Cool Are there any non-smoking blackjack tables in Reno or Lake Tahoe?

I was just wondering if anybody new a place that offered non-smoking tables.
I personally do not know of any place in the Reno and Lake Tahoe Area that currently offer non-smoking tables and I would like that to change. I believe that writing in customer forms to have non-smoking table will start to change the beliefs of other people.

Default They're all over

Most of the big clubs have non-smoking areas, e.g. Legacy, El Dorado and Peppermill etc. On the other side, smokiest house in thr Reno area-bar none-is Rail City(aka. Inhale City)

Siena has really good ventilation, so the smoke isn't too terrible.

I've heard rumors of casinos going to non-smoking. Anyone else heard anything?

Default They're half way there!

To my astonishment this past Christmas, New Years week in Reno I was bombarded with NO SMOKING signs all over in the casinos. Looks like they passed a state-wide initiative in Nov. that restricts smoking in casinos to the gaming floor and one's room only. No more halls, restaurants or other public areas. It's getting scary!! You guys better spank you kids(and wives) now before thay get around to that.

I'm having trouble reading your post, is that a good or a bad thing for you?
Its scary because you can't smoke in those places anymore?

Default Around to...

More restrictions upon our personal lives. I think some idiot politician in NJ(?) is proposing a ban on smoking in your own car with kids, and another lame-brain in Cal. is going to make it illegal to spank your kids. The Nevada casinos are perfect examples of true capitalism and if the market bears smoking restrictions or modifications they will be the first to implement them as needed, not big brother in Carson City.I smoke ,so it is an inconvience to leave the coffee shop etc. for a butt and to remember to snuff it as I'm leaving my room while relighting on the casino floor. The fundamental point I was making is that smoking is the "cause du jour", but what's next?

Gotcha, I can see where you're coming from. I do agree with the restauraunt and hallway policy though. It has been proven that second hand smoke causes lung cancer, so I see it fair to those who work in that industry (i.e. waitress) to work in a smoke free environment and prolongue her health.

One thing to consider though, think of how much more you could add to your bankroll if you quit smoking. How much are packs these days? Seems like you could use that money for something a lot more fun. My friends all drink and go to bars a lot. I use that money I could spend on booze for tangible things like my new big screen TV. I guess it is all in your priorities.

Your right Bob how dare the politicians protect the little ones who have no choice but to be in that vehicle! Since you don't want the government involved in the smoking debate I guess you won't mind that I bought the house next door to yours. I will be storing nuclear waste in my backyard and I'm happy that it won't bother you and that you won't want the authorities to get involved.
