Interesting that some people think AC is smoke-free now. I wonder if that is because the media keeps using the term "smoking ban" rather than the more accurate "smoking restrictions." The one problem with this whole issue which can never be solved is there is no way to accurately determine how much lost revenue is due to smoking and how much is due to increased competition. If you go to Harrah's...

I don't like SHS and prefer to avoid it, but even so, I've been to Harrah's Chester twice since July. Why? Because it is someplace new to go and it is only 25 minutes away. I can go there, play and be back in 3-4 hours. I haven't yet taken my daughter, but I plan to bring her to watch ...

A smoking ban is going to happen there within the next ...

Has it occurred to you that those of us in favor of the restrictions are defending our own individual freedom?
