Hi. I know I have been quiet since this shutdown. I have my reasons. This is not something I like talking about and neither do you.
Resort fees. Resort fees are not going away. You can complain all over social media about it, but its here to stay. Yes its now free parking and some hotels offer limited valet(check beforehand).
Resort fees are for your enjoyment of the pool, gym salon and yes the Casino floor. The fees are for the external maintenance of the property. You dont like it, but you want to have it at your disposal. How do you explain that? This is not 1980! Its 2020. Things have changed and if you cannot accept than dont visit our great city.
If you love Las Vegas, we have much to offer! We are open and ready to open the doors for you and your friends, family.
If you listen and read social media, most are discouraging and wrong about our city. We are safe, mask and social distancing. We locals love our city. Visit anytime and have the best time of your life!

Do you?
I understand that most people are afraid to walk among the homeless and destitute. I am not. I am a confident woman and when I engage with these folks they trust me. At all hours of the night since I was in my early teen's. I do not fear the homeless. Yes, they have mental issues, but all they need is a kind hand and a hello. They need love too.
When I venture out at night to get some fresh air, I encounter many characters. Some lost, some needing a hello and some needing water or a bit of food. No one ever asks me for anything. I am the one that always offers. I never carry much cash, but enough for water or a few items they may need.
When I stop by my neighborhood 7 Eleven, they know I am buying stuff for the needy. They always say, "Scarlett what are you buying tonight"? They know I care and do what they can to offer help. I wont say because they have a job to protect. But we are in this together. We are not wealthy but we help one another on an even plane. So many folks suffering as well as animals.
My heart is with humanity and all the animals no matter what species they are.
I look around my city and I see sadness. Its not just the shutdown, but everyday since 1987. Even when I lived in Santa Monica for a few years, I gave a cashmere blanket to a homeless woman. I saw her shivering one night and I told my boyfriend to hurry home. I went into house and grabbed that blanket. He took me back to where she was and I covered her in a doorway and put a hundred dollar bill under her arm. She whispered, "Thank you". She is forever in my heart, never saw her again, and its ok. I gave her warmth for one night. Thats all I care about.
How Selfish are you today? Look at yourself and see? Do you care about other people? No, really? Do you?

How do I write a marvelous story about the way Las Vegas used to be, when all I see is disdain. Its hard to wrap my intelligent brain around all this nonsense. Im glad there is no reason to be young anymore. Whatever I write is an expression of who I am today.
I see anger all around. People are out of work, more homeless, businesses going out of business, no money, no quality of life. If you think quality of life is walking around the grocery store in a mask, than I am not on your side. And who can go to the gym and have a solid workout if you're breathing is reduced by 60% because your face is covered by a disgusting mask? Well, most Americans dont workout, thats a fact, so they could care less about those of us that are healthy and make a life based around the gym with healthy outlooks. Leave the gyms alone! We are not part of a fear-based society. We dont eat processed crap or hoard canned goods. WE prefer the produce aisle which are always stocked and rarely busy.
All of a sudden people are worried about their immune system being compromised? Really? Did you think of that when you decided to disregard going to the gym or having physical exercise as part of your life? Thats when you disregard your own health. Its not our fault that you are unable to maintain proper health standards. Selfish. Now you think everyone should protect your unhealthy lifestyle? Not my problem or anyone else who is fit and healthy. You made that choice. Now you will deal with the circumstances. I will not, as I have always maintained a healthy life. Yes, I drink alcohol, eat bad food, but I do it in moderation. I always find myself in the produce aisle not the processed aisle. Where are you at in the grocery store? Where are you with your physicality? Ask yourself, before you judge others.
I am not your keeper. If I do or do not wear a mask, it is not for you to say. Stay in your own lane.
>>>Unhealthy non exercise people stay in your lane.
***Healthy people, we know who we are, we dont wear masks.
