If Vegas hotels/casinos allow smoking everywhere, it will SERIOUSLY lower Vegas on my vacation list.

the air filtration systems in the casino are insane. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and i have no problem in the casinos in vegas, you don't even smell it.

While I rarely smell it, I find that when I get back home ALL my clothes stink of smoke. Even if I never wore them. Plus, during the winter, either the filtration isn't as good or maybe I just don't leave the casino as much because I end up needing more throat lozenges and/or benadryl.

When they passed a fairly tough no smoking law here in Colorado, they exempted the casinos.
I know I'm in a tiny minority here, but I just don't understand the Las Vegas thing -- unless you just like to live in the desert.
I've been there probably 30-40 times on business (conventions, etc.) and just dread going back.
If someone was going to give me a vacation, I'd ask if I could go somewhere else.

There were only two things I didn't like about Las Vegas:
1. The smoking. It REALLY bothers me, and it is EVERYWHERE in LV.
2. It's impossible to get around. They make hotels into mazes. All routes lead to the casino. You can't get out! Can you imagine if there was a fire at one of the casinos?

Actually, as was mentioned above somewhere, there was a fatal fire some years ago at the old MGM Grand -- but it was on upper floors, not in the casino.

Actually, the fire at the old MGM Grand (now Bally's) started in a deli off the casino and got into the false ceiling. When it flashed over it took out the casino. Many more died from smoke inhalation.

I'm going to Vegas in less than 20 days!
It'll be my second trip...but I'm pretty excited about this trip because last time I went with my parents. My father had a conference and mom didn't want to go by herself...so I was a good daughter and volunteered to go with her.
I don't know if the hotel room can handle all the hotness that will be crammed into it.

Correct me if I am wrong AlphaSigOU but many of them died because there were no sprinklers installed in the hotel. The MGM fire actually led to stricter firecode laws.
As to not being able to find your way out. I never have had that problem, but I did grow up there.
