I hope that these idiots from Berkeley fail...If they really wanted to champion a cause that does irreparable harm to individuals, they would center on brothels, drinking, and gambling.

You have to disable ad blockers to read it...I would copy and paste the article, but having once been a target of lawyers representing the Las Vegas review and urinal for $250,000.00, not in a hurry to copy anything from their websites.

Since I wouldn't be caught dead in a casino, I don't care. No place I want to go allows smoking anyway, and I only like to smoke at home. It just shows how much the South has changed since I was a kid that casinos have become acceptable entertainment for otherwise decent people. I know that nobody on here wants to hear that, but it's my honest opinion. Just one part of this once great country's trip to hell.

God and Texas!

I rarely go to casino's myself Ron, but in regards to our hobby, it would be quite a hit to the West Coast Pipe Show if smoking was off limits. I spend 0% of the time on the casino floor only to walk to the venue itself.

I can see that. As long as there are smoking rooms available for the convention goers I don't have a problem with smoking on the casino floor or in the restaurants. I don't like smoking in restaurants as you are unlikely to get a pipe smoker at the next table instead of a stinky cigar or 10 cigarette chain smokers. We should be able to designate a place safe for people who want to smoke.

Even here in Nevada you can't smoke in restaurants anymore, which is fine with me. I have a favorite casino bar that I like to smoke in. It's a nice small lounge area. Feels like cheers, they all know my name.hehe.
