I would estimate that the total payroll weekly for the MGM operations would be roughly $62,500,000.00 dollars.  Taking the amount of employees that they have, the average salary paycheck per week and figuring some of the benefits that they have to float as well and the payroll taxes.

That's probably a good mean average of $60 to $80 million dollars a week.

Paid salaried employees are now turning into furloughed employees. Which basically means they'll keep most of their benefits but no pay checks, as they will or did when they were were just laid off.

In June sometime if this is not straightned out, all benefits will be canceled for virtually all of their employees as well. That will really be the breaking point for the casino, brick-and-mortar industry.

Actually, what you said a few years ago is exactly what happened to the strip today. I hereby award you an A+ in prediction.!

Just what the Vegas Strip is going to want, a huge mega resort featuring Chinese food if they ever do open. 

If dreams can come true so can nightmares. Resorts World just might want to be thinking about if it was such a good choice in the very beginning:

"Resorts World President Scott Sibella, a veteran casino executive and former president and CEO of the MGM Grand, is no stranger to challenges. But Resorts World is the biggest and most expensive project he has worked on."

As most of the world already suspected:

Paper thin rice paper wrap. It's pretty much a staple at most of the southeast restaurants and the takeout places they make different variations of it. Most of the larger cities.

I would never go back to fried egg rolls but of course half of my family is Southeast Asian and they normally go for the rice paper wraps anyway.

Can I please interject here and just give my opinion?

That is, it is beatable, but it can also beat you.

The highest majority, not all but the highest majority of all players will not capitalize on the opportunities that are being presented by the shoe and then when they do they are so convinced  that's how they can beat it

Then the Dominos fall for the rest of the shoe or the following shoe, if you get what I mean.

Hanging out.  Snack time!  Yes, it is good.

Super Fresh spring rolls we just made, avocado, shrimp and a little bit of spice inside of it!

Good background for start of some of your research, for those curious as to where past Pandemics came from or how they came about.   

Same as in gambling, reality is reality.

How Caesar's Palace Casino closed down in Las Vegas and what they did while they were closing down. Click on the link, good article for informational purposes.

"We didn't have a manual on how to close the casino in Las Vegas. That's not something we ever anticipated ever needing to do," McBurney said, adding, "we quickly moved to take the cash out of the slot machines, deposit to the cage. Take the cash out of the cage and deposit it into the bank. Cose the restaurants. Close the hotels and look at our inventories."
