better leave before the zombies get ya

Seems like a good idea. Any sick people will spread it to many others in a crowded situation like that.

Those broadcasters are cheapskate mooches, and very poor tippers. Fuk them.

In better news: I just booked my flights to Vegas for July and they were dirt cheap!

It’s too far in advance. This could be over by that point. I can’t see it

But right now all these event organizers are trying to limit liability. They can't risk getting hit w/ massive lawsuits if lots of attendees get sick/die.


WSOP is the World Series of Poker running from May 26 to July 15, 2020

I'm hearing she knew she was sick and flew here anyways.

Event was to "celebrate the achievements of black women with fellow female professionals."

Donna Brazile was a speaker at the event: here is a shot of the people who were there...

The biggest scandal in Las Vegas is the lack of coronavirus testing that's been going on for the past several weeks.

Local news media has basically ignored it.

If there's one city that should have all the tests it needs, it's Vegas, which gets thousands of international tourists every week.

Yet, according to multiple sources in the local medical community, dozens of suspected cases have gone untested since January.

Unbelievable.

Uncle Intel - UNLV Meeting today to figure out how to cancel college classes for the rest of the year.

Trump also just cancelled his trip to Vegas.

I live in Vegas. The casino bosses run this city. I have no doubt the Clark county health department is getting paid NOT to test people. The newspapers won't report anything.

Holy fuck my company is there for the show!

Yep no doubt, and that stupid African guy they have running the health district that can barley speak english doesn't help.

But pretty soon there is nothing they can do I mean fuck with all these conventions cancelling, all the lost sports book revenue now that the NBA has cancelled the season, and all the people cancelling spring break trips the city is going to be hurting bad for a long time!

Fucking sucks but Vegas is going to be feeling the economic pain big time!

I am in the Trade Show Industry, Big Shows all over the Country are canceling left and right.
The Domino effect is going to be huge.

What company?

YEs! Trade show industry here is panicking! Vegas was in the process of expanding the main convention center and building two other huge ones at MGM and caesers.

Now it's looking like the industry is fucked

Clark County Health District used to be run by Mr. Sand. He had his head in the sand, so his name was a good fit. Got a couple of his nurses fired for blatant incompetence.

Health District has always been a total joke. They make you watch a bunch of old movies, actually just clips of them, to get your official health card. That way you can work in any area of food & beverage, after your TB test. Scam to give extra money to Clark County.

guess im fucked then

:jusflu:

Its so slow roundtrip fares both ways to Las Vegas are under$50 right now for the weekend. Example Denver to vegas and back fri-mon is $43 round trip!

Most resort hotels range from $32 to $159 a night, last minute. Thats dirt cheap. Paris is about $80

Anyone know if NFL draft is canceled?

Retarded

Might as well be

Every other retard did

Governor just declared state of emergency!

Haha, to my credit, I called this a week ago:

Thread: NAB Show in Vegas still on...for now

Not that a drunken monkey couldn't have seen that one coming!

Cheers OP!

As a statement on NAB conventioneers? Yeah, that's fair LOL.

I say that as someone who went for over a decade...

Not yet, but I didnt notice the stage being built yet. That would be 500k people...
