Las Vegas is known as a city of excess, but one of the most luxurious resorts on the Las Vegas Strip is taking a stand against smoking at its gaming tables. The Venetian and Palazzo Resorts, owned by Las Vegas Sands Corporation, recently announced that they will be implementing a no-smoking policy at their gaming tables. This policy will go into effect on June 1, 2020.

The Venetian and Palazzo Resorts have long been known for their luxurious accommodations and high-end gaming experiences. However, the resorts have also been known for allowing smoking at their gaming tables. This has been a source of contention for some patrons, as smoking can be a distraction and even a health hazard for those who do not smoke.

The new policy will prohibit smoking at all gaming tables, including poker, blackjack, roulette, and other table games. Smoking will still be allowed in designated areas outside of the gaming floor. The resorts are also encouraging patrons to use e-cigarettes and vaping devices in these designated areas.

The Venetian and Palazzo Resorts are not the first casinos in Las Vegas to implement a no-smoking policy at their gaming tables. Several other casinos have already implemented similar policies, including the MGM Grand, Caesars Palace, and The Mirage. However, the Venetian and Palazzo Resorts are the first to implement such a policy on the Las Vegas Strip.

The new policy is being applauded by many patrons who have been frustrated by the presence of smoking at gaming tables. It is also being seen as a sign that the resorts are taking the health of their patrons seriously. The policy is expected to be welcomed by many visitors to Las Vegas who may have been deterred from visiting the resorts due to their smoking policies.

Overall, the new no-smoking policy at the Venetian and Palazzo Resorts is a positive step forward for Las Vegas. It is a sign that the resorts are taking the health of their patrons seriously and are willing to make changes to ensure that everyone can enjoy their gaming experience in a safe and comfortable environment.
