Mad as a wet hen

[Majhano]

Yesterday I stopped by the casino for a few hours of fun. I was playing and from out of now where a securith guard comes up and asks me if that is a electronic ciggarette I am using. I say yes and he then tells me that I can't use it in the casino (I was in the smoking section). I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Seriously! you can smoke a cigarette but not use a pv?? how does that make sense?

 

[Belletrist]

wha? in a casino?

 

[voltaire]

It may have to do with not being allowed to use electronics at the table. Were you playing poker?

That sux! i was in a casino recently in NM and everyone was smoking. I was using my VK and the 21 dealer was interested so I gave him a V4L card. Wasn't hassled in the least.

Unless your state has banned e-cigs, feel free to post the name and e-mail address of the casino....and we can all send a message stating how we will never step foot in their dump and will make sure we tell everyone else about it too.

I was just playing the slots. The name of the casino is Northertn Quest Resort in Airwayheights, WA the addy is Northern Quest Resort & Casino . I even questioned to get it straight that I could smoke a cancer stick but I coiuld not vape ny 0 nic PV. I just couldn't believe it. I could understand if it was in the non-smoking section. I think it is silly but I can understand it. That is a place that I will avoid in the future. I just can't imagine what they could be thinking.

That's just wrong then, I would talk to management about that. Or just use an ecig that looks like an analog (white w/ red LED) it's not like they have signs up forbidding ecigs, so the worst that can happen is they ask you stop.

In a casino. In a smoking area. And you can't vape? That's just mind boggling. Personally, I'd have to at least talk to someone there who could tell me what the hell their reasoning is behind that policy.

The don't permit the use of most other computers either. There is a ton of computing power there that I could use for all kinds of nefarious purposes, especially in that form-factor.

I now want to go to the casino with 'lynn and a blackberry.....

 

[Adrenalynn]

I know you're playing, but I'll play straight in response...

Naw, there's only one casino I go to in one particular place. We understand each other and the couple tables they have that are low dollar with very small boots. They let me take some carefully calculated payout because it's good for their business, they buy me dinner, and I don't come back [to play] more than once a year tops. We get along great because we both understand how it's played. Going in with a [non-biological] computer makes 'em cranky. Remember - they have access to all the technology (ie. counter-technology) in the world, and staff that is focused on protecting that investment that are specialists in doing just that very thing.

Maybe the goon thinks the battery can be aimed at the slot machine and cause it to spit out mega money. haha.

Take your arm off and beat you with it, they will!

ive been to northern quest a few times and used my VK.
never had a problem. security guards watched me.. because i was walking from the back ballroom to the casino floor while vaping.

you just got someone being a jerk

 

[lairkeeper]

Now I just wanna go to the casino with 'lynn....to heck with the blackberry LOL

 

[Adrenalynn]

Or a policy that got established either preventative or given some issue. I've got to admit that I had considered it, so the speed with which they've responded to the threat is surprising to me - but defends my earlier statements...

Lair' - all that squeeeeeing makes it hard to focus.

 

[macscac]

its possible... i have not been there since end of november.

PA just recently legalized and built some casinos....and I haven't been in any of them. Do they ban cell phones too?
