So, I headed to the Strip this past weekend to find out just how much things have changed since my last visit a few weeks ago, before the full reopening.
After nine years of living in Las Vegas, I’ve been there, done that, and caught the dude-bro cologne gag reflux more times than I can count.īut on June 1, the city, for all intents and purposes, fully reopened with businesses permitted to operate at 100% capacity and mask-wearing no longer required for the fully vaccinated (and everyone else because the honor system is silly). I don’t spend much time on the Strip these days unless I’m playing poker. “Okay, now my city is officially back,” I thought to myself while gagging uncontrollably. Players packed New York New York without masks on Friday June 4, 2021.
But it didn’t really feel like that until I walked by the Coyote Ugly nightclub entrance line at New York-New York on the Strip on Saturday night and caught a whiff of all the perfume and cologne.
