Wynn Resorts Chief Executive Officer Matt Maddox on Sunday called on the Nevada governor to begin to reopen the Las Vegas Strip in mid- to late May with extensive safety measures in place, assuming the state is in line with certain benchmarks around the spread of the coronavirus.

REUTERS/Shannon Stapletonpublished on the Nevada Independent news website, Maddox said Governor Steve Sisolak should reopen parts of the local economy in early May.

Sisolak ordered all casinos and other nonessential businesses in the state to close for 30 days beginning March 18. He extended that order until April 30, and last week said he has no specific date for when nonessential businesses might be allowed to reopen. Wynn’s Macau casinos reopened on Feb. 20 after a mandatory, industry-wide two-week closure. It and other casinos resumed operations with government-mandated restrictions that include temperature checks, fewer open tables on the casino floor, and rules against guests standing or congregating.

Hypothetically speaking, how long does it take to **rid traces of evidence of spirts betting rigging collusion and-or VegasShooting collusion becole covid collusion to **? Asking for a friend; like, you know, on a bet.......

Nobody’s going to a germy casino with germy chips, germy cards, germy dice and germy slots to lose money to rich, greedy fat cat casino owners. Nope. Not gonna happen...

All Wynn seems to care about is $$$$$$$!!!!

Good. To. Know

Okay open your casino. But you have to work the roulette wheel and touch all the chips after each spin.

Well I mean if he says so... NO!

Does going to Vegas with those kinds of precautions and restrictions in place sound...like...even remotely fun?

People- Steve Wynn is retired and lives in Florida. He is no longer part of the board. Wynn opened up in Macau after they shut down and has had a successful run. Wynn is paying wages to all their employees during the shut down.

Bad idea!

I can imagine the flights will be packed with people waiting to cram themselves into a row of crowded slot machines whilst breathing recirculated air

Yes please!

STEVE WYNN Expected to greet every customer in person...8hrs a day x 1 month

How to buy on this and them sell hard as in short $WYNN Hmmm

It is all about the Benjamins. What he should be doing is securing COVID-19 test for folks before advocating for reopening. Reckless

They don’t give a shit about the employees

Bad idea.

I see this working. 5 out of 6 slots covered with heavy tarps. But nobody remembers to balance the algorithm for less players. 💸💸💸💸💸💸💰 (sarcasm seriously intended)

Will the hookers be tested for COVID19 ? Asking for a friend realDonaldTrump

THERE IS NO RESOLVE.

We all have to look hard and close to those calling for a reopening. And, we might all see, most are those that would PROFIT OFF OF OUR RISK AND DEMISE.

WynnLasVegas , you better wait and see how the progress goes with trying to control the virus or you will be closed the rest of the year and screwed even worse.

That’s a disaster in the making. People from all over the world getting together to swap germs. You’re all gonna die.

CEO should be on front lines with all his relatives then.

I might support that idea -- if Steve Wynn is required to stand in the lobby & shake hands with every guest who enters.

He is the mafia boss now ?
