Firefighter: I agree with you and the Ladies who wish there could be a non-smoking area in the SR lounge…for all the health, smell, and sanitary reasons. But Nevada is indeed probably afraid as you say, of decreasing revenue if such a law were enacted…and they should be.
When the beautiful Revel Casino/Hotel opened in Atlantic City in 2012, it was the first-ever smoke-free casino in AC. People stayed away in droves. Surveys showed the lack of smoking areas was a big reason. So in late 2013 they reversed course and allowed smoking…..too late. They went bankrupt twice and closed for good in September 2014. $2 billion…down the drain.
There’s science…and then there’s reality….reality always wins.
In this modern era, there are excellent ventilation and negative-pressure air systems that are so effective in removing smoke that you can literally sit next to a patron who is smoking in such a room, and their smoke is literally going straight up to the ceiling. That’s what the best casinos do and SR could install. Everyone wins.
