Some Las Vegas tourists eagerly shed masks as vaccinated return to normal life
2 minutos de lectura
A day into relaxed mask guidance nationwide, the Las Vegas Strip looked ever closer to normal. That’s not to say that masks were nonexistent.
Diana Bonsack, visiting from New Mexico, had dutifully worn her mask while on her girls’ trip this week to Las Vegas with her mother and friend, even though she had been vaccinated against COVID-19, she said. But she whipped off the mask as she waited for a taxi from the Paris to the airport upon hearing the federal guidance saying vaccinated people generally no longer need to wear masks even indoors.
She was glad to be bare-faced and breathing easier as the temperatures tickled at 100 degrees.
The new normal of wearing a mask and social distancing that has been in place for more than a year was still highly visible in the resort corridor, not just in face coverings but in the copious numbers of motion-activated hand sanitizer dispensers, the capacity limits posted on the doors of high-end boutiques, and the signs that had not been stored away or reprogrammed yet reminding guests to wear masks.
Wayne Newton’s smiling eyes and covered nose and mouth still filled a large digital sign outside Bally’s with an entreating “Mr. Las Vegas says: ‘Please wear a mask.’”
But on this characteristically warm late-spring day, it was sun’s-out, chin’s-out for many visitors. The carefree and celebratory indicators that have become increasingly common in the last few months were out in force: street musicians with tip jars, women dressed as showgirls asking tourists to not be shy and stop for a photo, the footlong slushy margaritas, and, yes, masks denoting brides and newly minted 21-year-olds.
