List Of Non-Smoking Casinos in the USA

In many parts of the world, casinos are considered entertainment venues, and as such, they are subject to the same laws and regulations that govern other types of businesses that offer entertainment. In some places, this means that casino operators are allowed to permit smoking inside their establishments.

One reason casinos may choose to allow smoking is because they historically believed that it would attract more customers. Certainly some casino patrons enjoy smoking while they gamble, and they may be more likely to visit a casino that permits it. Additionally, casinos are often located in areas where smoking is not banned in all indoor spaces, so they may not face legal restrictions on permitting smoking inside their buildings.

Second-hand smoke has been shown to be harmful to health, and many people who do not smoke would prefer to be in and work in a smoke-free environment

However, some places have laws and regulations that prohibits smoking in enclosed areas, including casinos, so it’s restricted.
In these cases casinos usually have designated areas for smoking (like a separate room, or outdoor area), to minimize the impact on non-smoking customers and staff on the casino floor.

As of January 2023, 260 commercial and 148 Tribal casinos in the United states are non-smoking.

Campaigners in the US continue to fight for smoke-free casinos. In some cases casinos which had stopped smoking during Covid pandemic restrictions have not resumed permitted smoking on the premises despite being able to do so.
