We just got back from Harrahs Laughlin. Great no smoking room. Nice

because it is not upstairs from the smoking room...don't these people
know smoke rises?? Sometimes the smell in upstairs is really bad. The
cigar smoke is the worst.

How would you compare the number of patron on each floor. Was the
non smoking floor considerably less busy?

Re: Cigar smoke. At one casion there is a regular that smokes those
smaller cigars that are soaked in urine, oops I mean rum or something
like that. He stinks up two machines up wind and all machines
downwind. Everybody complains, he just says f*** you and management
will not do anything.

The smoking room was WAY more crowded than nonsmoking all the time. Even the nonsmokers were in the smoking casino complaining about the smoke. The nonsmoking had good vp as stated earlier. That is okay...more machines for me.:slight_smile:

Jean-
   
     come to Atlantic City next year. It was all over the Philadelphia news last night. The city counsel in Atlantic City is doing an ordnance to make the casino's smoke-free, probably in January or February. Its because of the health of the worker's. Some have gotten lung cancer, emphasema and other diseases from working in the casino's. The news at the hearing said almost everyone was in favor of passing this law.
     I guess we'll find out soon enough what it does. But the people there are saying that after a short drop in business, it goes way up again. The smoker's learn to go outside to smoke, just like they do in supermarket's, hospital's and everything, and more non-smoker's will come.
     The casino's will probably like it to. My company ran a benefits seminar today, and they're going to make smoker's pay $90 a month more for their health plan. They said smoking employees cost the average company $3,000 a year extra in medical costs.

          I never thought we'd see so many poker rooms go smokeless. So I think perhaps non-smoking casinos may eventually be common - but perhaps not in my lifetime unless I live to be very old. There is a growing concern about the health issue for casino employees.

Thanks for the heads up on this news, Ned. I found a NY Times article
from yesterday: http://tinyurl.com/ttuks

After a very exhaustive day on vacation that left me with a modest
case of either heat stroke or food poisoning from a box lunch
purchased at a roadside vendor, this was a tremendous pick-me-up!
(Hawaii Day 8 -- now desperately attempting to contrive a means by
which to defer Sunday's return :slight_smile:
