Jottings<\/strong><\/em>: Nevada<\/strong> Gov. Steve Sisolak<\/strong> (D) is asking Donald Trump<\/strong> to declare the Silver State a ‘major disaster’ area. We agree, but Trump is being punitive toward ‘blue’ states so we doubt Sisolak will get his wish. The governor extended his shelter-in-place order, meaning casinos will be unable to reopen before May 1. Sisolak also activated the National Guard<\/strong> … “Spare a thought in these troubling times for the Mafia<\/strong>,” reports Casino.org<\/strong>, “whose traditional revenue streams\u2014illegal gaming and extortion\u2014have been blunted by the coronavirus crisis” … Terry Caudill<\/strong> is \"\"taking advantage of the shutdown to put in new rails and felts at the Binion’s Gambling Hall<\/strong> table games. “They look so welcoming and pretty,” enthuses Binion’s. Yes, they do … The Lights Up Las Vegas<\/strong> auto parade turned out to be more April Fool’s joke than gesture of defiance. The caravan from the south Strip to Fremont Street<\/strong> was meekly canceled last night … Electric Daisy Carnival<\/strong> is being pushed back<\/a> from May 15-17 to Oct. 2-4.

It’s down over 75% since the start of the year … Finally, a bit of good news: Wynn Resorts<\/strong> is continuing benefits for its employees (even part-timers) for an additional fortnight. Sounds like they’re prepared for the long haul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
