lol i iive in las Vegas and yea a lot more people out . Also casinos are open but tons health stuff. But yeah its a casino they need our money lol
Maybe they don't value their lives?? Or its just they don't have any other choices.
Casinos need your money and the country are expecting that the economy will recover thru casinos again that is why they re-opened it.

The country cannot hope for economic recovery thanks to the operation of casinos. Tax revenue from casinos is very small compared to industry, mining, the financial sector, it, and so on.
Therefore, the authorities opening Las Vegas decided to give people a chance to relax and unwind. And of course, they gave casinos and hotels the opportunity to earn a little extra money.


For sure this is not valid to Nevada State since tax revenues are an amount nearly 1,5 BILLION of USD (around 38.9 %)

I am not really sure they are opening to " give people a chance to relax and unwind" since close of half of the total revenues of Nevada arrive from gambling industry and related activities...
