that's very different.

I agree. Most of that was in response to him going to theater while still positive.

Which come on @ABM you announce on a public forum you have covid then a week and half later your going to a movie. That is going to get a response. You knew that.

Too, Sly has gotten more pre-vacation shit than you did. You didn't get any till you came back for the most part.

If Sly comes back with Covid he will get shit too.
 
My wife took my kid to Minnesota for college - flew Delta because the promised an empty middle seat, made sure they had face masks + shields, the spent some time buying stuff for MN winters, got 2 hours to help the kid get into the dorms - and the kids got a Covid test when arrived, are supposed to stay quarantined there for 2 weeks and will get another one. The wife quarantined away for a week after she came back and took a Covid test (negative), waited 3 more days to ensure no symptoms and came back.

So far, so good. Covid tests are not 100% accurate, so can't be certain, but it seems fine.

Fair enough. As I had mentioned, too, Sly has done a TON of COVID-related research for this trip! I'm really, really proud of my boy.

Folks railed into me for going to a movie right after testing positive for COVID. That wasn't the case, though. I probably contracted it on August 13th or 14th. I tested positive on August 20th. I quarantined until I was given the so-called clean bill of health by the state of Tennessee on August 31st. I went back and re-tested on September 1st, and was found to be positive a few days later. But, the state told me I would probably test positive for the next 3 months. They encouraged me to go enjoy the movie (yesterday), which I did. Masks, social distancing, washing of face/hands still apply.

One of my larger questions was, if I followed all the rules, was then declared COVID-free (so to speak) by the state, then what makes me any different than, say, Sly, (or anyone else) when if comes to "safely" going out, etc.? OK, the many of you might reply, "BECAUSE SLY NEVER GOT COVID, STUPID!!"

OK, I understand that response, but the fact still remains, I followed all the post-infection rules and was ruled to be OK to fly. I ain't sittin' in my home for 3 months.
 
Be advised...the second wave of this virus is hitting Europe hard now after lifting restrictions......some places with 3000 cases per day....for people like me with heart disease, this will keep us from being able to go anywhere even longer unfortunately. It's about keeping others safe, not about your own reckless choices. Second wave will hit us as the weather cools down
The infection rate in Europe after relaxing is 3 times more than the strongest wave to hit the US so far and the virus has had time to mutate..be smart, be patient, stay home

Well, we will see if Sly gets Covid. Hopefully not. The reason you were getting so much shit is prior to your trip you supported and echoed the sentiments of someone who treated covid like a joke and didn't take it seriously.

Glad you were taking it seriously on your trip and only got a mild case. The other piece is going to a movie a week and a half after getting a positive test. Modt of us here would probably elect to stay home even if we were told it was safe by a nurse and watch movies on demand, taking extra precaution for another week or 2, not just for ourselves but for the public.

I get wanting to get back out and especially going to see a movie. Before Covid going to the theater was one of my favorite pastimes. I miss the experience, as over priced as it is.

I get the nurse said your safe even though your positive. I get that if she said your positive and still contagious you probably wouldn't have gone.

Either way its a crapshoot man
