...for a smoke-free Strip casino. Just spent 5 days in Vegas and got home tonight. On day one (Sunday night) I got to the hotel lobby well away from the casino floor, spent less than 10 minutes checking in, then walked to my room which still avoided casino floor exposure. I noticed the smoke smell in the lobby and as I passed on small bar on my way to the elevators but its Vegas, one has to put up with this. Changed in the room and put those clothes in a drawer. Didn't use them again and packed them to go home this morning. Get home, open the bag and my wife specifically notes how smoky smelling my clothes from Sunday were. All from a hotel lobby and some public corridors.

This just has to stop. People all whining that resort or parking fees are going to get them, how about the smoke? How many people visit and say I'm never going again with this nonsense. Non-smoking sections of buildings are a joke when you can put up a bar in all corners where someone is toking away. Smoking is barred in most non-tribal casinos nationwide, how is not allowing smoking going to kill off Vegas visitors? How is it right that something that generates 30% of your revenue can't be risked to go smoke free at the expense of 100% of the experience at your resort?

Squeaky wheel. As soon as the subject comes up all the weak-willed who can't stop smoking even for a few hours start howling like a demented pack of nicotine hyped wolves.

I forget the name of it, but there's a small casino in North Las Vegas that has smoking and non-smoking sections. It's on the left side of Las Vegas Blvd North, so it's not hard to find.

Nic-fits are real.

You'd have to basically rebrand Las Vegas, aka Sin City. It's possible but it will take a lot of work when we're living in a culture of ignorance and Las Vegas is the glorification of that. Bliss.

I'm wondering where you were.

We pass through the higher end ones and don't smell smoke. We've been told they have very high end filtration systems. However it might be different if we sat down a gambled. I can see if you are sitting playing poker and someone is at your table, you would be affected by it

Now the lower end ones like Orleans are horrible to even pass through.

And casinos should also outlaw drinking, gambling, and excess of any type.

I remember being a kid in the 1960's, with plenty of tv, radio, and print ads telling of the dangers of smoking. And my grandmother constantly drilling in my head to never smoke, as she'd killed her lungs with the crap. And my parents smoking like crazy (what really kept me from touching the stuff), even sending me down to the corner store to buy them a carton or two. And telling all of us kids to never smoke. Even schools warning against it. I think it was impossible to not know just how bad smoking is for you.

I understand how those generations might have been sucked in, but anyone my age and younger? It just doesn't make sense why this is still such a big problem. Yet, it is.

I am a former smoker and when I quit I vowed I would never be that guy and complain about someone else's smoking. Now, though, I can't stand when someone sits next to me and fires one up. It just reeks.

There is a little place in Henderson call Club Fortune that we go to once in a while. It's a decent little place, mostly, but it has the worst smokey smell imaginable. We go over to Fiesta Henderson once in a while for dinner and I haven't noticed a smokey smell in there.

One thing I have noticed is that it seems fewer people are smoking these days and I see more people with the ecigs and vaping devices which don't seem to have any smell to them.

That doesn't stop people from complaining about them.

Except for now there are reports out saying vaping is full of toxins including lead. So second hand vape now?
