The M Resort in Henderson laid off 159 staff members on Monday.

This isn't really bad news...these folks can just buy a couple homes or 15 airbnb properties in the area and become instant millionaires.

I've been coming here for 25 years and I can't remember seeing this many closed businesses in Little Saigon.

Once again tho, if they were able to salvage something before closing something, they can become airbnb investors and surpass Steve Wynn's wealth in a few years.

My take the last couple of days ..

Its obvious how many have been laid off. Shops, restaurants , shows , bars out of play .. No one basically at the tables..

Last night , probably not 15 cars in Westgate Sportsbook parking lot. Night before , SP lots less than half full. Anyone familiar with the SP , those lots are mostly full year around..

Flying in Fri to collect Circa contest winnings. Hearing that most places are ghost towns right now. Lack of international play has to be devastating to table game bottom lines.

On plane right now drove to jfk early Am airport was a ghost town until I got through security zero wait . Plane is packed no covid rules anymore all seats pretty much taken. Landing few hours will update later.

They did a very nice job with the Circa sportsbook. I wish them well, but downtown still is just too dumpy. Maybe over time a lot of the older downtown casinos will be demolished. I used to like Binion's, but currently, it's more of a dump than Jerry's Nugget.

For guys coming here only or mostly to bet sports, Circa should be given top consideration. At least have a look at it during your next Vegas trip. If you don't want to pay Circa's rates, there are plenty of more affordable options within walking distance.

The strip just looks strange with so few people walking around at all hours.

In other news, as previously announced, I wonder what the total number of layoffs will be at Wynn? They'll likely follow thru with previously announced plans to layoff employees on Monday, January 11th.

Betting futures , Circa is 2nd to none. I'd say at least 60% of my future wagers are made there.. Westgate a decent amount. WH at times.. Waste of time to look at GN , TI , Wynn , and for the most part MGM...

It is an awsome setup there.

Just got in room at aria. Airport was quiet not dead. They took my temp walking in aria checked in barely a wait. Definitely more of a ghetto crowd so far. Normally 15-20 min cab was about 10 min strip deserted will update later . The sportsbook here is not well thought out but the pizza and brew make up for it.

Charlestown casino in WV seemed to have the same crowd when I went a few Tuesdays ago. Less tables were open but still a decent crowd

Last night casino and strip got fairly busy a lot of people rolled in. Called restaurant at 715 made a reservation for 730. I assume tonight will be more of a wait . As body of life pointed out you need a reservation to eat anywhere. Bummed about money line pizza at aria you can’t eat there now take out only . Poker room was packed my son who plays got in a 1-3 just observing from outside the plexiglass set up is fucking nuts. Talk about bubble boy best way to describe sitting next to someone at the table is like visiting someone in jail behind glass. No thanks not like that at table games or slots. Well good luck today I’m going to just relax and bet football
