We just cut our trip to GVR short because of a lack of fun and less than stellar social distancing. We found the powers that be are not interested in maintaining safe social distancing. They could have been proactive like Caesars and started mandatory face masks before the very last minute (although they all should have started on June 4th). They left all machines on and removed chairs. They don't prevent people from moving the chairs to a machine that is next to someone they do't live with. The Sip bar had way too many people and none of them maintaining a 6-5-4-3-2 foot distance. All bars seem to let people play next to someone even though they have to stand due to the chairs having been removed. They downgraded their slot club below Golden Gaming's club. They did away with the buffet (expected), but also cut all but the late night specials from the Grand Cafe menu. They took out twenty-six of the fifty-one "up to 99.8%" machines. We probably won't ever go back. For now, we'll be gaming at the Aquarius unless we find out that Sunset or Palace Stations haven't done away with their up to 99.8 % machines and are maintaining social distancing. Aquarius shut down machines and removed the chairs to maintain social distancing. They have two no smoking sections that we can play in and not worry about social distancing or people removing their masks to kill themselves and others around them. We stopped there on our way home to Golden Valley AZ and observed an employee telling a guest to put their mask on. That wasn't happening at GVR. We really appreciated that little bit of enforecement.
