After more than 70 days of locked resorts, shuttered restaurants and a deserted Las Vegas Boulevard, Vegas is back. But it won't look like the destination many know and love.
Detailed housekeeping checklists. Half-empty casinos. Reservations-only dining. No shows, nightclubs or sporting events. These are just some of the realities that travelers can expect when Las Vegas reopens for tourist traffic today.Like much of the country, the city effectively has been shut down to visitors since mid-March, an effort on the part of casino companies and local officials to slow the spread of Covid-19.
Without question, the most important aspect of reopening Las Vegas is reopening the hotels — people who are visiting from outside the city obviously need places to stay. At last check there were roughly 150,000 hotel rooms around the Las Vegas Valley; only a fraction of these will open right away. "None of us has any idea what demand is going to be," he said, noting that resorts and hotels that aren't opening right away likely are taking reservations for stays starting July 1."We're starting slowly and will gradually go from there."
Two other pluses: Many hotels will roll out keyless entry programs to minimize queues at the check-in desk, and most will reopen with free parking — a longtime Vegas amenity that gradually disappeared over the course of the last two years. CNN's Richard Quest goes inside the Four Seasons Hotel New York to see what steps they are taking to keep guests healthy during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sure, the casino floor will still have your favorite games. Yes, there still will be opportunities to rake in jackpots. Odds will not change. "You'll still be able to play your favorite games in the casinos, but the scene will be different," said Broome, from Caesars."Safety is our No. 1 priority, and we're going to do whatever we have to do keep it that way."
To make potential visitors even more comfortable, some casinos were considering adding plexiglass and acrylic barriers to certain table games to protect dealers from players and players from each other. Other dramatic changes at restaurants around town will include masked servers, disposable menus, and, at least at some eateries, utensil-and-napkin set-ups that are wrapped in plastic and certified to be clean.
