Very good thread indeed.

The following video is for AsymBacGuy:

Remember the following?  I'll highlight part of what I wrote:

Wrote the following on the board January 17th, 2017

"As far as the Lucky Dragon, don't know much about it, just a group of investors from China got together and all invested $500k each or more for USA citizenship, etc.  They will not survive catering to the Asian crowd only from what I hear.  Although the Golden Steer Steakhouse right next door, nothing to do with the property is one of the best non-casino steak houses in Vegas!"

Then almost 1 year after i wrote the above:

"On the morning of January 4, 2018, the casino and restaurants were temporarily closed and the property announced plans to reorganize itself by hiring new firms to operate those aspects of the resort. At the time, the Lucky Dragon had more than 500 employees".

As Las Vegas reopens, fares, hotel rates tumble.

As of Thursday, Vegas is back in business

https://www.sfgate.com/travel/amp/Las-Vegas-reopens-fares-hotels-cheap-15316952.php

Played 2 shoes, took a break.  One more shoe before we go home.  Not a bad place.  Lots of action, lots of energy for sure.  Unlike other casinos we normally play at, they asked us not to take pictures.   We are up overall, will give a full report later on.

Here, in case the pic is a bit blurred when you enlarge it.

There are 5 side bets for the 5 Treasures.  All standard bac rules apply of course.

Fortune 7--Wins if the Banker has winning 3-card total of 7. Pays 40 to 1;

Golden 8--Wins if the Player has winning 3-card total of 8. Pays 25 to 1;

Heavenly 9--Wins if the Player or Banker have a three-card total of 9. Pays 75 to 1 if both do and 10 to 1 if one does;

Blazing 7s--Wins if the Player or Banker both have a total of 7 composed of the same number of cards. Pays 200 to 1 if both hands are composed of three cards and 50 to 1 if both hands are composed of two cards;

Cover All--Pays 6 to 1 if any of the four bets above win.

Sat down to play a few minutes ago and the pit is open, three tables are operating, no masks required for the players, players are taking the cards and no plexiglass sheilds. Dealers are in masks of course and they got a new kind of baccarat here called Five Treasures or 5 Fortunes, they let me take a picture of that but they said that's all I can take a picture of and I also got one from outside the pit.

About six or seven people playing so far, it's early it's before 5 p.m. and they only opened the baccarat pit a couple days ago, so they said people are slowly coming  back in.  They have the total of eight tables. For tonight and tomorrow they're going to limit it to three seats at each table and try to put five chairs back at each table in a few days. No temperature checks.

Talking a couple hours with some very experienced players after our first night at baccarat We're going to do a little bit of verbal soul-searching and talk about our money management methods and what our visions are and spell it out.

Decided to make some spring rolls, little bit of black berries and greens, here's what it looks like.  Turned out pretty good!
