Then, there are places like Las Vegas, for instance, that allow smoking in those areas where minors are prohibited according to the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act from 2006. That is why many casinos across the US don’t allow smoking on gaming floors any longer, while some have designated areas for smokers.
In fact, one study showed that 50% of the casinos sampled had very high air pollution levels despite adequate ventilation measures.Īs a result, a number of smoke-free policies have been implemented over the last few years.

In fact, the casino industry generated gross revenue of $30 billion in 2020 alone.
