I got mask-shamed tonight. It was by a nasty old man in a scooter. It's okay though. Amid all the expletives, he called me a millennial. My take was that the mask makes me look younger. Always find the positives in life.

I fail to see how any event that inconveniences workers and tourists for months like this is worth it in the big picture. Millions of tourists will remember this as their last Las Vegas Strip experience before this is all over. What if they don't return because of it?

Now that the I-15 nightmare is mostly over, I hope California realizes that it's imperative that a modern highway be built between Barstow and Primm. Its use goes far beyond people visiting Las Vegas. It's now a major trade route. That rural highway is obsolete and unsafe.

There are many reasons why I feel the A's stadium proposal is a bad deal for Las Vegas. Here is some of the math behind my opinion. Thank you to @TheNVIndy for publishing my op-ed on it.

A’s stadium math doesn’t add up - The Nevada Independent

Clark County should not lose $500 million for a baseball stadium with marginal tourism impact when private investors can back the idea.

I read the A's stadium bill. A few observations: - Passing this bill without the lease is insane. It leaves the door open for ripoff schemes. - Homelessness fund is pure PR nonsense. It is literally on the bottom line of how funds are spent, below one that can be infinity. 1/4

The people saying they will not visit Las Vegas due to mask rule have few other gaming options. Are they going to Deadwood, staying home, or coming to LV anyway? We're safer for it and LV is more inviting to the significant majority that support mask usage. This isn't a negative.

Casinos holding out for $15 players on an empty craps table, as opposed to trying to get it off the ground for $10 and grandfathering a few players in later, is a new trend that does not make any sense to me. The jump from $10 to $15 when accounting for line odds is huge.

Kristina and I are at the Carousel Bar opening. Here is a before and after shot from about the same spot. We'll have videos on our YouTube channel later today:

The weather is great. I decided to take a long walk today. I started at Plaza and walking to Mandalay Bay and back.

At the end of our day, we stopped at Casino Royale. A call drink and 805 draft are $5 each. That's cheaper than most locals joints.

I thought 2020 needed a SkyJump @stratvegas crazy day in it. Because, why not?

I hit a sequential royal. Since it was on my home Joker Poker machine, all I won was a song. It's only my second royal on this machine since Plaza gave it to me in November 2019.

I have seen some ugly customer reactions to being told to put masks back on. Some claim 'I'm smoking" as they walk around with an unlit cig in hand, or argue back about rule. A couple have made a big political theater out of it. I feel for casino security putting up with this.

This week feels like the bottom for Las Vegas tourist areas. This is as dead as I have ever seen it. Nights look like afternoons, afternoons look like 4am on a Tuesday. Tourism is nearly nonexistent this week. It can only get better from here, and it will. We're almost there.

Slots A Fun is even sadder than usual. The entire back is empty now. The bar is walled off. The former restaurant space is, too.

Congratulations to O'Sheas for becoming the first Las Vegas casino to deal 000 as its only version of roulette.

This rumor has been floating around for a while. Imagine losing tons of business because of the construction, only to be told you must pay millions to the cause of it to receive the promised benefit.

Las Vegas hotspots are waving the red flag at Formula One — claiming its executives are threatening to block views of the posh car race unless they fork over millions of dollars in fees.

Why do Las Vegas Strip casinos keep making the odds worse and raising minimum bets, fees, and hotel rates? People keep playing bad games and paying higher prices. There is no motivation to operate differently.

The Raiders pay almost no taxes and there is no live entertainment tax on pro sports in NV, so the $128 million tax statement is suspect. If it is accurate, it hasn't even covered the interest on the bonds Clark County issued to pay its share, which is about $30 million a year.

Allegiant Stadium has generated a $2.29B economic impact for Las Vegas, including $128 million in tax revenue, per the Raiders. #vegas #raiders #RaiderNation

I'm writing about closed Las Vegas poker rooms. The bad news is that 39 have closed since 2012. Ten of those closed for the pandemic and never reopened. The good news is that none have closed since September 2021. There are currently 19 open Las Vegas poker rooms.

Prediction: In the next week, masks will become mandatory for all Nevada casino patrons, which by default, will make smoking temporarily banned. Table game smokers congregate in slot banks near pits plus the virus spread concerns. It is a problem with no other solution IMO.

- The bill claims $380mm but it's far more. I think this deal is in the $550mm range when accounting for property taxes and services taxpayers must provide, like police/EMS, $750mm or so w/interest. - The $90mm state repayment is below stadium renovation fund with no cap. 3/4
