Was there three days ago. No table games. But White Castle was still open!

Tables temporarily closed, or actually gone?

I just read on this Vegas FB group that I belong to that for sure it is not opening until July 16. Mirage and Park MGM. Take that for what it's worth...random person on the internet but she said she spoke to her host. I think Paris will be open so they might try to send you there. I like the location but hotel needs a face lift and pool sucks.

Mirage and Park MGM are in the MLIFE (MGM Group) [Bellagio is open]; Paris (Caesars is open) are in Total Rewards--I doubt different systems cross-honor bookings.
I was in LAS this past weekend, I stayed at Bellagio but also "slotted" at Caesars--I think they misanticipated demand, lots of people playing slots, more Casinos will open VERY soon, IMHO.

Damn - that sucks. I am absolutely not a high roller - like early evening Blackjack with the cheapest limit and this place ticked the boxes...

Oh well, I guess there's plenty more $5 out there

You are correct....my bad. I was just looking at what was open and mixed up my groups . I came here this morning to correct my mistake but you beat me to it. Thank you.
Even when I stay at Bellagio i am not crazy about their casino so usually play at Caesar or Cosmo and I have heard conflicting reports on crowds at various places but the video I have seen of Cosmo made it look as busy as ever .

Plenty more $5 tables ? Not on the strip that I know of. I like playing low limits too...then I can play for hours. I have played $5 at Luxor at off times but getting a seat was hard.

I avoid weekends as I like a few of us to get on a table together, I’ve found:

Excalibur always midweek and earlier in the evening, usually on or two weekend until they switch to $10
NYNY now has a table committed to $5 all day everyday
LINQ in the afternoons tends to have $5
Cromwell plenty of $5 until later in the evening
Hooters always has $5 and usually a few

What I found peculiar is Flamingo never has $5 now and it’s definitely lower end...

Yes! I have seen the $5 at Cromwell but never think of that place...so low energy. Last time i was in Vegas in December we went to Drai's nightclub on the top of the Cromwell which was really, really fun. On the way out my friend and I stopped to play a Buffalo machine. She put in about $5 and won 150 free spins which was a really nice payout--I think over $400. Lots of screaming by us. I think we were the only people in the casino--it was about 2am by then...weekday.

I just read that Nevada is requiring masks for players at table games that don't have physical barriers such as shields .

I am definitely not doing that, so it is goodbye Vegas until it returns to normal.
