We went to a casino in Shreveport last week. Talk about spotless and disinfected, that place has never been that clean. They take extraordinary measures to protect their customers. To enter the casino you walk to this desk with this “guy” looking at you, he measures your temperature from 8 feet away. The light turns green and you can enter the walkway to the gaming floors. That’s Jerry on the left. The casino employees were very strict about making sure the robot got a good look at you. You pull your mask down as you approach. You must wear your mask at all times when you are not in your room. In the hotel we broke a seal on our room’s door that said the room had been sterilized. They do not clean your room until you check out. If you need fresh towels they will bring them to you. The few restaurants that were open cleaned every surface constantly. This for Alphabet August’s Y for “You”. 😊
This is a very interesting photo Lou Ann. The nearest I have ever been to a casino is on the sea front in Blackpool in the entertainment arcade with the kids. Slot machines & such like. This looks a whole lot more grown up...I would be nervous going in there I think...silly I know. Love your story here & glad they are being so careful. Have a wonderful time & I hope you break the bank!!
@happypat there were quite a few people on the gaming floors. I just realized we were the only customers in this photo. For some reason in Louisiana casinos have to be built on water. This one, the Golden Horseshoe, is on the Red River, the long hall behind Jerry is over land to the river, taking you to the casino. Such silly gaming laws there. It’s quite a storied casino, owned by the Caesar’s conglomerate out of Las Vegas now. We actually came home with more money than we left with so we did win!
@louannwarren What fun!! Well done on your winnings! I had a girl from Canada once who stayed with us on a farm exchange. She used to regularly take her elderly mum on holiday for a few days to play the casinos ....I couldn’t het over it as on the whole casinos aren’t that popular in the UK as far as I know.
Wow- it looks so empty! I'll take your word for it that there were people gambling. I guess it's essential or they wouldn't be open! That's an interesting measuring contraption- most of the places here were using the thermometer guns. Glad to hear you won- most people don't!
That is all real encouraging to hear - makes you comfortable about leaving your own protected environment and having some fun. Keep safe with this incoming storm.
