Morongo casino reopens in Southern California

[MDawg]

I stepped into Morongo which is one of the larger and nicer Indian casinos in southern Cal, although nothing to compare with anything good in Vegas. I went for a commando photo raid.


Clearly they were expecting, or had experienced, a line to enter, but on this Thursday afternoon, no wait to get in at all.


There is a Covid-19 warning on the way in,


advising that the pool, spa and buffet are closed, and that you must keep your mask on,

and social distancing markers, each one six feet apart, on the ground.


This is the entrance area


and the lady in blue with black pants facing the door asks you to remove your mask, which I thought was for some kind of temperature check, but turns out is for, unless I am mistaken completely, a digital camera picture. I do not know what they were looking for with that one, but after she took my picture she said simply, �You�re good� and waved me in. The deputy sheriff stands guard next to her.

Inside some of the slots are �socially distanced� with plexiglass barriers,




others create separations by being turned off, every other machine,

still others seem to offer no social distancing measures at all, and are all turned on in a row, same as always.
