The pandemic is still very active. I think they'll have to close Las Vegas soon.

I doubt it. The peak incidence is presumably behind and the health care system has a large margin of safety. But with the economy, everything is much worse and most likely the second wave of quarantines and severe restrictions will be fatal for it.

At what point do you suppose the pandemic will over-run Las Vegas (or any other major US city) given you don't seem to think there is anything wrong in the US at the moment with the nearing run-away numbers of cases?

The cases are climbing there and yet gamblers and visitors keep coming. In my opinion, it will be better for them to be close again, however, I think they are balancing the problem once they close it and when they continue operating it. If its open, new cases will happen and people will die. If they close it, unemployment, hunger, etc. More problem for the economy, so they have choose. And I think people from above will choose the risk of facing the virus, as long as they are the one that are safe.

Its possible to be suspended once again if there are a lot of employee who are reported as new cases, it will be blast contract tracing for sure.

The number of infected people is increasing however if casinos get fully closed that might be the end of their business. I don't think they can survive another lock down and just imagine how many employees will then stay without a job. I think that can still continue with their business but with limited number of gamblers allowed, they should keep the distance and wear masks. Yes, that is far away from usual atmosphere in casinos but it's still better than lockdown.
