As of 1/1/08 all Illinois casinos are smoke-free as there is no
exemption for casinos to the new state law banning smoking in all
public buildings.

Didn't Iowa also parallel Illinois? Canada casinos went smoke-free what last
January? Atlantic City is what 50%(?) floor space now smoke-free?

Down in Laughlin there are several spots to play decent VP and even table
games in a smoke-free environment. Let's see:

Riverside has the south casino which has a couple of BJ tables and roulette.
The bartops have $1 NSUD (quarters are Illini Deuces) as the best VP play.

Aquarius has a section of old clunkers with playable VP right by the
lobby/foyer.

Harrahs-L has their own smoke-free north casino. Bartops are bad 97% stuff,
but their floor is just fine for VP. They open the table games mid-morning.

My favorite clean air VP play is in the Boiler Room restaurant in Colorado
Belle. These bartops feature Bonus 8/5 from quarter to $5 single line games.
Nevada restaurants are smoke-free. Food starts at 4pm, bar opens at 11am.

Vegas- I thought the Four Queens Chicago Brewing Company would fall under
the restaurant classification, but there is a cigar bar exception to the one
year old state law.

NO, unfortunately!!! I was sitting at my normal spot the other day...9
machines at the bar, progressive 25C DDB. 7 players, me being the
only non smoker. As much as I don't like our local Ill. casino as well
& it's no where near as convenient for location, I'm seriously thinking
of going across the river to play. As far as I know, there's no
mention of Iowa going non smoking...sure wish there was. And yes, I
know, the smoking thing has already been hashed on on this site, no
need to restart it.
