Just came back Tuesday. Had offers for previous play at Caesars properties. Tried Bally's first, but could not get a good offer. Stayed at Rio 2 days @ no charge w/ $75.00 food credit. Ate at VooDoo steak house on the 50th floor. Employees were all masked except the table supervisors. Customers were masked about 50 - 50 quick guess. The BAD ... buffet, sports grill, Guy Fieri, hash house-a- Go Go and Asian grill are all closed. Check-in line on Sunday was well through the casino, wait was over an hour and a half. Found a VIP line opening at 4pm (10mins), finally got my room at 4:40. Noisy neighbors at times during the day. Starbucks not open 24 hours, when it did open long lines and not worth the wait. Short line at the bar I was told or go to many options across the street. Couldn't find an available host. No issues with house keeping and told them to leave me alone and they did. All in all the casinos are ready for you money ... but the some of the other casino services are lacking or closed. Did some gaming at the Gold Coast also, seemed better but the buffet was closed. Was downtown on Sunday, seemed more open and lively in the early day. Was told that some places are having trouble getting people to come back to work specifically in the restaurant business. I'm hitting Bally's next month, see what the Strip is like. Oh YES the good ... was playing VP and got one of those difficult choices Kd 4d Qd Td Jd was dealt a flush. Took me 2 seconds to muck the 4d, that's was a $25 win ... I'm a gambler. I be soooo lucky to hit the Ad.
