Seems like most things are operating as normal. If you're a rewards member you have to call, but non rewards members can book online or through the app.

Probably would expect a few issues here and there but word on the ground is that it's mostly business as usual.

Looking forward to on the ground reports of actually walking to the sphere from closer hotels. On paper looks good.

Apparently this is the GA entry, on the opposite side of the building from the Strip

It's go time, folks. Enjoy the ride.

They do.

Ellis Island has amazing home made rootbeer and reasonably priced BBQ, really good, but I don't think I would sleep there. We live in SoCal and keep going back.

Should have checked this thread first. (I might be out of practice here.)

Can you walk easily to THE Sphere from here? When I do go to Vegas, we avoid these areas if at all possible, so my knowledge of Vegas geography isn't what it should be.

Oh definitely. They're more or less across the street from each other (TI and Venetian). In fact I stopped in TI after the show last night

[martha]

Thanks.

[dstalksalot]

What about Fashion Show Mall? That's about 20 minute walk and also free.

i get the sense it's probably easier to name the casinos you didn't stop in lol.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That's... probably accurate.

I don’t want to speak for him but let’s go with “did not stop in any of the casinos west of Las Vegas Blvd.”

I already replied in the other thread, but I followed Headache's advice and wound up in a jail cell violated by a number of drunk miscreants had no problems parking for free at Treasure Island whatsoever, with an easy walk to the Venetian.

Thank you, Headache!
