sin city's cold and empty
no one's around to judge me…
😂
Now I know that’s a lie ,Dancers sending out $200 to help people ,lol†that’s a joke them hos,putting that money in their pockets.
Vegas will never be the same. Guaranteed mass exodus. Saf but the biggest economic collapse in history is already underway.
What strange is are economy was doing incredible, I never was really but it's all I ever heard, then within weeks the government started printing money, giving 1,200 to people who never lost their jobs. I thought we were all supposed to have six months of savings, I guess that was only for poor people like me. I feel bad for the workers but I truly hate gambling, it had ruined so many lives.
Are the striped clubs and brothels still closed!?
ðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂ😂😂😂ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
Mafiosi losing bets
What the hell! No strip clubs and broths! How dare they! Lol.
Who would have thought….
I don't think this country will b the same, we will hve to do things different. I was all for the shutdown, but now think tht hurt us more than the virus.
No alcohol, no strip club, no brothel and gamely? So long Vegas lol jk..
YAAAAYY WE DOING IT BIG NOW. CITY ALL TO OURSELVES WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!
I think people just missed that they just said 80% of funding comes from gaming so it not just the casinos losing out. It understood some hate casinos but the state and city funds depend on the tourism. We need to stop making it personal and think for a minute
Our grandparents dealt with the Great Depression, our parents with WWII, I find the idea repugnant that we somehow can’t deal with this. Deal with it!
God forbid.

People = it’s just a fucking flu virus. Nothing more. Just a flu virus. WTF up
I do not feel sorry for casino’s they have been screwing people for decades , I do feel for employees
Damn it…. Strippclubs and brothels will not be open!😂🥃
My heart bleeds for the blood sucking, money hungry drug infested MAFIA who steal and profit on the misfortune of others including senior citizens all CASINOS. Keep these crooks out of business. Make America Great Again!!!
Gambling is bad. It's a ripoff of suckers. I hope every casino folds. To hell with them all. Maybe now, people will spend their money wisely.
who are we kidding…. while the average joe gets a 1,200 stimulus check a casino CEO got 5 to 10 MILLION stimulus check… Thats the reality of dirty CAPITALISM……. you steal from working class and give it to the rich….
ins't there a fairy tale that talks about the OPPOSITE!!!…..
The top 100 employers in Nevada within six miles! Ouch!
Business schools with use this as a case study for many years to come.
How do you prevent this?
How do you prepare for this?
How do you restart after this?
Many questions will need answering and many people will need to pay attention.
It’s ok Mr. House has Vegas covered
Eerie to see Vegas empty like this. We never thought in a million year that the casinos and its lot literally closed. Hate it for the employees, other than that, ain’t hating it.
Thing is. People in Nevada don't pay taxes. Why? Because the casinos bring in so much money.
When the strip shuts down and casinos shut down that's shutting down a lot of funds for the people of Vegas and also putting a lot of people out of work.
Did they vote for Trump? Stop voting republican they destroy American economy every time in the whitehouse . Republican right to work and low wages only work for the rich corporations.
Go figure?? 42 million visitors??? Sin City??? ……. Science fiction ….. default!
San diego is opening there casinos on monday

Casinos vs coronavirus? Coronavirus is going to double down and win because the 2nd wave is coming, putting casinos all over out off business. Lmao

The U.S stop doing evil things if not Karma is coming for you.

NOW DO YOU BELIEVE IN "GOD"! THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN, AND IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL SOON, BECAUSE HE'S HERE…â³⌛☠💥
It would be fitting that Las Vegas collapse economically after the helicopter gunship firing on concert crowd incident, played off like it was one crazy dude. Yeah right. I saw the videos of the helicopter gunships, and multiple big guns being fired from different vantage points coming into the crowd. Horrible atrocity perpetuated on the masses, and no real investigation. So sad. Is Ellen’s proceeds from gaming down this month? She did look pretty bummed out in her mansion.
The economic struggles are with the people that loose their money gambling
So, where is "Ace" Sam Rotstein from "Casino" and what he would do in this situation? And what did he have to do?
Wait? No liquor? Is this fucking armageddon?
Think of all of the people who have had their gambling habits (addictions) broken…
Lika 45-barge tow hitting the Vicksburg bridge
So how much have they not made
This is going to be a long recession / depression. Lots of businesses cant survive much longer
"Sense of normalcy" you damn fool you are creating that yourself by keeping businesses closed.
