Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

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.

You got me, might help if I read the article. I thought the last paragraph was your thought

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.

I miss Pleasure island! I loved Mannequins ( not sure if that’s how you spell it), and seeing Captain Morgan wondering around as well as the massive blocks of ice for shots. That was a different world....

Same here! I used to live in Tallahassee, and I was dating a girl in Orlando. We went to Pleasure Island a LOT (not just euphemistically). It was nice having the variety of clubs all in one place and New Year’s Eve every night!

Cheryl Crow put on a heck of a show there one night long ago. We people in the front rows really got a show.

And the plot thickens.......

My guess is from what they are hearing the guidelines would be, it wouldn't be financially feasible to open the parks under those guidelines.

My guess anyways

This is like a bad soap opera at this point...

I think they want a seat at the table. They want input. I do think the must be in range of said park is the biggest deterrent.

Thought it worth noting that for thanksgiving week Touringplans changed their crowd level predictions - it was at 1’s 2’s 3 max and now i see 4-8 (8 at Epcot on the 29th) mostly 4’s

I can't believe they aren't keeping the parks in the loop. Florida handled this FAR better than Cali.

I agree that's likely the sticking point here. I guess the question becomes what does DL/USH "give up" to get the requirement dropped? Do they negotiate an even lower initial capacity cap? Is dropping that requirement something the Governor is even willing to consider? Again, I'm by no means an expert on DLR but I'm not sure we're going to get the DLR "news" we hoped for tomorrow.

And that’s only if they can get this rumored “open in yellow tier” situation figured out. (Hitting “yellow“ is basically impossible in any county with a decent size population unless the pandemic is over.)

I was actually just about to post that. For those wondering, see below:

I've been pretty fair-minded about both sides (it does take two to tango), but it looks like both sides are heading towards some sort of outside arbitration getting involved.

Tiers aside- The only way I think they make the radius situation financially viable is to suspend APs. They need ticket sales to make enough money (especially without hotels operating). Either tell people they will reactivate APs when the radius is lifted or they can select a refund, or straight up refund all and reset the entire AP program in CA.... In FL there was little demand from non-AP holders. But if they turn the entire local populace into non-AP holders (a bored as all get out populace no less) in this highly populated area of CA... and maybe run a local special on tickets for this time period to reflect loss of some stuff in the parks, I really wonder if people would show?

Wow

I mean.....

@andyman8 is right. This is like a bad soap opera now.

What's the next twist and turn....

I don't know that they can engage in arbitration if he remained on the council? maybe?

I wouldn't be surprised to see some legal action coming out of this....
