Vaping in AC

[Spikey]

So we had a 40th bday party in Atlantic City this weekend. Was a great time.. but was paranoid about running out of batteries all weekend even tho I had 2 chargers for 2 models with me. I had 6 charged batteries when I left Fri morn and charged one more in the car on the way down w/a power coverter in the car charger outlet.

So let me be brief cause I am exhausted (no sleep for 36 hours then babysitting for my niece and nephew).

Pit Bosses were cool with it.

Craps Dealers asked what it was (black or platinum w/blue LED). Pit Bosses asked why they didn't read the memo on electronic cigarettes.

One B*TCH dealer kept going... "I don't care what you say.. that stinks and it smells like smoke. You should not be using it in here. The smoke endangers everyone around you's health. Why can't you just quit? Are you too weak to quit like everyone else?". So I made it a point to vape and blow it in her face after that speech (previously I had been exhaling behind me or on my sleeve so it would not cause any smokers to light up). I was SO annoyed at her (especially after the dealers and pit boss told her it was legal and did not produce "smoke" but "vapor".

Old security dude came up and said he "heard about those things" and could I show him how it works.

Coverted 2 Casino floor managers to vaping (they ordered on Sat and found me and told me before I left!). Gave out ALL my PureSmoker cards (but added other suppliers to the back of the card due to the Puremoker move) with the ECF website on the back.

Had an old lady start to lecture me on quitting smoking (she had an oxygen tank) and then realize it was not a cigarette and ask me what it was (took longer to explain to her than it did to teach my Dad how to use his universal remote!).

Vaped in the non-smoking room.

Had a few friends smell the vapor after the B*tch dealer complained and they said it smelled a little like sweet cigar or pipe smoke. The Vanilla does that I think... Methol does not seem to produce as much smell (banana did though.. and peach did a little).

Anyway... more positive than negative experiences down there... now I am really excited about the Vegas trip (will need more PureSmoker cards before May Steve!).

Gnite all....

Nice tale. I haven't been to AC in over thirty years. Sounds like you had a fun and educational trip. Cheers.

Spikey which casino were you at? Just curious, maybe on my next trip to AC I'll stop in there and play a little cards. I'm not surprised so many haven't heard of the Vaporizer in AC. Trump casino's were the 1st to start promoting them about weeks before the smoking ban went into effect and before they reversed the ban. My last trip to AC I was playing at one of his resorts and a security guard said she didn't know about them. I had absolutely no problems in Trump PLaza, Bally's and Wild Wild West.

So you 've experienced AC from the 'local' side, Spikey!! Welcome to my world. After the courteous dealer lectured you and after she was told by the boss, she should have been repremanded and removed from the table for harassing you. They are pretty touchy about the dealers getting too opinionated with clientele.
Being a local, I would like to appologize for the way you were treated, we are not all like that. : (

I know the pit bosses there, but they changed a LOt of the dealers there over the last 4 months. I usually go with $1000 for a weekend.. but I am broke cause I spent that much on e-cigs (500 personal and 500 on bulk order for friends) since Jan when I started vaping. I was not a "big spender" this weekend and was not really there to gamble anyway... so it did not bother me.. but she did REALLY kill the vibe of the whole table (for those who know how to play craps) and made the table crap out on a really good roll because of her NASTY attitude.. other people lost a LOT of money,... but I was not playing big this weekend.

..... lady was at the Showboat (which is notorious for it's "nonsmokingness" and VERY small smoking section) and the other place I went was Borgata. I was playign bigger $ there... but more people there knew what it was (and I was at a smoking table at the Borgata so less people bothered me).

I did vape at Trump Taj Mahal a little... in the buffet (but discreetly). No problems there. (By the way.. buffet there sucks.. don't do it!).

Wow I didn't realize they banned smoking in the AC casino's? Last time I was there you could still smoke.

 

[Flitzanu]

wow, smoking ban in casinos? yeah, one vice at a time people, jeez.

 

[Effex132]

I'm actually heading there next month, staying at the Taj for the weekend. Hopefully some of the dealers will be more open-minded about it then

It is not currently banned. They banned it then they allowed it again.

most non-smoker's just won't be satisfied until all venues and business are smoke free. even if they're empty. sad.

I don't think they will even be satisified after that. These type of people just need something to ..... about or they're not happy.

 

[Khandurian]

Strange the would ban smoking in AC casino. On the gambling boats they bring you an ashtray if they see you light up. I haven't been on the boat since I started vaping, but it could be an interesting experience!

lol taj buffet is really bad

One can still smoke in Iowa casinos, but only in limited areas. Surprised AC casinos haven't become all that aware of e-cigs. They sell the disposables on our casino. They want to keep their customers who smoke. I did read casinos where smoking is banned are hurting in the revenue department. People just head for the indian casinos where available.

 

[webtaxman]

A new Indian Casino recently opened up near me. Large 2 story structure.
No smoking on first floor; have at it on second floor. Now that is a compromise that actually makes sense. Bono from U2 stated "compromise" is not a dirty word. I wonder who first said that? It surely wasn't Bono's creation???? That wouldn't make much sense.

I have not been to AC in many years...I rather go to Vegas anytime, and I am only 2 hour drive from AC and would rather hop on a plane to vegas..but just curious if smoking is allowed why did they give you such a hard time especially the dealer?

Why was the dealer complaining about the smell? I do admit depending upon what juice you use it does sometimes put out a faint odor for a few seconds but it is nothing like real analog smoke

and in Vegas people are smoking all the time on the casino floors and no one ever complains that I recall? in fact you can only smoke on the casino floors?


What happened to AC??
