This Las Vegas casino company is paying guests $20 to wear masks

LAS VEGAS – Wearing a mask inside a Caesars Entertainment casino?

Someone from the company may tap you on the shoulder and slip you $20 to gamble.

The operator of five reopened hotel-casinos on The Strip has launched the promotion to encourage guests to wear masks and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Over the weekend, a promotions team walked through Caesars Palace, Paris, Flamingo, The Linq and Harrah's to find people wearing masks while gambling or strolling the casino floor. All told, 375 guests got $7,500.

People couldn't care less about their health, or the health of others.

But Money??

Perhaps if businesses Bribed patrons, there would be more people wearing masks.

I will give the casino credit (pun intended) though for at least doing something - it's a hell of a lot more than most businesses are doing.

the local Media is driving certain Casino's nuts. BTW,the new ownership of Cesar's in hock to the tune of 17.7 billion to specially created Holding Company of a East Coast Casualty and Life Insurance Company.

Appears the Bailout money is being used to lure High Rollers Back plus entice the locals to get their free 20 dollar slot credits.
