Hello VP Players.
My name is Elaine Rose and I'm a reporter for the Press of Atlantic
City. I'm also lurking on vpFREE.
I'm doing a story on the upcoming vote in the New Jersey legislature
about an indoor smoking ban and how it will affect casino business. A
couple people have posted that if Atlantic City goes smoke-free, they
will come to New Jersey instead of Nevada to gamble. I'm interested in
talking to non-smokers who do not live on the East Coast about whether
a smoking ban would lure you to AC instead of Vegas. Would a smoke-free
environment make Atlantic City more desirable, or is Vegas otherwise so
wonderful that you'll put up with the smoke to experience it?
Also, if any of you are smokers who currently gamble in Atlantic
City, would the ban make you stop coming and head to Vegas or another
jurisdiction instead?
You can reach me at (609) 272-7215 or by e-mail at
<erose_@_pressofac.com> (remove _ _) with a number where I can call you.
Thanks for your help.
