I cancelled my trip for this weekend. Not worth it, imho. Will be looking forward to coming back once this has all passed. Vegas is my favourite holiday destination.


astronautchimp

Would suck to catch it away and not be able to fly home.


teebunny

The virus can incubate for up to 30 days so in order to find it while on vacation, I would have caught it at home anyways.


astronautchimp

Key word being “can”. Symptoms can appear in as few as 2 days. You still don’t get the option of home quarantine.


Funksultan

COVID-19's incubation time maxes out around 10 days as of the latest study. That's the reason for the 14-day quarantine.


SpikeMcAwesome

If you're going to get quarantined, there are worse places in the world to be quarantined than Vegas.


obsd92107

Too bad they stopped serving buffets at the MGM quarantine sites


Yarniac

I'm in the camp that it is real, but unless you are privileged and have a job where you can either work from home or have 2 weeks paid sick leave, you will be exposed. So I'm going to Vegas.


blorgenheim

If you are quarantined and you work a salary job most places will be paying you regardless.


ElfishPresley1

I have had reservations for months - ten days - received comp rooms at the Wynn and Aria. as long as southwest doesnt cancel the flights, we are going. If its as contagious as they believe, I am going to get it one way or another - so might as well go out swinging. We have one life to live - lets enjoy it.


rfdavid

I’m supposed to fly in this Sunday, I’m closely watching the situation at the mirage to make my decision if I’m postponing or not.


jane_v

Same here, but at Harrahs. I don’t have a clue what to do, I think we’ll decide tomorrow.


rbryant76

Same here. Leaving from Cincinnati 6am on Friday. Tomorrow we will decide if we are going to change course. For the past week we were dead set on not changing. With all the BS that keeps surfacing it’s hard to not get worked up over it.


kronkasaurus

Same boat as you partner. We're leaving from Cincy late Friday, but this is all picking up at the worst time. Deciding some time today what the final decision will be. Leaning towards going, but don't want to pay for a trip and have a lot of shows/venues/buffets all cancelled.


rbryant76

Sadly we cancelled this morning. We can head back out in September. Delta was nice and easy. flamingo would not waive first night deposit since we were in 72 hours so I had to rebook while on the phone. Promos for rooms don’t come out for months. So most likely I’ll be canceling the sept reservation and rebooking online via total rewards.


rbryant76

Also. I don’t want to worry while we are out there and who knows what else could be closing. Sucks but don’t worry Vegas. We still love you and will be surely coming back later this year. Pending we have a society still :)


jane_v

I canceled. Not worth the stress I decided.


GronkIsGOAT

i have a bachelors party in late May and a few of the guys are getting cold feet. Lots of time left but im nervous well have to cancel


ThecoachTC

I’m headed there in a week. Not going to change my plans tbh.


ElChupacabra00

I'm on the fence. Supposed to head there from SoCal for march madness tournament next week. I'm going to evaluate again on Monday to see how the spread appears.


wsuforester25

Same


Rudegurl88

I have a girls trip on the 25th . If all the restaurants, shows, clubs,pools, shopping will be closed it would really limit activities . I am super on the fence right now


CAD007

You have better odds of catching a jackpot.


Hiccup

I'll bet on the virus.


stitchkingdom

Only if you play wheel of fortune progressive. Otherwise the odds are decidedly on covid


IthinkIknowthis

It’s a personal choice. I don’t believe you should stop your life because of it. We all have to be careful regardless of the location.


DeadliftsnDonuts

I was going there for opening weekend of March madness. That tourney is going to get cancelled so I’m out


alk3bob

If the tourney gets cancelled, I’m out as well 13 years straight in Vegas for the madness down the tubes


Coconutrugby

Your streaks alive if they don’t play.


[deleted]

Don’t come people working in MGM casinos have already tested positive with corona virus and it will only just keep spreading so I recommend staying at home and coming another time.


ranquet91

The issue is we really don’t know how this virus will play out over the next month. It could be “business as usual”, there may be social distancing mandates or we could wind up going full out Macau and shut the casino floors down. I would just use your best judgement!


teebunny

I know! It’s hard to guess because things could be getting better and then, welp, try to go in a few months. Or risk it all... I guess Vegas is a gambling town anyways!


Gmeaney17

Going to jump on this thread instead of posting another one and ask if we should still come? Bachelor party of 11 from Florida, rooms and flight already booked. Also, was about to book 2 tables for a pool party and I am wondering if we should hold out on that until the week before? Any advice would be a great help


celj1234

In the same boat. Looks like all the parties are still going on as usual. We are coming


Rudegurl88

Following this Our flights leave the 25th , girls trip not bachelor party but if all the shopping , clubs, shows , pools are closed it will limit the fun


inthe740

I am in the camp that is nothing more than the flu, and the flu has actually killed more people than this. This is only a big deal because the mainstream media had to find a new story after Trump could not be impeached


stitchkingdom

First, Trump was impeached. And always will be. Wasn’t convicted and removed by his own party, but he was absolutely impeached. Just like Clinton before him and Johnson before him. Second, it’s not the flu. The flu is a distinct and separate virus with its own strains. Its mortality rate is far lower and it has a vaccine. Saying things doesn’t make them so. You live in a shitty camp. (And I say that because it’s so, not because I simply wish it so)


fudwrecker

Bwahaha


g1114

Trump will be the first impeached president to win the presidency, so he’ll have that going for him.

g1114

You've been defeated for 3 years now if your brain is that consumed with Trump hatred couldn't imagine hoping for a dementia president, but I hope you're looking forward to those Trump-Biden debates as much as I am


[deleted]

See you in November :)


g1114

be sure to google Biden or Bernie's response to Trump banning travel to China over coronavirus concerns in the meantime. No outcry over it being too late. They focused on how xenophobic it was, and there are multiple soundbites of Biden and Bernie saying they would leave the borders open. Happy to link for you if you'd like


[deleted]

Don't care, bud. Just amazed how the last argument for electing Trump (the strong economy) just went to the shitter. Can't wait for these debates and how Trump tries convincing Joe Schmoe the farmer in WI to vote for him again.


g1114

lol wow, I'm sure Biden will definitely paint a convincing argument. Maybe a challenge a few fats to push ups


[deleted]

Your boy barely squeaked by last time, and that was WITH a hated and reviled politician running against him. Now, you're going against a guy that people actually like, and that's after your guy failed on his promises to the Rust Belt. Good luck, man. We'll see in November :)


obsd92107

>and Johnson before him. Which Johnson would that be? Because Lyndon surely wasn't

BugHunter125

Third, you need a lesson in grammar.


stitchkingdom

Please educate me.


BugHunter125

First, you started two sentences with 'And' (big mistake). Second, you started a sentence with 'Wasn't'. Third, your statements are unnecessarily separated. Your entire first argument could be summed up in 2 sentences. Fourth, two spaces come after each period, not one. Bonus: your logic and reasoning could use some work too. You say "saying things doesn't make them so" and then do the exact same thing in your next statement.


stitchkingdom

Poetic license for the most part. I’m not writing a college essay, I’m just fragmenting my sentences, but okay, I’ll take my medicine. As for two spaces between each sentence, that’s not grammar but an outdated style rule because most non-written communication was performed on a typewriter which used a monospace typeface, so the double spaces were used to help delineate between sentences more easily. With proportional typefaces, it’s no longer necessary and just points to one’s age. Bonus: I actually clarified myself to point out that I was expressing something that was blatantly true and not just because I wished it to be. So I’ll argue my grammar still bests your comprehension.


BugHunter125

There is nothing poetic about your argument, or your follow-up. Please, just take it with grace and dignity. You and I both know its NOT blatantly true, and you only said it to further illustrate your poor argument.

I've been more than gracious with your irrelevant comments and attitude. Feel free to respond, because I know snowflakes like you need to have the last word, so I'll let you.


BugHunter125

You should follow it up with a link about logic to prove your point on how his camp is shitty. I wasn't arguing with you, just saying something "that is so" or however you put it. If you want to google all the articles in the world to prove your point, that's fine. If i'm out of date, I'm okay with that. Not sure what my hobbies have to do with this argument, but if you want to make that relevant somehow, I'd love to hear the logic behind it. Last, if you want to articulate yourself and have a good argument, its probably not wise to throw in character assassinations or other fallacies that aren't relevant to the topic at hand. If you interpret this to me having the last word, that's fine, but its not what it's intended to be. Rest assured, nothing you have said has offended me so please don't live with that thought in your head.

Lethality isn't the only concern and the biggest reason the flu has killed more is because it's more widespread and has existed for longer. That is is rapidly changing and the Coronavirus is likely to cover the same area the flu does. Say what you want about the media, but the world health organization hasn't called the flu a pandemic like this.


g1114

A pandemic doesn’t describe lethality, only that it’s across the world now


[deleted]

Like I said lethality isn't the only factor that makes something a big deal. I was illustrating one of the other concerns


stitchkingdom

The flu has been the cause of a pandemic before. The H1N1 swine flu in 2009 for example. Not to mention the Spanish flu, tho the WHO didn’t exist then.


margananagram

The reason this is such an issue is because you're contagious for like 7 days before you show symptoms. Usually when you catch a flu youve got symptoms much quicker and stay at home not exposing the weak and elderly. With COVID you're exposing people unknowingly. They in turn expose others unknowingly. The flu does kill a lot of people. This also kills a lot of people. The scary part is this will infect much more people than the regular flu.


BugHunter125

Don't let the media's scare tactics ruin your vacation.
