Coronavirus turns Las Vegas into ghost town
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- In Las Vegas, hotels, casinos and businesses closed their doors for at least 30 days to help combat the spread of the coronavirus. This is a massive blow to a city where 200k people work in the hotel industry, and where the economy pretty much depends on the 42k tourists who visit each year.

Thats good
Lmmaaaoooo
Bruce K ......Bruce, that money will not last......once a gambler.....
Yup
Best comment ever. lol
Let Sin city have a break from sin for once
True
Very much needed
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom yes I'm a pool Technician I say keep them closed. The freeways have been such a joy for me lately haha
JuicyJuice the sin was trading and traveling to China ,they are the cause

As a person who lives in Vegas is really weird seeing the strip as empty as it is
I Hate Life No keep safe.

Lmao
Corona can infect a dog 😐
Animals can get the Wuhan virus, I mean it did come from animals in the first place
@Mr Cloud yes, it originated from bats, but like humans, domestic pets can catch it as well, and can be contagious; species-to-species

"It's like an apocalypse" as traffic drives behind her.
foot traffic wise. its usually swamped , people within inches of each other. traffic still flows, just much less. it can take a car 10min to get to the next light signal, now it takes under one

@@ssj3vegett0 You missed the point. Apocalyptic is not accurate. It would be dead. No people. So her comment is still funny.
@@russellmusictv4403 i think you're the one missing the point

you people need to calm down and stop arguing. lol silly AF
”I laid off my employees” That dentist seemed kinda okay saying that and yet is having fun too

Dentist guy doesn't seem very apologetic about his firings...🤔
@@rindjint3205 well they can apply for unemployment. With the stimulus bill it adds an additional $600 a week on top of regular unemployment checks
@@rindjint3205 I agree 💯
@@inhawaii4941 what happened to your other comment?🤔🤔🤔
The Coronavirus cured my gambling addiction!
Lol me too dude....I feel not normal from not gambling so long
When they open back up you'll drop all the money you would've anyways in one day
Yeah
this is the first month I don't lose half of my money after getting my paycheck. so there is a silver lining. if you are a gambling addict, still have a job and could make it even with gambling loses, now it is definitely much better time financially.
PurPleSuN lol that’s why there’s poker stars they can just gamble on the computer lmao

😶 I'm from Las Vegas...and I have Never seen Las Vegas look like that late in the Day...
It’s amazing how the corona virus just ended all the hotel resort fees on the strip
MORTAL KOMBAT.....Mortal, it is one more......it will rain straight for 40 days and nights again. Worth than corona.
That is going cause flash flooding everywhere
And you thought the slots were tight before, wait till they re-open after losing millions of dollars...a bonus round on a $20 spin will pay 50 cents lol
Definitely right about that
MissAmazanda, I have a trip being planned for Oct, and was thinking the same thing... I can go to Vegas tomorrow And return Roundtrip from Boston to Vegas for $34.80 non stop.. I usually pay over 300.00 RT... I’m rethinking and maybe going in Oct will be a bad idea, they will tighten the slots so they can recover their losses..
Not good for someone playing the slots..
Tony Wolf, I’m willing to bet Vegas will recover very fast.. I’m sure it will lose some businesses, but the casinos will be back and packed..
@@rogerdean5313 I wouldn't be so sure. A lot is gonna change once this is over. It'll be a loooooong time before people get back in crowds.
@Tony Wolf the people who gamble are all mostly broke thats why they go in the first place
This is disgusting, the casinos should be swindling these addicts and they're not.
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom Ciao Las Vegas, bye, bye

Las Vegas: I never sleep. Corona: says who
COVID-19: Lights out bitch!
"It's like a alpaca-lypse"
There's an upside to this: lots of people will wake up sober, with cash in their pockets (not in the slot machine), and many will be free of STD's that they otherwise would've contracted.
people in the comment: "Apocalypse...when there's cars driving behind her.." She doesn't mean it literal !!! It's just a phrase. It's apocalyptic like in comparison to it's norm foot traffic. If you been to Vegas then you'll know.
LMFAO!
she said "Alpacalypse"...
It should be "Armageddon" instead of Apocalypse. LMAO lol
I kept replaying that part😂😂
Born n raised. I love my city, God bless everyone! I am proud of albertsons workers, family dollar, my health clinic for staying open n making sure tape is laid down six feet apart n cashier's telling everyone to back up if too close. I am proud to be a true Las Vegas resident born here n so proud we closed the strip immediately! Good job to the city that NVR sleeps! Shout out to Kay Crazy a rapper born n raised here n keeping me going threw his music.
Turn to Jesus. ..change your ways . Jesus the only Way out
Go and walk into oncoming traffic you turd!
Hey, when God comes back these are the same people that will be crying on their needs in disbelief
@@mellochello77 god is a superior being who is embarrassed by human groveling on their knees begging for trinkets and to be saved. It is beneath Him, he is waiting for human to evolve past such childish primitive behavior and become a true intellectual being in his universe. Stand up you fat greedy wastes of oxygen and protect the planet from climate change.
Blahblahblahblah
Amen i am believer turn my life to GOD.
Yea I was born in Las Vegas Vegas Nevada and I've been sad because I miss going to casinos I pray this virus gets cleared up 😢😢😢😪
@John Rayburn ikr
@John Rayburn you think China did this to us? Keep in mind *THEIR OWN PEOPLE* are also infected.
The casinos there screwed a lot of people over. And the city relied mostly on gambling than on essentials. So I dont feel sorry for the city.
@Geni Medina keep in mind that even closed, they are costing us a fortune keeping all those lights on!
It turned the whole world Into a ghost town.
It's just Disneyland for adults with gambling and booze and showgirls.
And what's wrong with that? :)
@@exarmy4418 nothing. I was there once that was my observation. I don't gamble and I'm not into girls so I just drank went swimming took in a show and the sights. It's also hot and the food buffets are amazing.
Wow! That's original! No-one's ever heard that before!
Well a it’s in a desert so it’s going to be hot in and around December it is about 70 degrease out side
Who asked?
Funny they show people not on the roads. but in the interviews. cars driving all over. haha.
:) :) :) hahahaa.. all hotel-casinos are closed, all stores and some shops door covered with plywood - since Delano to all the way back to North to Stratosphere about few miles and everywhere else too and Fremont Street end-to-end closed by gates.. jaa-hahaa.. :) only architecture is available to see.. Last time I see something like that was in 1986 April in Europe (I was 5 something), but this you see first time. Of course there's traffic, because some people had to go work too by this route and traffic is light there, earlier it was real traffic-jam.. ;)
media is a big lier. three years ago during the hurricane in Florida, there was a reporter on the beach barely can stand still because of the crazy wind( what he was telling the viewers), I was about 300 feet away from him kicking my soccer ball. i mentioned that because they showed ghost town in the beginning of the video but too many cars during the interview.
Las Vegas, a populated place visited every year, now is a ghost town and nobody will come out.
My parents: We ride at dawn, bitches.
Surprised How Smart Vegas People Are Stayin In And Actually Taking Precaution Unlike Florida
Chino M ......chino, they have no choice, there is nothing in Vegas without the casinos. They don't even have a beach....by the way, you look good, or the picture is your son.
@@agustindejesus7398 You've obviously never been to Vegas
Italia Perez ....ita, no, and I have missed nothing. I have never been to Vegas, and I will never go either. Don't need that place, and let me tell you that my nephew live there for 30 years. Vegas is for gamblers anonymous. I have been in Italia.
When it's busy of tourists the local are complaining.
So enjoy, your wishes became reality.
Locals complain when tourists are idiots
I'm actually a local here, and I always stay away from the strip cuz how crowded it is, so I'm enjoying the moment till it's become tourist only again
It's actually pretty peaceful right now, no traffic or annoying Californians driving lol
@@ppchan4824 I can't even go to Jerry's Nugget.
We are enjoying 🤣🤣🤣‼️
The entire planet has been humbled
I went sightseeing there long ago. I don't think I'll ever comeback anyway.
Every street has homeless people living on them kinda like San Francisco or LA
OceanBlue Heart
Homeless bother u mo, than da corona-virus, don't they?
SMH
U should try seattle.never seen souch homeless before.worst than sf
All by design.
I live in Vegas and most of our town is unemployed and there are looters in my neighborhood because of that
Who cares
Chicago773 Williams Idk just thought it was relevant to how the virus has effected Vegas
Sounds like Eastside or NLV
ricarellan no southwest by wet n wild
I'm sooooo happy those damn casinos aren't making any money. How does it feel now?
They will get a big bail out while they give us a lousy $1,200.
Still wasting all that electricity!
Smh idiot. This is my home.
All the escorts are going to be really hungry for cash
Cool. Now you can negotiate for a cheaper price.
@@lotto5742 right 😄
lotto .....lotto, there is no cheaper price.....try winning the lotto.
Maybe they’ll start with better comps and cheaper rates
They’ve got to draw people back in somehow
No prob!! 40million tourist by year and about 40K daily and about 600K locals..
Las Vegas : The house never loses
Corovirus : Hold my beer
Lmao the thumbnail look like some video game where you can pick LV as a track for racing
1:52 does Ceaser live here
I miss Las Vegas I wanna go back I love it there so much
50,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town.
As a Las Vegas resident, I can confirm that it's a ghost town since the coronavirus lockdown went into effect by Governor Sisolak.
All that really is missing is someone playing Blue Moon while the camera pans over that one scene of the empty streets at night
0:58, dog even had a mask on.
You say only 42,000 tourists visit annually? I think your number is way off.
But what about those RESORT FEES NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Lol, just before this all went down I was planning on going to Vegas but high room prices couples with stupid resorr fees as much as the room itself sometime, I scratched Vegas off the list..
Why don't they again raise the resort and parking fees.
You can play casino online
When Vegas re-opens they’ll implement a “gambling distancing policy” to keep with local and government orders. Macau casinos are already formatting this measure. The local Health Bureau conducts mandatory tests for each visitor entering a casino. From personal declarations about their health, body-temperature checks, and requires everyone to wear face masks on the gaming floor. The reduction of tables in the casinos is to keep the distance between people. Gamblers are not allowed to stand in groups or congregate, and at the baccarat tables, which usually seats seven people, only four players are allowed at a time.
This ladies and gents, will be the new norm😷
(The worst since 2008 ) give me a friggin break, LasVegas has never in it’s history has ever been through anything even close to this before.
Blame it on diversity
The city that finally fell asleep
New York City as well
The city of las vegas finally sleep.
Get ready new world currency. The current one is dying
I’ve seen web cams, it’s really eerie seeing how deserted it is.... But I have a question, why do many Casinos have their lights on?
To prevent theft and vandalism
Ein, I would think they still have their security officers in place?
EERIE!!!! Come on God Almighty! Make Vegas great again!
The Thanos Snap
Guess what? The casinos in Philadelphia Mississippi on the Choctaw reservation are still open!
0.26 looks like heavy traffic in background
That's no heavy traffic in the strip . . . More like really slow traffic
Born and raised here, here now. Its not a ghost town. Do not believe this video
Vegas is a dump so I'm glad no more sin is being comited there.
You probably been dumped in vegas 🤣
I was supposed to go to Vegas with my husband and glad we didn’t. One nothing is open and two it’s dangerous what’s going on so at least they are taking precautions by closing.
My beautiful city I want to see you full of people back. I spent 12 yrs in this beautiful desert.
Maybe it's a good thing ? People aren't losing money at casinos, no drunks on the streets, no wild parties, no sin in Sin City!
Wild parties are GREAT
Perfect race track😎👍
@EveryDay oh hell I was thinking of Drag Racing 😂😂😂 yeah maybe 4mula One....
Uses a face mask but scratches her nose. Lol
I saw that too
You know damn well when they reopen those slot machines are going to be tightened up.
This is bad time to be at the gambling tables. Now life is a gamble!
Will farelll look alike
Less water waste for the fountains
Sin city, greedy casinos, they charge resort fees in addition to room cost and also parking not free.
Las Vegas and “ glory” don’t belong in the same sentence. Wait a minute, $5 steak and eggs and 2 am?!!!!?!??! I’m goin to Vegas
Andy Peterson nahh man I live in Vegas you wanna stay away from those😂😂
Joseph Leslie you are wrong 👌
Andy Peterson whatever you say man it’s your stomach that’s gonna suffer not mine
Joseph Leslie pfffffff, every time I go to vegas I get that $5 steak and eggs at 2am , sometimes I eat like 3 of them with the A1 sauce and some hot sauce mmmmmmmhmmmmm that’ll put some hair on your azz
Andy Peterson Ight then
This is worst than the 2017 Las Vegas massacre
For reals, I just drove through the strip. It had nothing but locals driving though. Crazy.
Please support Salvation Army
I'm really curious as to what has become of the mole people that live in the underground sewers and tunnels below the city! There are hundreds of people down there. Drug addicts, homeless, illegals, wanted people. Both with the Coronavirus pandemic ongoing, and with the shut downs illuminating there only way to survive (the coming and going people and businesses). I'm sure there once already impossible living has become a death sentence for them aswell as so many hidden dark places like them! Does anyone have any information on the underworld status??
Wow....Sin City stops!
They could use this rest period to plan Las Vegas, to attract more tourists. Macau was receiving 8x the gambling tourism & traffic of Las Vegas.
California is empty too
I'm proud to see my city doing their part #LIGHTSOUT #STAYHOME
Let's take some Go karts, Paintball guns and have Mario Kart style race all up and down the Strip!!!!
xzana Loo fr huh😂sht would b lit 🔥
Might be the time that gamblers suddenly finding money in their pocket realize that the only real way to win is not to play.
It's lucky that Celine Dion have ended her residency last year. If she ended her residency this year, many of the shows will be cancelled, but her courage world tour cancelled because of this pandemic
This is the 5th seal in Revelations JESUS has opened there is no cure the world,s economy is done.
Yeah right, get bent
Actually the Bible says they will cry "peace and security" before the end. It also mentions turning against religion. This may be the start of something but the currency isn't the issue.
0:58 What was the point of that?
Las Vegas is like a ghostown
ghost town every where not only vegas. we all feeling it.
Meanwhile preppers laughing their asses off...
True but its not zombies.... But then again.... Police in my country are turning people away from my area who are clearly trying to run from the virus.... I live near a national park.
I hope vegas recovers from this I'm not a gambler but a lot of good people are out of work. May god bless us one and all.
Las Vegas went to HELL.
Like watching paint dry
The city council was an azz. They ask me to apply for business permit for driving with Uber when other city don’t. Now I guess no business to run.
Las Vegas have money, they are not afraid of any virus...now they should help poor people
renusdoo renusigor
LOL!!!
Rich help da poor?
Da rich CONcocted dis BS!
MJ tried 2 tell u.
THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT US.
Vegas slept before this. 24 hour grocery stores closed since then.
Where is tom cruise to save us ?????????
bad sof
Or Supaman, Spiderman, & Jesus?!?
DUH holy trinity!
What about all the cars behind her?
Give it a break before you know it we'll be right back to it.
So strange to see it like that, this is surreal!
