Yesterday in a few major stores, just about all the shelves are back to normal as far as inventory level except for the Lysol products once again. Of course there's lots of knock-offs  and new items in the cleaning isles, that are claiming the same thing that Lysol does if not better.

Pricing is considerably more with the majority of the everyday items, that's a done deal at this point. Which consumers drove it all up and will continue to drive it up. That's all that buying and hoarding does, is affect supply and demand with every item I've seen it is considerably more then what it used to be.

Now I noticed in most of the major stores where there are limits signs on buying certain high demand products that used to be one and two, almost all of them have moved to limit four or greater.

No more talk, no more everyday--all day media about the bare shelves, about the lack of toilet paper or ground beef or even cleaning products or anything else. They're all on to other things. No more consumer groups yelling and screaming, no more media about any any of it that I see unless you're on some obscure website or digginging down in the internet to find something about it.

Once again, congratulations people you did it to yourselves.

The following is a short recap of what I've noticed on the implemented new procedures once the casinos reopened, approximately a week and a half ago in the central Midwest. These are major casino chains with prominent and large properties.

No plexiglass barriers at table games;

Very few Plexiglas barrier slot machines and I stress very few;

Some slot machines turned off betweeneach other and other ones have signs on them saying that they're I've been disabled due to C-19 requirements;

Three or five people max at the baccarat tables depending on the property;

Three people max at the majority of the blackjack tables that I did observe walking through the casino floor;

Some casinos have the self-serve drink stations open and other casinos did not;

Cocktail waitresses had styrofoam cups at all the casinos nobody had the real glasses;

Two of the three casinos I went to had a new no-smoking policy implemented and the other one said, smoking in moderation;

Some of the players clubs were not functioning and they would not issue player cards but the pit Personnel offered to put you in the computer with your play and it would be counted towards a card, at a later date once the  players clubs reopened;

No temperature checks the way it was so hyped up about even in the midwest here;

One Casino was mandatory to sanitize hands each time you sat down or came back to the baccarat table or stepped away, the other two casinos did have hand sanitizer on top of the table, it was not mandatory to use.

Limited entrances and exits at all three of the casinos I went to, with security personnel greeting or giving everybody the once-over real quick;

At one of the casinos, you had to give your driver's license or other ID and they swiped it through their computer system. I can only assume they were checking it against some type of list of banned players and/or taking a count on who was on the property since they are limited to 50% capacity by their state governing gaming officials.

Very good thread indeed.

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.
