our area. And there have been quite a few who tried. There were people here when the smoking ban was on the ballot who kept pushing that 'smoking bans don't hurt business' meme on the business owners in our area. As I already said, quite a few did go out of business. What the hell is wrong with people having a choice?

There are hotels in Vegas that are not attached to casinos, btw. I just did a search for non casino hotels in Vegas and it returned over 9 pages. I noticed several that are chains known to me to be entire non smoking hotels. There are also casinos here where the path from the registration desk to the hotel elevators does not not require walking through the casino area.

I like the way our state did their law. It seems to work for us. I'm glad your state's laws are working for you.
