Hey there world travelers, hey there. I'm Tanya and I'm Dave and we are Turn
It Up World and today we're gonna be doing things a little bit differently.
That's right, today we're talking about the Wynn Las Vegas plan to reopen by mid
to late May, and let me tell y'all there are some dramatic changes coming.
Viva Las Vegas, Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas, Las Vegas!
So, Dave and I have had to cancel our trips and plans to Las Vegas due to this
coronavirus pandemic as I'm sure many of you have had to cancel your trips as
well, but we were also thinking what plan is Vegas and these casinos what are they
gonna put in place to start rolling out things to get us back to some sort of
normalcy in Vegas. Yeah exactly and actually we were very excited to see
the Wynn just released a detailed plan to reopen by the middle of May, and how
fitting is that for them to do so, when they were the first casino to close
their doors protecting both their patrons as well as their employees
before any other casino, so it definitely is fitting that they're gonna
be rolling out this plan here a very detailed plan that I'm sure many of
these casinos will follow as well, right and we must say too, the Wynn has really
been amazing 15,000 employees, they asked to stay home through May, through basically
probably May 15th, and they're paying them through May 15th, wow, that's great, hats
off to you Wynn oh and by the way we're not being sponsored by them, so Wynn's
President Matt Maddox has said many many times throughout this plan that the
health and safety of both their employees as well as their guests is top
priority so one of the ways they're doing this is that they're going to be
rolling out thermal scanning devices all around the casino's entrance points
and they say these thermal scans are very non-invasive now if you register a
100 degree temperature they'll actually take you into another room to have your
temperature taken and if you're over 100 you can't come into the casino and that's
both employees and guests. You might be wondering how is the Wynn gonna handle
physical distancing during this reopening, well that is a very good
question, so the Wynn is practicing the six feet rule I mean if they can put a
span about this distance it'd be great, yes so it is quite impressive in terms
of the plan that they're putting in place and quite extensive I mean they're
really applying the six feet rule to about everything and that includes like
the queue lines and members of other folks
not in your party, yeah exactly so like you say if you're checking in, if you're
going to the elevator, you got to be six feet across while you're waiting for
those things as well and also going into elevators it's limited to four per
elevator, absolutely and they're taking it even a step further when it comes to
social distancing if you're gonna be using their limousine service from the
Wynn well there's a sedan and there's also the SUV and now what they're doing
is the SUV they're limiting it to four people and you cannot sit in the front
seat and if it's a sedan it's two people, so that's it they're really cutting
things down, they're taking chairs away from certain games the slot machines
it's gonna be the same way so it's very very strict in terms of their social
distancing rule really in order for them to get this reopened, I'm sure that's what
they're gonna have to do, yes, hand sanitizers now the Wynn will be
installing hand sanitizing stations throughout their complex at all
entrances, at the restaurants, the gyms, the elevators everywhere expect to see
hand sanitizing stations, so definitely use them, they'll be touchless, put your
hands under there, wash your hands, if you can't get to a bathroom and actually
wash for twenty seconds under a sink, use those stations, and for all those ladies out
there who have ashy hands there's gonna be automatic lotion stations as well
signs, signs, signs, signs the Wynn is taking extra steps to make sure you are
constantly aware of health and hygiene so they're going to be putting signs
throughout the entire complex to make sure you understand that, as a matter of
fact, they're even putting up things to teach you throughout their on how to
properly wear a mask, there's going to be the electronic communication boards so
don't worry, if you turn left, if you turn right, and even if you turn
back, wash your damn hands, there's gonna be a sign in your face, now I'm sure many
of you are probably wondering with all these new rules and things being put in
place, what the guest experience is gonna be like, and the first thing you'll
probably notice when you drive up in your car or taxi is that the employees will
not open the car door for you, nope they've been instructed to not
touch those door handles, as a matter of fact valet service is terminated until
further notice so you're kind of on your own, but if you do
want bell service they will provide you with bell service, what happens is once
your stuff is trucked up to your room they're gonna have to spray those carts
down and disinfect them the way they plan on doing that, you will also be
greeted by a security guard who's gonna obviously ask you some questions as well
as instruct you to get some hand sanitizer as well as a mask and there
will be signage on how to properly wear those masks and they actually give you those
masks too right? Yes, exactly, it's provided by the casino, which is great, and also the casino
doors will be either kind of open or be able to be opened hands free so you don't
have to use your hands to go through the casino doors, right it's gonna be open for you, the employees
are gonna be doing that so you won't be touching any of the doors whatsoever, and
as a guest when you check in you're gonna get a goodie bag, thank you very
much, you're welcome, and this is not the traditional goodie bag okay this goodie bag will
have a mask to wear, it may not be this mask exactly but something like that, it
will have hand sanitizer something like this and also a Covid-19
information card, so not your traditional goodie bag but it's there to
keep you safe, if you need any extra PPE personal protection equipment where
you'll find those at a couple different places, all entrance and exits of the
complex, all red card kiosk stations, as well as the concierge and front
registration sections, so what about fitness centers, salons, and your favorite
the spas, that's right, no absolutely nothing right now it's pending guidance
of the local authorities and the medical experts so they're not really doing much
with those at the moment but they did say that for the fitness side of things
they're making alterations towards wellness and that might be things in
your room or actually outdoor experiences when it comes to that, so
