The Search for Smoke-Free Casinos in Las Vegas
Looking for smoke free casinos in Las Vegas? It can’t just be me, right? You found a lucky slot machine, are enjoying a few cocktails, and are in your Las Vegas element. Then, a plume of smoke is kindly delivered from the grumpy-looking patron who has just found the machine next to you.
Smoke Free Casinos in Las Vegas
That’s a great question, why does the smoking slot machine player always look so grumpy? I digress. There must be a casino somewhere in Las Vegas that realizes that there are some of us who do not want to ingest second-hand smoke for the hours we are going to spend on the casino floor.
Well, I wish I had better news, but entirely smoke-free casinos have not yet arrived to the Las Vegas Strip. There is one exception, The Park MGM appears to be the only large casino on the Strip that bans smoking indoors.
However, good news, many, if not most of the other casinos offer “smoke-free zones”, a step in the right direction if you ask me. Now, in my experience, smoke is not very respectful when asked to stay in a zone, however, some casinos have done an excellent job of making your experience feel almost smoke-free.
Here are some tips for not letting the smoke ruin your next Las Vegas vacation
- Seek the Smoke-Free Zones – Just ask. Most of the floor attendants in any casino know where the best ventilation is on the casino floor.
- Eyedrops – A complete life-saver, especially the next morning. Your eyes will thank you for being shown a little TLC.
- Allergy Medicine – I am a little sensitive to smoke and other pollutants in casinos. A little allergy medicine not only helps with the smoke but it helps with everything else floating around in the Vegas air.
- Cough Drops – Smoke wreaks havoc on my throat. A cough drop every now and then seems to help.
- Your Favorite Fragrance – Whether its perfume or cologne, you need something to fight the smell of smoke that finds its way into your hair and clothes. Nothing worse than getting back to your hotel rooms and smelling like a cigarette, even worse when you wake up the next day.
Smoking doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon but maybe some of these items will make your next Las Vegas adventure feel a little more sanitary.
Las Vegas Hotel Properties with Great Smoke Ventilation
Looking for hotels with good air quality in Las Vegas? As I mentioned earlier, there aren’t a ton of smoke-free options, however – these are the Las Vegas hotel properties that we’ve found to have fresh air circulation and seem to be less smoky than some of the others:
- The Venetian and The Palazzo Hotel Casino Properties
- Paris Hotel & Casino
- The Cromwell Hotel & Casino
- The Linq Hotel & Casino
- The Cosmopolitan Hotel & Casino
Of course, your experience might vary, but in our experience, these are the Las Vegas hotel properties that are the least smoky. Hopefully you find your favorite slot machines in one of the casinos that are the least smoky.
