{"But it’s a different story for retail and restaurants at the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay and on the casino floor, employees say.
A shopping area filled with 30 businesses — including restaurants, bars and stores offering clothing, candy and souvenirs — the Shoppes connects Mandalay Bay to neighboring Luxor.
November through December is traditionally slow for Strip casinos, but workers at the Shoppes say that is not the only reason there are few shoppers.
“It is not just the holidays. People seem to be hesitant to come down this way (from Luxor),” said one store worker, who described hiding in a back room with customers as reports spread of an active shooter in the hotel on Oct. 1.
Several restaurants and amenities in the hotel are taking slightly longer breaks this holiday season, two people said.
The spa, which shut for five days last holiday season, will be closed for a month this year. DeShong said the spa is closed “for previously planned renovations.”
According to Mandalay Bay’s website, Fleur by Hubert Keller will be closed for lunch for six weeks through Dec. 28 and for dinner for three weeks through Dec. 22. Red Square and Lupo by Wolfgang Puck will be closed for two weeks in December, while Libertine Social just reopened after a two-week break.
A few miles away on the Strip, three restaurants at Wynn and Encore will be closed for 11 to 14 days in December.
Still, there was a short-term pall over Mandalay Bay."}

{"Mandalay Bay has since put many full-time workers on a so-called reserve list, in effect cutting their weekly work hours. MGM Resorts said the cuts affected several hundred of its roughly 7,000 workers.
The cuts, which affected the front desk, among other areas, led to nearly hourlong check-in lines around the CarMax event. But the check-in lines vanished when the convention was over.
To help mend its image and regain customers, the hotel has boosted security, including the addition of three permanent guards by the elevatorsleading up to rooms. One restaurant manager said more security has been added than the eye can see.
“There are more undercover security. The hotel didn’t want to make a big presence and scare everyone, so they put them in plainclothes,” he said."}

It can take quite a while for LV to fully recover. Especially when so many things remain unanswered or resolved.
