5 Atlantic City casinos going smoke-free

Associated Press,  Wednesday, September 12, 2007 at 2:25:49 PM

Smokers may soon be out of luck: At least five of Atlantic City's casinos are making gambling areas smoke-free.

The move comes in response to a law passed in February requiring gambling floors to be at least 75 percent smoke-free. The city's 11 casinos must tell the state by Saturday how they plan to comply with the law.

Harrah's Entertainment Inc., which owns four casinos here — Harrah's Atlantic City, the Showboat Casino-Hotel, Bally's Atlantic City and Caesars Atlantic City — said Tuesday it will spend $7 million to open smoking lounges ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet apiece. Tropicana Casino and Resort has a similar plan.

That would leave the gambling floor totally smoke-free; patrons would have to enter one of the lounges in order to light up.
