Well we're on the way,  Friday afternoon we're on the way to play some baccarat for the first time in a couple of months. Place opened earlier in the week and we decided to take a ride down it's about 300 miles from us, I'll let you know what happens after a while talk to you guys later.

Playing now.  Snapped a few pics. Lots of changes.  People coming in.  Not empty but not a normal looking weekend.  At the casino slot machine area is opened  since last week table games just open this afternoon so  pit people said give it another day or two and it'll be back till almost normal. Anyway we are playing.  Dealer in mask and gloves, players must wear masks in the table games area but not slot machines and walking around the place. Some restaurants open some closed, almost all smoking not allowed when smoking was allowed at the casino. You can drink take your mask down then put your mask back. You cannot smoke at the tables I'm sitting at. Baccarat has all the spots have not changed seating, but all the other tables every other chair was taken out.

You have to disinfect your hands when you get to the table with the foam that they supply and if you leave the table and come back for whatever reason you have to disinfect your hands again basically anytime you get up and leave the table even if they see where you go like to use your phone and then you come back and you only step away 2 feet from the table you still have to disinfect your hands. Not really a big deal. Players do not have to wear gloves.

Played a shoe and a half, four and a half hours, we're getting ready to leave. Going to head back home not bad for the first time back with all the new adjustments. I won, H-Money won and the other gentleman with us unfortunately, lost. First time I played here not a bad place, PIT personnel and dealers are extremely nice, all the players, allbeit wasn't full tables in the baccarat pit, everyone got along 100%, which is kind of a real nice change from some of the places that we are used to.

The property we went to last night was a major Casino company branded property. They have about 10 billion dollars in assets, they are operating in at least 10 states (USA) that I know of and they have around 30,000 employees.

People are already asking me about the C19 protocols. Besides from what I mentioned and posted within my original post here there was no temperature scanning at the door like a lot of people thought there would be, which is supposed to be  planned for lots of Vegas properties when they open in the next few weeks.

They did limit the number of entrances and exits and there was Casino personnel and a security officer greeting each person coming in, some type of visual accessing, what they were looking for I have no idea. There was no temperature scanning that I know of unless it was done at the doorway without our knowledge.

Like I said beside from the masks required at table games only and mandatory disinfection of your hands every time you came or went or sat at the table for an extended period of time, you would never have known C-19 was going on.

No glass or partitions at the tables which is supposedly what some of the East Coast and West Coast casinos are going to do. As well, I want to reiterate it would have been hard to even know know there was a C-19 epidemic pandemic that was happening outside of the casino walls, unless you were psychologically hung up on the respirator mask you had to wear only while you were seated at the table. Maybe because of my hazardous material clean up background, I'm oblivious to PPE wear, that I've wore so much for the past 20 years that I don't think anything about it,  I don't know?  Overall I would say the first time playing after 2 and 1/2 months without a casino visit, this was a welcome surprise that wasn't as bad as I actually thought it was going to be.

Kind of what I thought, everything will be back to normal soon.  People are not going to totally stop their lives forever.
