Gotta think nostalgia will help bring the Adventurers Club back at one of the hotels at some point in the future. Retheme the Boardwalk to a Pleasure Island. I may be in the extreme minority, and I love both resorts (never stayed at Swan and/or Dolphin) but that boardwalk area could use some serious retooling.

Around crescent lake is our favorite area to stay (even tho the Poly is our favorite resort for theming/bars/restaurants). We love BWI, BC/YC. Also never stayed at the Swolphin.
But yes, the boardwalk itself could use some help. I'd love to try the FF, and our breakfast at Trattoria was good, but otherwise the restaurants on the Boardwalk side aren't great. They need more quick service options than a few premade sandwiches and the pizza window (and I'm actually in the minority that doesn't hate the pizza. I tend to feel like even "bad" pizzas are pretty good (unless you've eaten pizza in Omaha or Buffalo - both those cities have some masters at thoroughly screwing up pizza). We stayed at the Boardwalk most recently in March, and the pizza window had an hour long wait. Lots of people trying to find late night food and drinks. We actually had a good time at Abracadabar, but there was only one other person in the bar - is it usually pretty empty?
Also, in all our stays, we've seen a lot of people renting surrey bikes, the magicians/entertainers can build a decent crowd, and it's usually looked like there are a lot of people in Jelly Rolls when the piano players are actually playing. I've only ever peeked inside the dance hall, but I've never seen more than a couple people inside. Never seen a line to get in. I honestly can't say I've ever seen other guests actually enter.

Interesting plan from the CEO of Wynn that sounds very close to implementation (if allowed by Gov). Would allow for return to conventions and densely populated indoor concerts prior to vaccine. Short story is they've worked to design an in house rapid test that will show your result on an app and allow you to enter concerts/conventions/crowded spaces. Very well thought out:

Imagine the following: Lionel Richie is playing at the Encore Theater at 7 p.m. Between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. that day, you and your friends each provide a saliva sample at our on-property testing centers. The barcodes are scanned and you download the free UMC app and go about your day. All the information is hosted by UMC and the data is private. When the test results come back at 6 p.m., a negative test triggers a green light on the app and you can attend the show. And because the same process will apply, you can also head into a securely populated convention the following morning.

The only problem and this is being devil’s advocate. Is let’s say you take the test at 12pm. You go about your day and come in contact with a positive person. Get it from that person. You are then given the green light for a 7pm show and spread. For this to work they need a truly rapid test that works.
 
They address that also:

If, by chance, someone is infected after they take the test, science tells us that it takes approximately 48 hours for that person to become communicable. We are not planning on creating a full “Wynn bubble” by testing everyone in every environment, but instead requiring a test for employees to work or guests to attend a show, convention, nightclub or other crowded space that exceeds the “mass gathering” state-mandated limits. Clearly, we will need approval from the state to execute this plan, but having worked closely with leading medical experts around the country, I believe that this approach can accelerate Nevada’s recovery, and not just for the Las Vegas Strip, but also to reopen our schools.

Nothing in life is 100 percent safe but establishing these safe zones by testing thousands of people per day with the PCR test, dramatically mitigates the danger of community spread and, with empirical evidence and careful execution, will work. The probability of a contagious COVID carrier entering a “safe zone” is less than one-tenth of 1 percent.
