LAS VEGAS—The bellman at the Bellagio Resort & Casino was frank with the couple in line to check their bags early Wednesday morning. It was the strangest site I’ve seen since MGM installed those handwashing stations on the casino floor when Las Vegas casinos reopened in June 2020 after the pandemic closure. At the luxe Bellagio, home to the famous fountain show, the reservations desk for the Cirque du Soleil show “O" told visitors who wanted tickets they needed cash or could book through Ticketmaster. Stephanie Bayer was blissfully unaware of MGM’s computer issues when she plopped down at a Wizard of Oz slot machine at Bellagio Wednesday morning to kill time before her friend’s flight arrived for a girl’s spa-and-show weekend.
