Gaming Loyalty Programs - Nov. 16 Is Last Day To Breathe In AC

The 5-4 vote overturned the council's unanimous decision in April to ban smoking at all 11 Atlantic City casinos, instead choosing to revisit the ban in a year with hopes that the country's economic crisis has subsided.

The measure was immediately signed into law by outgoing Mayor Scott Evans in his office five floors above council chambers.

Gotta love Atlantic City politics. The big one month smoking ban. :p

Thought my September trip would be the last where I could enjoy a Cognac and Davidoff Cigar @ the dice table.

Though, quite frankly, considering you could only smoke on 25% of the casino floor in Atlantic City (last 1.5 years), it is probably one of the most non-smoker friendly casino destinations in the world.

I don't think any casino jurisdiction should be forced to go 100% non-smoking until there is clarification over tribal casinos going 100% non-smoking. I have no issue with casinos going non-smoking, I just want it to be a fair and across the board solution; so no individual destination gets a "smokers" advantage (or the ability to ignore a state's non-smoking laws due to "sovereign nation" status).

From what I can tell AC is going 100 percent smoking. Please tell me I'm wrong.

According to the New York Times, you're wrong:

It appears that the casinos will revert to the 75/25 arrangement in mid-November.
