The Saipan Vegas Resort has joined the list of those who has offered its help in the wake of Super Typhoon Yutu.<\/p>\n
In the spirit of recovery, the Saipan Vegas Resort has opened its well to those still in need of non-drinking water post-Super Typhoon Yutu. <\/p>\n
According to Mariana Entertainment LLC consultant Gus Noble, since the Saipan Vegas Resort\u2019s golf course has its own deep well for irrigation purposes, \u201cwe were able to work with the government, Bureau of Environment and Coastal Quality, to provide non-drinking water to the public.\u201d <\/p>\n
Noble said that Saipan Vegas Resort\u2019s deep well is open to the public every afternoon from 1pm to 4pm and will remain open until the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. gets water completely up and running. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are happy to provide that as part of our help to the community,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Noble reported that many have already visited Saipan Vegas Resort to obtain water since they opened their well to the public. <\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough CUC is starting to come online now\u2014they have been doing an amazing job\u2014we still have a lot of people coming in everyday to get water,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Aside from offering non-potable water, Saipan Vegas Resort has also helped its own staff, providing them with a little care package that contained some relief goods, dry goods and some candies for the children. <\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things we are very proud of is\u2026that we are a 100-percent local and U.S. worker employer and we really value our employees\u2026We provided everyone with [care packages] for every single employee we have [to] give a little bit of help in this difficult time,\u201d said Noble. <\/p>\n
Saipan Vegas Resort itself sustained major damage as a result of Super Typhoon Yutu but it was able to bounce back almost immediately. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe second story of the building got pretty beaten up but the building itself is a really strong concrete building\u2026We lost seven rooms but that was only because the rooms were so strong\u2026it didn’t break the windows, it pushed them out of the frames\u2026Within two weeks, we were able to get all those rooms back up\u2026We were able to recover from the typhoon fairly quickly,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith our own generator and our own water supply\u2026we actually never shut down during or after the typhoon\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
Saipan Vegas Resort offers a local discount of only $40 a night and is open to those seeking emergency accommodation. Residents must provide a locally issued ID upon check in.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re a good alternative and we will maintain that very affordable price,\u201d said Noble. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
