According to a Philadelphia Inquirer article, the Atlantic City Council voted unanimously to ban smoking on the floor of every casino in Atlantic City. The ban will go in effect as early as April 15.

Last week, Nevada Judge Douglas Herndon upheld the new anti-smoking law. Although he threw out any criminal penalties associated with smoking in the wrong places, those who violate the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act can be slapped with a $100 fine for each infraction.

Casinos, strip clubs, and standalone bars in Las Vegas still allow smoking. However, there are some exceptions. Poker rooms are almost all smoke-free. The Orleans allows smoking in the poker room from Midnight to 8am and Fiesta Station has 24 hour smoking in their poker room.

Maybe Las Vegas should launch a campaign to target heavily addicted smoking gamblers from the East Coast?

"Come to Las Vegas, where you can smoke three packs a day while you play and then get a hooker afterwards!"
