  Check out the Las Vegas Strip, without the 42 million visitors

   

  TimeLine: Las Vegas March 26, 2020, 1:11 PM PDT

  As a means of comparison, this image shows a Las Vegas New Year celebration. More than 300,000 people pack the Las Vegas Strip for the annual festivities. (Las Vegas News Bureau)

  The Bellagio Fountains have stopped dancing. The Venetian's gondolas are docked and empty. The Welcome to Las Vegas sign welcomes far fewer visitors, and urges them to spread out 6 feet apart. Electronic signs at casinos tell you to wash your hands instead of touting headliner shows.

  Coronavirus and casinos: How long can Las Vegas companies survive a shutdown?

  LAS VEGAS – The spread of COVID-19 and subsequent shutdown of casinos across the USA is putting the cash reserves of major resort companies in Sin City to the test.

  Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak ordered a 30-day closure for all businesses, turning the Strip – home of some of the most iconic hotel-casinos in the world – into a ghost town.

  As the pandemic expands and the number of cases accelerates, there's no telling whether the lockdown will be extended in coming days and weeks, and that element of the unknown raises an important question within this tourist-dependent corridor:

  Thanks for posting this Edessaknight. ('Ghost Town').

  Looks like something out of a Sci-fi movie.

  It also looks like the intersection of the Strip and Flamingo the first night Sheriff Lamb wasn't in office anymore 

  

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.
