hey the world travelers hey there I'm Tanya and I'm Dave and we are Turn It Up World
and today we're going to be talking about the Las Vegas reopening updates
what's changed and what you need to know
so there have been quite a few changes in Las Vegas that we wanted to share with you to help
you make a better informed decision if you have a trip planned to Las Vegas and these are just some
things we think you should know starting with the new covid restrictions put in place they're
sort of tighter restrictions where the hotels casinos the bars used to be at a 50% capacity
and they rolled that back to a 25% capacity and you have to make a reservation so no if answer but
at all dine in restaurants you don't have to make a reservation obviously at fast food joints and
things like that but at restaurants that are dine in you need to make a reservation you can't just
walk into those places and expect to be seated you have to make reservations yes and also mass
are required to be worn at all times inside or outside unless you're actively eating or
drinking now in addition to that roll back of 25% capacity it also applies to places like gyms zoos
theme parks bowling alleys all those type of activities they're under 25% capacity as well
yes and crowds have dropped off in recent weeks we actually expect they'll continue to be very
light especially given the recent California state home orders which will definitely have an impact
on crowd sizes in Las Vegas absolutely and now for some good news yes yes the grand opening of
the hotel portion of the circa hotel Downtown Las Vegas is coming up on December 28th and one
really cool thing about that if you book December 28th they're allowing you to check in two days
early on December 26 yeah for no extra charge so you're basically getting three nights for the cost
of one night which is really cool now it's still not cheap the opening night is going for $300
or more on that night but still pretty good deal overall if you are playing to go make sure you
check out our full 4k walkthrough of Circa we went to the sports book we went to the stadium swim
the cool restaurants and bars the casino a full walkthrough so definitely check that out we'll put
a link to that in the description box below now the Rio is set to reopen December 22nd at 10 a.m.
but unfortunately the Sands Corporation made announcement that the Palazzo will be closing
seven days a week currently until December 23rd the hotel side the bars the restaurants and the
casinos will remain open and also the new virgin hotel at the old hard rock hotel they've actually
pushed back their reopening date again they were going to open on January 15th but now
they've canceled that date they have not announced a new date as of yet
hopefully sooner than later because you know Richard Branson does them bracelets
absolutely now for some exciting fun news the circus circus has announced that they have a new
attraction called NebulaZ which is basically like this thrill ride gondola ish that can throw you
around make you just want to puke exactly I'm sure I wouldn't feel too good after that ride but for
those of you that like those kind of rides it's open seven days a week we'll put the hours in the
description box below absolutely definitely check it out now keep in mind too this is an attraction
currently under the restrictions it runs at about 25% capacity so I would certainly call ahead try
and get a reservation or find out you know the details in terms of how you can get a reservation
or reserve spot okay so let's talk about fireworks now Tanya do you want the good news or the bad
news first oh that's a good one let's start with the bad news let's get that out of the way first
okay so let's talk about the Las Vegas strip first the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority
have announced that there's going to be no live fireworks this year yes that's that's too bad now

they're gonna have a countdown on the live stream they're gonna blow up but they're gonna blow up a
2020 that's part of the countdown good riddance to 2020. yes and then light up a 2021 sign with
fireworks and kind of confetti all that kind of good stuff so it'll be live streams yes
