Question of the Day - 17 May 2024

Q:

Are there any hotels on the Vegas Strip that still have smoking rooms available?

A:

Very few hotels still permit the smoking habit in their hotel rooms. We called several dozen up and down the Las Vegas Strip and got mostly negative responses. Smoking has become the privilege of the upper crust, it seems.

For instance, you can light up in an Aria Sky Suite or on the designated smoking floor of Bellagio, two of MGM Resorts’ premier properties on the Strip. But anywhere else in the MGM portfolio? Forget it. Not even at Excalibur, which shows you how far the nation has moved away from indulging smokers.

Continuing the trend of smoking as a perk of wealth, Encore has two smoking floors and identical-twin Wynn has one.

Caesars Entertainment has gone completely smoke-free in its hotels. So it’s non, pas de fumer at Paris-Las Vegas and a no-no at Nobu. Ditto the rest of the Caesars flotilla. 

Toward the lower end of the spectrum, Sahara has “limited” smoking rooms, which we found out via Google, while on an unanswered, five-minute, phone hold. And if you’re really desperate to light up, low-end OYO has “a few” smoking rooms. The only other refuge for the smoker in search of a hotel room on the Strip is Treasure Island, where smoking is permitted on the hotel’s topmost 36th floor.

If you smoke anywhere other than the places we’ve listed, beware. Sizable fines ($300 and higher) lie in wait for those who light up in non-smoking hotel rooms, whether it's tobacco or cannabis. Just so you know.

    Vegas smoker
    I do smoke when I am in Vegas, but I won't book a smoking room even if one is available. These rooms are small and smoked in all the time. It's like sleeping in an ashtray. I can wait until I get down to the casino to light up.

    Casinos should also be smoke free. Less than 13% of the population still smoke.

    Limited smoking rooms - GOOD!
    Rooms smell terrible where smokers do in fact smoke, whether it be tobacco or cannabis. And it permeates the hallway nearby. No thanks. As a cigar smoker, I don’t at all mind the extra effort involved in finding cigar lounges (Chicago Brewery at Four Queens is my favorite), and I don’t feel my “freedom is being limited” by casinos not allowing me to light up at the tables or machines. Basic respect for others.

    notify someone
    If your room smells of cig smoke when you check in, don't just put up with it.  Call "guest services", which will likely connect you to housekeeping, which will offer to use a 'fumigator' to eliminate what was probably fumes left from a previous guest.  This happened to us once at Bellagio.  Had requested a non-smoking room and the floor sign said "non-smoking" but the room was stinko.  They offered to re-assign us another room right away or see what the defogger would do. I was skeptical, but we did not unpack and went to the casino for what they said would take an hour to fumigate.  Was very surprised (and pleased) that when we returned the smell was totally gone, never came back.  Another reason to report it is so YOU won't be charged the $300 fee because the previous guest smoked in the room.

    Smoking in casinos
    I once saw a guy smoking a cigar out in front of Ballys (back when it was called Ballys) ask an employee if there was an ashtray nearby.  The employee said "You can smoke inside".  The person said "It already stinks of cigarettes inside".  Why stink up a hotel room with cigarette smell when the casino already stinks???
