I'll continue with my choice to stay at home and avoid social gatherings for now, especially since I often come into contact with people in groups deemed more vulnerable. I nevertheless respect others' choices to approach life differently.
I think the issue is that casinos are such crowded places with people from all over the world. And I would also say that since there is drinking involved and a bit of an anything goes attitude in Vegas anyway, it could really be a recipe for disaster. And I don't spend hours in a grocery store but I sure do in a casino! I can't believe that Cosmo has done nothing as far as safety....at least Caesar and MGM have made some efforts with plexiglass and sanitizer everywhere and promising to wipe down surfaces constantly. If I were to go to Vegas now...I would have to drive which does not appeal to me at all and even though I love gambling at Cosmo, I would not step foot in there.
