With that in mind, I wanted to put together a guide outlining smoke-free casinos in Las Vegas and casinos I frequently visit that are “less smokey”. While smoking amongst gamblers is common, the majority of visitors to Las Vegas are non-smokers, many of which prefer not to be exposed to smoke as they play. Per a University of Connecticut study, smoking is proven to increase gambling, even causing people to “crave” the activity. The RIO Gaming Plaza is the first of its kind at the Worlds Biggest Casino a winning destination unto itself with one major difference: its non-smoking. While indoor smoking is illegal across much of the country, gamblers are still able to light up in Las Vegas casinos to the dismay of non-smokers around them.Ĭasinos defend the policy of allowing smoking because they think it helps their business. The Nevada Clean Air Act outlaws smoking indoors with the exception of tobacco stores, strip clubs, private residences, some stand-alone bars, and of course, casinos.
