We did NOT feel comfortable sitting in their restaurant, unmasked, with other unmasked patrons. So we left El Cortez and went to another casino. Our plan was to do take out and then come back the rest of our trip to gamble since we like the place. Well, El Cortez has lost our business all for the silly in room dining rule.
I suggest it may have had something to do with tipping. At a Strip hotel where seating in their restaurants was very tight due to the Governor's restrictions I was told I could order "anything" from one of their restaurants through In-room Dining, brought to the room, charge it to the room, etc. When I tried this, the In-room Dining person said sorry but they couldn't do that, something contractual having to do with the server/gratuity side of things.
And, yes, places at home as well as Vegas have trimmed their menus due to Covid, often resulting in my favorite entrees not being available right now. Brisket tacos at Saltgrass comes to mind. I don't understand it, but that's the way it is. Bummer.
