What happens if I come to Vegas when they open and I get corona during my stay? Do I quarantine in my room or will I be forced to go elsewhere? Will I get a special room rate? I have seen nothing about this. I normally stay at Bellagio.
All good questions -- to which we don't have all the answers. But we do know a few things preliminarily.
Last Wednesday, the day after Governor Steve Sisolak announced the start of Phase 2, the Gaming Control Board issued instructions concerning temperature screenings for casino patrons.
From what we understand, properties with more than 200 rooms must have thermal cameras that take guests' temperatures upon entering. If they register 100.4 or above, they’ll have 15 minutes "to cool down" before being retesting. If they fail again, they’ll be asked to go to the secondary screening area. Medical professionals will monitor basic vital signs, consult with a tele-health provider, collect a lab sample if recommended by the provider, and transfer the guest either to a quarantine hotel or hospital if medically needed.
The "quarantine hotel" part seems to begin to answer your question. At a tele-conference with seven health-care professionals last Tuesday just before Sisolak's announcement, it was revealed that Gaming Control was "preparing to accommodate tourists who show up in Las Vegas, show signs of being infected, and are turned away by resorts."
Apparently, 10 non-gaming hotels are being set up to quarantine infected guests. We don't which properties, nor do we know how much they'll be charging for the duration of the quarantined stay. No details have been issued since the initial revelation of the quarantine properties.
But we'll certainly keep an eye on developments and let you know (mostly via Vegas News on the home page) if/when we learn anything more.
