My wife and I are both "7 Star" players (both smokers) at Harrah casinos in Atlantic City. I just heard that even though AC has elected to postpone smoking ban 1 year Harrahs will still ban. I don't know what idiot executive from Harrahs made this decision,
Harrahs utilizes electronic tracking of play. I'm sure they can also tell the amount of play in smoking vs nonsmoking areas. Without the electronic tracking a simple walk through the casino floor would show smoking areas full and nonsmoking areas empty.
I guess Harrahs doesn't want our business any more.

I agree with R Bed. My husband and I are both smokers and we play at the Showboat. If Harrahs continues the smoking ban, we will DEFINITELY take our business somewhere else.

I applaud Harrah's for taking steps toward a smoking ban. I think more people wil come if they do not have to be subjected to second hand smoke that poisons your lungs and stinks up your clothes!
Non-smokers unite!

I have been waiting for Oct. 15 for a long time. I decided when I heard that the ban was delayed a year to stop coming to AC. We have casinos in PA that right now are 75/25 supposedly. I was at Harrah's in Chester last evening and they're trying to keep the smoking along the rims of the casino. It still affects me. I start coughing before I realize I can smell the smoke. I never go into the smoking sections knowingly. I have a room booked in November, and that will be my last trip if Harrah's doesn't go smoke free. It costs so much to go to AC with all the tolls, and it's a lot closer in PA. I feel AC council did not have the health of customers at heart but big business. I know of other non-smokers who are now not going to AC. We all feel betrayed. I hope Harrah's does decide to stay smoke free.

While you non smokers are there in your smoke free environment can you abstain from blowing you bad breath breath in people's faces and farting so that those of us with good manors don't keel over dead from the fumes? Aslo double up on the deoderant and cool down on the perfume and after shave. Also ride your bikes so as to not cause further polutions in the air. That would help the air to be free and fresh as well.

Why must you smokers be so rude in your comments? Isn't there any way that you can answer in an intelligent manner?
