The
Flamingo, Paris Las Vegas, The Bellagio, MGM Grand,
NewYork-New
York, The Venecian, Caesars Palace.
They’ve
all closed everything down, no foot and street traffic,
no
hotels, no casinos, no retaurants and bars.
Imagine
no one at the slots, the roulette tables, no backjack
and
poker...Zip, zero, nada!
COVID-19
Virus, you know.
My
brother, Dave, who passed away last year made his annual
pilgrimage
to the Vegas Strip in the Fall every year.
They
can restrict the faithful from flocking to Lourdes and Fatima,
to
Mecca and Medina, Dave would shrug his shoulders and claim.
Those
guys can stay at home and pray. God is everywhere.
But
Vegas, that’s a different kind of sacred—it’s play instead
of
pray.
Damned
virus, he might say were he alive today. They’ve shut down
the
Strip in Las Vegas.
What
in hell is this world coming to?
