So what have the Chicago protests accomplished? Here, let me tell you the facts of exactly what the Chicago protests have accomplished.

billions in property damage
millions in overtime pay to cops and private security
murder and shooting rates are up 80% since the protests
arrests are down 50%

so congrats. The Chicago protesters won, because they care about society. They got less people arrested by the police. Wow. They really won! Lol
Geez it must be like a war zone again in Chiraq.

Everyone in the casino has a mask when walking around. Many do remove when sitting at a slot machine, but there are a bunch of people in gray polyester walking around telling them to put it back on. That is because the state audits businesses for compliance...nothing happens to the individual non-compliant person. I watched the riot highlights night after night and didn't see even 10% of the malcontents wearing masks as they yelled and chanted. Stupid is as stupid does and the even more ignorant are those who follow fake narratives.

The governor was on TV Friday actually begging people to comply. There is no doubt, in LV and the US, that two weeks from now there will be a spike based on holiday behavior. I don't think the casinos will shut down, but bars and restaurants might close again. Meanwhile, no one really takes the guv very seriously as he praised the demonstrators and rioters who walked the strip night after night without regard for masks/distance, he allowed construction to continue on the Raider's stadium even with many positive cases and he, himself was caught at a local bar/restaurant socializing without a mask.

I think Vegas is pretty crippled right now and, like the rest of the country, I don't see normal back anytime soon. The legislature is meeting in special session this week to figure out how to make up about $1.1b in lost revenue. They can decide to cut from the worst education system in the US, the bottom five quality rated healthcare system or the corrupt police. Could also cut from the unemployment agency who have yet to pay more than 25,000 filers due to various excuses. Most likely will beg the feds for a handout or re-establish the mob ties...perhaps a loan from the Teamsters.
My crystal ball shows a tax hike of some sort on the horizon.
