The Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Fremont Street are certainly not even close to ghost towns. While we have noticed a slight decline in visitors to these areas, they are still action-packed. The weekends continue to be busier than earlier in the week, but the crowds and long waits for restaurants have seemed to decrease overall. Masks continue to be required for everyone in public indoor spaces, like casinos and restaurants, but can be removed outdoors, in-
