Plaza Hotel & Casino just announced its intent to build a smoke-free gaming floor. This new smoke-free gaming floor will be the first of its kind in downtown Las Vegas.

While other casinos in Las Vegas have experimented with smoke-free hotels, sections, or in the case of Park MGM an entire smoke-free destination; these smoke-free options have thus far been limited to off-strip properties and a few on-strip properties.

Plaza's new project will be the first built-from-the-ground-up smoke-free casino gaming floor in the downtown Vegas. An area which up until now has been well-known for its older and heavily smokey gaming spaces.

The smoke-free casino will also feature a partnership with Brian Christopher of Brian Christopher Slots, a YouTube influencer who has grown so much in popularity that Gaming Artis is releasing a themed slot machine for him.

In addition to being smoke-free, the gaming floor will be social media friendly. Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel described the new gaming floor as, "it's going to be Instagram friendly; we welcome all YouTubers."

In addition to the new uniquely-themed non-smoking gaming floor, the project includes the building of the Carousel bar, an over-the-top themed bar that stays true to the bright lights of the Freemont experience.

They will also feature a donut shop, courtesy of PinkBox Doughnuts, who promises to serve up some sweet and boozy concoctions along side 70+ flavors of tasty donuts.

And, in another first, they will feature the first al-fresco dining option in downtown with the addition of a rooftop patio for Oscar's steakhouse.

In celebration of the announcement, Plaza is hosting a giveaway on Twitter that includes a 2-night stay and $150 in credit for the Carousel bar.

Is Choctaw Casino Durant Catering to Non-Smoking Patrons?

With the Covid outbreak last year, many casinos had to shutter their doors for several months at a time, and when they reopened, things had changed. Gone were the days of crowded buffets, packed concerts, celebratory high-fives, and hugs when you hit the big one. Instead, social distancing became the new norm. Restaurants now feature limited seating, concerts are only just now beginning to come back, and even drink stations are no longer self-serve. But there is one change that many casinos have made or are experimenting with, that has largely gone unnoticed; banning smoking.
