Las Vegas Strip Nearly Abandoned Amid Coronavirus Shutdowns

The normally bustling vacation hotspot for SoCal residents is all but abandoned due to hotels and casinos being shut down.

Bring back the mafia they knew how to run the city and NEVER charged for parking or resort fees!

[@alex745i5]

Russian’s own Vegas not any other cartels or mafia

"It makes no sense from my perspective," as someone who dropped science after eighth grade and became a real estate agent and then mayor.

She an idiot and need to step down if she doesn't understand the purpose of Stay At Home order during a pandemic.

[@juanpardell3068]

The Vegas mayor is off her rocker! Most people who visit Vegas are from the Southern California area. It only takes one infected tourist with the Corona virus to cause a medical crisis in Sin City. That is what she needs to consider.

[@christophertom5552]

And wouldn't it create more of a loss if the casinos open? There's no way that they'll attract huge crowds to even make it profitable after considering operating costs and such.

[@koshnaranek2317]

She is flipping crazy we should be open for business are you out of your greedy little mind lady. Tourism does not trump health and safety wait it out.

@Jasen Morganti Can't reopen the economy if everyone dies trying.

[@atomixfang]

@Jasen Morganti You cant force people to risk their life to go sight seeing either.

[@TheKratoKiller]

Tourists won’t go to Vegas if it was open

[@epramos6800]

Why disguise the workers voice?

[@tardigrade9493]

sin city

[@yepperdeedooda]

People reported about Vegas being shut down weeks ago, and showed the streets and everything. You guys are so late.

[@Thegreatestholynameofjesus]

Pray the rosary

[@alex745i5]

Why is there soo many Russian’s in Vegas now ? Ten years ago not as much

[@bk9696338]

is the resort fee still there?

[@quartytypo]

Dig up the asphalt on Las Vegas Blvd and sell chunks of it on Ebay.

[@christophertom5552]

It is kind of surreal for me to think that I was Vegas back in January, and it was bustling and busy. Now, when I watch videos like this about vegas, it's hard to believe it that it seems like a Ghost Town.

[@danc1197]

The modern Vegas is nothing more than a glorified strip mall. The real Vegas faded away in the early 90's.

Maybe these rich companies can be proactive and help fund the research that is going on to discover a vaccine instead of trying to put people at risk.

[@koban4max]

Normally, people lose against the house. Now, they lose.

[@jayjones7695]

Vegas baby!!!

[@erich84502ify]

But, the cigarette smoke smell is going away though, casinos are non-smoking?

[@thaintriguing1]

erich84502ify no they’re not

[@davebb36]

Imagine this ...... Vegas is usually open 24/7. It has not been closed in a hundred years

[@tardigrade9493]

First gambling resort in Las Vegas opened in 1946.

[@jordanking6939]

I thought this was an alternate universe because when I was at Caesars Palace (late February), I was filming police arresting a man picking up his girlfriend

[@candybroughtitup]

SHEEEESH!!!! 😥

[@paulburnett8364]

Money makes stupid demands.

[@john-paulnagel2732]

I care about The Workers But could care less of The Casino Owners

[@jillbaker5658]

Amazing

[@spazzulu3802]

In all honesty, Vegas shouldn't reopen this summer. Just a horrific business model for a global pandemic. Sorry.

[@lexbeltran1354]

Casinos are not essential businesses, therefore if you worked for one of them, you are expendable. Las Vegas depends on all those Casinos to thrive, now it's a frigging ghost town😀😀😀

[@YoniNadi]

I can’t see the strip,Fremont street getting back to a pre-coronavirus lifestyle because of the financial obligations that the unemployed casino guests will have to fulfill!

[@anthonyrokos6159]

Lol they got a clip with a dealer bet

[@mikesodders3670]

can you imagine what its going to be like people getting to wear masks and gloves? crime incooperated.. Not just in the Casinos but waiting for you when you get outside. You couldn't even wear a mask on HALLOWEEn.. now that's SPOOOOKY

[@christopherjohnson4064]

You are nuts trying to open too soon

[@jameskeeler6321]

To much over reach. Heard immunity is the only answer to our system getting re-opened.

[@jlsc4125]

If it makes no sense to the mayor, it makes no sense why she's the mayor.

[@jeffcranford5403]

How many believe that this is the coming of the Lord? I for one believe so!

[@corner559]

Worst mayor ever.

[@atomixfang]

TOURISM IS OVER FOR THE FORSEABLE FUTURE, FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. NO ONE WILL RISK GETTING PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE TO PLAY SOME SLOTS AND HIRE HOOKERS.

[@MrKosten82]

Is this real life? Lol. Insane people
