Another report from a different Casino one day after the ordinance went into affect. This ordinance was DOA and I am quickly losing hope:

Sounds like a similar experience that I had. I was so turned off by it and constantly asked myself, “What the hell am I doing here?”

They didn’t have the temperature check at that time, but the mandate to wear a face mask was in place and mine was in the car. So I had to go back and get it because security was making people wait for a fresh supply. You know how patient I am. lol

As soon as I walked into the casino, passed the security check point, I noticed (and I am not exaggerating) that maybe 10% of the patrons were wearing their face masks. A woman started talking to me, not even standing 6 feet away, while I was waiting at one of the very few open bars for my drink.

There was no live band, just two mediocre deejays on opposite sides of the main floor, which was the only section that was open. The place still reeked of cigarette smoke and people were giving me dirty looks when I had the mask on and when I didn’t. I felt as though some people (mainly Trumpers) were pissed off to see another Hispanic out and about, while others may have been angry to see anyone wearing a mask since COVID-19 is supposedly a “fake disease”. The carpet runner was replaced with brown packaging paper that was taped down. How weird!

I had one drink, sat next to one of the deejays on a window ledge (there was no place to sit, except in front of a slot machine or one of the few blackjack tables open) and left!

I disinfected myself like there was no tomorrow...because there may not be.
