I stand corrected New.
I should have known a Language Professor lurked some where. :)
Person who told me this obviously isn't one.

English is not the only language with homophones. Consider the following French words: compte, comte, conte, meaning account, count, and tale, respectively.

And there is a language where all words "sound" pretty much the same: ASL.

:lol: RE: ASL. Funny you mention French, My first Mother-In-Law was French. I wanted to thank her for something. Not having great pronunciation skills and with my accent my merci beaucoup (thank you very much) came out merci beaucue (the cue sounding like in barbeque). My then wife turned to me and said "you just told my mother thankyou nice ass." Lucky for me my mother-in-law took as a compliment. Ok, it has nothing to do with LV/NV casinos but it is mother's day. :)

I am looking forward to Las Vegas opening but I will not go for a few months to see how things go. In addition if they space the machines out and you go with someone they will be 6 feet away. Not much fun in that.

Wiz. where do you imagine all that open space between machines is going to come from?
They will not eliminate half to two thirds of the slots.

i imagine every other machine is going to be turned off in the short term. They will certainly have fewer machines since they will have to restrict capacity any way.

I would just hope that if you are with someone, they don't enforce the 6 feet rule. No sense in preventing me from sitting or standing next to my wife when we already live together. Maybe we can't play machines side by side at the same time, that's fine.
