Yes, smoking permitted on the casino floor only. We stay at Paris where they have a cigar bar. There are bars that are actually on the floor where you can smoke as well (hubby can have a cigar if he wishes). And, of course, if you have a smoking room. Enjoy yourselves. We always meet some awfully nice and fun people there. It’s the people, I suppose. :-) Nevada law permits smoking in bars that do not serve food (what percentage of revenue, I don’t know) as well. They just have signs that say, “No Smoking” or “Nevada law prohibits smoking in this area.” Nevada’s no-smoking signs does not have a “snitch” line phone number for reporting your fellow citizen to the State Department of Health. Nevada’s law is at least SENSIBLE, which is what everyone wants. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. I want to go again. :-)
In case you are not familiar with the PBR it is Professional Bull Riding. The finals are in LV every year. My husband raises rodeo bulls and some of his (bull) boys buck there every year. We don’t go for the gambling or the shows OR the smoking. Most hotels are arranged so that you cannot get anywhere without going through the Casinos so there is no way to avoid the smoke but I do expect to maybe have a meal without breathing smoke this year. We usually spend almost 2 weeks there, this year I begged off to one long weekend.
