Vaping in Vegas, smoking in CA!

[Mohave]

I'm going on a search to see if there is a list made up somewhere.

I'd like to see it if you come up with one. I regularly travel into the nation's coastal asylum.

Agnes, where are you? I'm outside of Valley Springs. There's a smoking room at the Valley Inn here.

Also, since this is a Vegas thread.....I'm going soon.....and the Excalibur has a no smoking policy. Has anyone vaped there?

Thanks!

No, but I have stepped out of the poker room a few feet into the slots for a cigarette or three many times. Someone has misinformed you. There is no such thing as a casino in Las Vegas which has a no smoking policy for any legal substance on the casino gaming floor. Restaurants and hallways and such, yes, but on the casino floor, no way; you'll find that ashtrays are only outnumbered by slot machines and cocktail glasses.

If some tourist wishes to become outraged at your use of an e-cig, or any other sort of cig for that matter, you are free to suggest they leave for some place they find more comfortable, perhaps Utah, with or without a request that they also perform an anatomically challenging act when they do so, or if you prefer casino security can suggest it to them for you. Las Vegas is definitely NOT in California, in spite of what a few visitors may sometimes want to believe.

There was a small non-smoking casino in Las Vegas once several years ago (can't remember the name) but it quickly died due to lack of business, if not outright hostility. I understand there is one little casino in the state somewhere far up north by Lake Tahoe that was planning to go non-smoking. In Las Vegas, you may see some specially designated non-smoking tables in the pit in some places, and perhaps in a few casinos a designated separate non-smoking area of slots, but outside of of few of those specially marked areas you will not have any trouble using a device that resembles a cigarette or pipe, at the Excalibur or in any other casino, unless you are inside the close quarters of most poker rooms.

Enjoy your visit.

The Excalibur does a Medieval Jousting show, probably smoking is banned because of the horses! Their website states their no smoking policy. I'm sure that as long as I cover up the LED, no one will even notice...all the lights will be on the arena.

The horseys and the kiddies I suppose. Looks like "family" entertainment, and the Excal is more of a "family oriented" property than most on the Strip. I just looked at the website and didn't find the no smoking info, but I'm sure you're right about that.

It's a dinner show, and not in a gaming area. State law in Nevada changed a few years ago to make any public areas where food is served or children are allowed non-smoking. But the gaming areas making up most of the casino are completely exempt from that, and you'll find people at the blackjack or craps tables or the slots, places where children are not allowed, smoking up a storm with their complementary adult beverages while doing their best to squander the precious little spawn's inheritance or college fund.

Enjoy.

Nobody even noticed my penstyle! I vaped everywhere, even on the plane! Discretion is the better part of valor!

On the plane to Las Vegas? About 98.67% of the passengers were drunk within ten minutes or so after "wheels up & seatbelt light off" weren't they? Folks in Las Vegas don't notice much unless it has flashing lights & ringing bells and cash or booze is involved. Hope you enjoyed your trip; come back to visit your money again soon.

I've smoked analogs many times in Excalibur, I lived in Vegas for three years and left in March of this year, if there is a no-smoking policy there then its within the last few months that it was implemented

I'm headed back in December for a few days, eager to vape in the airport, plane, casinos, hotel rooms, concerts and well.. everywhere

not eager to smell the analogs on smokers for hours on end at the poker tables after their smoke breaks, but I can't say anything about it because that used to be me. I do have first hand reports from some of my old poker pro friends still out there in vegas grinding it out, that at least at the Hard Rock, you CAN vape at the poker table! be sure to ask the floor manager first, of course.

Don't be fooled. There are lots of smoking bars in CA. Yeah they may have made a law against it but people don't care and the cops don't care as well. If the bar allowed smoking before then they probably still allow it now. They'll even give you an ashtray. I've even see cops come into a few bars that are filled with smokers and smoke and they don't even care. They are probably looking for someone in particular and could care less about the smoking.

The majority rules over here. It's mainly the higher end bars that don't allow smoking. So there you have it. CA's dirty little secret.
