Apparently according to a recent news the Gambling Casinos in Vegas are going to allow Cannabis Lounges. In Nevada it's not restricted if you do it in your own house.

What do you think about it ?
- I do think that this is a step taken by both casinos and the government to ensure that people loose more, so that they do not care about what they are doing and at the end both the casinos and the government will make more money this way.
I surely think that this might not be the way to go, alcoholic drinks are served in the casinos for a reason. I do think that this might be a "happy news" for most people but at the same time you should realize that this is something that will drastically reduce your chances of winning.

There's nothing we can do even if we do oppose the idea and we do all know that when it comes to Cannabis or something that do relates with some addiction would always be having a bad image on most peoples eyes but not on some parts of the world as if these things turns out to be legalized and theres nothing we can do about it and its clear as day on what they are trying to emphasize on having this kind of lounge and of course making yourself loose while you do play because you would really be out of your right mind when you are high. 8)

In my opinion, if Vegas has become a habit of partying and drinking alcohol is a tradition it will not all interfere with winning when gambling. the policy was made possible because it was based on the requests of the customers, so that they finally got approval to feel free to play and get a little encouragement. LOL  ;D
but from a health perspective, when you drink alcohol, your focus will be disturbed, then you lose. I 50% agree with you, the rest I return to the convenience of gamblers there.

Cheers

Ofcourse, this is something that should be taken into consideration, I know that some people might think Cannabis is safe and it does not cause any probelms but at the same time this could lead to other issues, what I am more worried about is how the adrenaline level will shoot up and people might go to the casino and ask them debt to gamble which never is a good news !!

At the same time they can have some rules example:- allowing people to only play if they are not High. LOL but then what will be the benefit of it for them.

It will definitely attract more people!! It's all + for them , we will definitely see many YouTube videos about the brawls happening all over once it's all settled.

I think 18+ are allowed to gamble, they should be able to caution themselves the need to stay not intoxicated while gambling, or they are ready to use the money they can lose just for the fun of the time they are spending. Too much drinking and cannabis lounges will only lead to people to lose more while the wise ones will know their limit or appropriate time to do the thing. It is not must to drink while gambling, also not must to smoke while gambling.

It is widely known that if a casino sees that a player is a high roller or they are winning they will give alcoholic beverages to those players to distract them and make them lose money as they lose some of their ability to think rationally, this will allow them to do this in a more effective way, however I suppose that there are a lot of people that will be happy about this especially those that go to Las Vegas just to have a good time and do not care at all about the money they are spending.

No one cares about how good your day was, only personal interests. It's no secret for anyone that this is done in order to increase the casino profits, both, by selling cannabis and it's related beverages and when the person is high, he/she will more likely risk more amount that he would do while sober.
But for the society, they want it to look like: We give you the possibility to have as amazing and fun experience as possible in a casino. But the reality is what we wrote above.

Why will it reduce the chance of winning? Can sobriety beat mathematics? This will only make you more careless, i.e. you'll risk more than you can afford to lose.

the gambler should know what may possibly happen to him once he gets inside and when he avails such services and products. it is his responsibility to look after himself. that's the reason why casinos are winning in terms of profits, because they are finding ways how to entice their players to stay and enjoy themselves within their realm. they are continuously looking for things that will make the players stay on their casinos.
now, it is up to you if you will let yourself drowned with such offers.

They are only trying to make life easy and well comforting for gamblers so there will be no need of going outside the casino to take it when everything is right available. This is another business strategy of winning customers' heart by making them more addicted to the casino since everything that might be a need is right available.

The casinos fully understood that there is a market for cannabis smokers and they want them to know that they are very much welcome to play hang out and play, these casinos from Las Vegas just come out from a long vacation and they want to target as many markets as they can to get their revenues back again since there are many cannabis users why not give them a place, they will eventually play and lose money.

so they added another thing people are addicted to the casino, besides gambling of course, it is a smart move though businesswise, but could be really bad for gamblers, just like you said they won't care about losing there money that much when they're on the effect of cannabis, they just wanna have fun, but things will get really bad when they wake up the day after, and they lost a lot of money, this move is just good for the casino, people can get high at home whenever they want, the goal behind allowing that in their casino is obvious.

Lose more, no I dont agree its that much of a cynical move beyond the obvious idea of further raising revenue and taxes available to the state.   Obviously its going to be popular but cannabis is not the impairment you might imagine it or not in every case I've seen.    Drink is far more effective in disabling people generally and in sound judgement so if it was to impair ability to play  and avoid gambling losses I think they'd stick to drink.   In this case I think its just another way to attract more people and business to the gambling arena which of course will raise wins and losses and more profits for the operations, should be successful without being especially exploitative.   Obviously its further establishing gambling and related activities as very much an adult pursuit not to be taken lightly.

They allow in the lounge, hope they won't allow you to play when they are high.

Alcohol and Cannabis lose the intuition of anyone that's how it works unless you are snoopdog. Whichever you take too much and gamble, you will end up losing your intuition and you're too lucky to really win when you play games that need strategy such as poker. If you don't end up in a bar fight, you lose money. 

Hmm seems like more of a tourist attraction to me. And besides, with them creating lounges for the specific purpose of taking Cannabis, then that just means consumers of both it and gambling can basically do it in one place. Not to mention that doing it outside compared to the privates of your house seems a bit more "free" imo, which could potentially make quite a lot of consumers happy. Not that I'm saying it's a good thing of course, as others have said, it's just one more method for casinos to take advantage of their users.

If they ever try to actually separate the two, such that anyone who used the lounge isn't allowed to gamble, then this really actually attacks tourists themselves, which is imo a lot better. 

Your chances of winning do not have anything to do with cannabis or alcohol consumption whatsoever. The chances of winning are not in any way connected to the gambler. It is connected to the casino in the form of house edge as well as the various casino games' designs and, of course, luck. So whether you have consumed cannabis or alcohol, your chances of winning are not affected.

Anyway, I don't think this is a big deal. If anybody is interested to use and the casino won't allow it, he/she will find a place somewhere and do it. Afterwards, he/she will return to the casino. It's the same story, although, of course, I think not allowing the use within casino premises would highly discourage gamblers to take it while playing.

That news really makes people happy because they can free to consume cannabis in their homes. But the other problem will come to the government as the addiction to drugs, cannabis, or vapor or else will increase. If the government does not concern about this matter, they will see addicted people to those things. A gambler can lose more than what they already lose their money before as if they playing gambling at their home while they can consume that thing can make them forget about the limitations.

This is just because of the need to have "improvement" towards entertainment and how to let people engage in their habits or be legally free. I think many people would agree that if something is legalized, it's going to create less chaos than if it's illegal. The aim of these casinos has probably to let people be calm even though they are going to lose money gambling. I'm not sure, though, lol.

the effects of cannabis are to make the user hungry and also sleepy
this will definitely make the gamblers who play even more unable to control their minds

but a smart gambler will only use cannabis when he wins big or finishes playing
so that he doesn't lose any more

There are always pros and cons when something that can make a user addicted is legalized. Cannabis may not have much effect on those who are already addicted, but the obvious negative effect may be that gamblers lose control so they will get used to going out with an empty pocket. I don't think that's the main purpose of legalizing Cannabis in casino while alcoholic beverage have long been permitted.

If it is applied in many casino, then the casino must also limit its use within reasonable limits so that it is not used in excessive doses. Do physical casino allow someone who is drunk to bet?

Quite indifferent to the news.

I honestly don't see this having more of an impact on accelerating people's losses than the myriad of alcoholic tdrinks that they already serve up, though.

People who go into these lounges already know the risks and do so at their own peril. There will be no scenario in which the casino is liable to refund losses made by gamblers who are under the influence of cannabis as long as they keep their operations in a regulated, legal manner - and that's pretty much all they would care about anyway.

This is some hardcore thinking... It's not like I see it the first time, but every time it got me! Let's blame alcohol and weed for all the problems in the world... let's blame them for all the problems in our lives! Yea... the problem is in anything and everything around, just not in us!


Nice comment! I can't agree more with your words here... the next level of thinking by the casinos! If people enjoy it why not make something for them? People enjoy different things, we don't need to have prejudices and to judge others... enjoy in what you like, and let others enjoy in what they like!

The only problem with gambling is the possibility of losing a lot of money! Being high or drunk doesn't change the outcome of the game...

They will let people go High while Playing so the people are not aware of their expenses and their decisions towards gambling isn't normal and will lose tons of money each time.
means they are targeting gamblers and addict together.

I think that a person who uses cannabis will also use it without special rooms, for example in his car or just on the street... So the emergence of such special rooms would not change much...
So now it will be much easier for people who like to smoke weed and gamble in casinos to do it! ;D

this wont affect the mind of the gambler if he watch his intakes but they could still loose if they are in a badluck and the people that are high from canabis could still win if they are in a good luck .
they could win more infact because theres a tendency that they will bet higher when the effects of canabis kicks in .
 this campaign will be verry effective if done in countries where canabis is illegal because people will have a reason to play even if they are not into gambling .

This is going to be very bad for the casinos. The gamblers who lose money can always claim that they got hallucinated on weed and then they may sue the casino for their losses. And in case some conservative judge is hearing the case, then he may side with the gambler and may slap a fine on the casino to the tune of a few million USD. Do the casinos want to take this risk? I have no issues in making cigarettes or alcohol available in the casinos. But going for weed is like stretching it a bit too far.

Cannabis is a herbal medicine, and not bad to our health as long as we know our limitations. Casinos offering this kind of thing I guess have a good effect on gamblers such as;

- Calmness
- Active braincells
- Productive
- Cure a disease (like asthma for example, etc...)

Those I've mentioned above sometimes vary on the user, it has different effect from each everyone of the users. Cannabis smoking is much better than smoking tobacco in a casino which is deadly (secondhand smoke) that could cause lung cancer, so on and so forth.

So I don't have any bad comments about this as long as their government agreed with it.

pros and cons because in some countries cannabis is legal and a necessity...

I don't think anyone will dare sue the casino when the cannabis user loses money because from the start they should have known that cannabis makes 'intoxicated' just like the liquor in the casino. the users who should be responsible for themselves.

It's about time they allow using cannabis everywhere unless it affects anyone around you. I cannot believe that in this day and age we still have all the old laws for weed. I've been smoking every now and then for almost 8 years now (not on a daily basis). It's not killing anyone. Alcohol is way worse, but we've all heard that already.

Lol! I wish my country also allows canabis to be sold as a legal product. Because canabis is literally available everywhere but just as an illegal substance. But any tom-dick&Harry can get it easily no matter where they are.

But what Las Vegas is doing has a business equation behind it. Canabis makes you hallucinate and think less about your self and existence. So casinos are eyeing for more revenue per player through this move. Anyway, gambling is all about entertainment so I see no harm in make that entertainment more colorful.

Not all drug addict loss their sense during gambling. Hard drugs react differently to different people. It makes some wild while to others it makes them wiser and for some it calms their nerves. So introducing cannabis to casinos in Vegas could be a bit risky because it would arouse different behavior to winnings and losses. Hard drugs brings out the hidden identity of a calm dove. This might not be a good idea for me.

The main use of cannabis is to calm down people with some disorder and relieve stress. But when you overdose, It will give you side effect which is hallucinations and I believe this the concern of OP for bringing this topic. I don't think so that players hitting it will only hit moderately because weeds is so addictive and most the gamblers are easy to become addicted. The chance of winning after a session of weeds is too low compared when you are on the right mind.

Gambling is a business both to the casinos and the government so therefore if cannabis would manipulate the state of mind of the gamblers causing them to loose more then both parties would love to adopt the strategy. But what if it gets into becoming an addict to the gambler wouldn't it cause some level of coarse coupled with tension both to the gamblers and the casino alike.

Unless if the Casino would be giving out some limitation or just the right amount that they would able to smoke on? which is really impossible.

There no other reason on why they do come up with this idea but to take advantage into its players because playing while you are in the influence of weed is totally when you are in your normal mind.

Its just way too obvious on what they are trying to do here and thats an another sorry thing for those gamblers who do play on that place.

I do not really get all the people who claim "this will cause people to lose a lot" when people have been drinking in Las Vegas and hell even doing drugs illegally there for years, if you are a gambler who started to wager some certain amount of money, casinos usually give you free drinks to get you drunk so you would keep gambling and lose your money, in a world where drinking is seen as a part of Vegas experience, how come smoking pot would be any different?

I am not saying that it will not cause you to lose more, it WILL cause you to lose more for sure, anyone who is high would not have enough brain power to keep gambling and winning, they will lose more than they should, hell maybe they will lose more than they could afford and destroy their lives who knows? But that's not new in Vegas, it has been a thing for a century now thanks to booze, it is just optional from now on that's it.

And that might be the reason why they've allowed. For the reason to make people lose themselves and get out of their control so that they can make more money from those people that are enjoying doing such but not noticing that they're in a serious situation. And in the end, it's too late for them to notice that they're losing more money although in their mindset, they've enjoyed a bit.

It might be interesting if all of the cannabis lovers would go to casino just to pop some and I know some famous people who do it. Maybe it's a good idea if it's a personal request from their customers and I don't know what the other cause and effect of cannabis but some people tells that it helps them to relax while in terms of thinking it may be useful because all what they see is a slow moving phase which is kind of funny because it's what on their mind.

Maybe this will help when they were playing inside the casino but I'm there's another problem going to raise after that.

I don't think cannabis is a drug enhancing risky habits in general and risky gambling habits in particular. So I'm not sure it will help casino houses to take more money from those players. In fact I think it will certainly help some gamblers to stop playing actually.

For added entertainment purposes, that make sense. As per the article, the legislature is yet to define what types of marijuana products will be allowed so it means every type is not welcome or maybe the most commonly used type won't be considered to ensure that the lounge will be limited only for entertainment purposes.

Reading through, doing gambling, and alcohol will likely be prohibited in cannabis lounges which I think to prevent possible mixed emotions and unnecessary actions inside the lounge.

"What is known so far is that lawmakers are planning to start by licensing 20 cannabis launches initially" - additional revenues or tax?

This topic is always debatable but I reckon the one who should be explaining about it is the one who tried it for a very long time. There are artists, singer, actors who used cannabis for example Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa although I don't see them playing gambling but let's just say they were since they were using cannabis for their daily lives and yet I don't see any problem at all with them because even in their live concert they were using it too.

Does that affect their entire behavior? No, I don't think so.

Its more a freedom then an active element to influence gambling outcomes, now people wont have to sit in their hotel room to smoke they can do it while they gamble which is great and reflects the changing laws on a relatively harmless drug.   It'd be great publicity for Casinos to bring in some celebrities like Snoop Dogg, I can see them sponsoring him to come play on that basis to emphasise the change as who is more iconic then him.   He was involved in a few game launches and streams on twitch, he left the channel open all night once by accident which is pretty funny but nice he is a real character people appreciate.

The Cannabis users and community are growing in Vegas and they are recognizing them by setting up lounges like this, yes government and casinos can make money by giving them special places in the casinos to hang out, it's an invitation for them to play and hang out and maybe they got a study that many cannabis users are also gambling or wants cannabis users to play, this will bring back the glory days of the casinos after the pandemic.

Just because something is legal in the country, it doesn't mean that the casinos need to supply it. I don't know how this is going to be beneficial for the casinos. Even if there is no additional risk (as posted by you), I don't think that their revenues will go up as a result of this. What are the chances that the cannabis users will visit the casinos, when it is readily available elsewhere? Also, the chances that regular gamblers would decide to try weed in between their games is very minimal, in my opinion.

Will this work like a smoking area though because I am pretty sure that not everyone is going to enjoy the smell of marijuana smoke. I think that Snoop Lion is going to be a good endorser, maybe get Tommy Chong and Afroman and other famous marijuana and cannabis activist.

Vegas casinos allow marijuana lounges because it is very popular in their country and gamblers enjoy the smell of marijuana smoke with the game but for other countries gaza has not found legitimacy they think it is harmful gaza is more harmful than smoking. Many activities have both compulsive and compulsive features but are practically separate from addiction and compulsion emulsivity and compulsion are related to each other each showing a tendency to act prematurely or without consideration and often involving negative consequences.

Yeah they are offering gambling , Liquor and now Drugs.

maybe next time they will literally offers prostitution also  ;D

I hate this kind of gambling places , hope this will never happen in my place.

Do they do this kind of stuff? well, it will cause some serious problems because people will not in their right mind when they playing the games. Seriously guys, I never thought things like this would ever happen because it will create a lot of risks especially to those people who don't even know the taste of it let alone socializing with the one who abused it and sitting next to them. It will be like in the clubs where people are high and drunk but still talking until the morning comes.

You're not just that used to people smoking pot around you, that's why you think this way, don't worry because I am pretty sure that they can still probably function even though they are high or smoking pot. Plus, these is a good way to make marijuana a legal stuff which can help the economy get more money because weed is a big industry.

Prostitutions in the casino? Well that exist for quite a long time already. I mean who doesn't think of that idea where a flock of people with crazy wealth is gathering in one place. Every transactions will be dealt privately.
If you mean legalising prostitutions in the public places like the casino, then I might say that's impossible to happen. The casino will be charged with sex trafficking.

Vegas has been aiming to be the best leisure place with luxury in the planet, and combining gambling, alcohol, and drugs is a perfect place for the people who's seeking to escape reality for a while.

It still needs time before they can see the cannabis is available in the casino because many types of marijuana products need to be defined. It could make people get in trouble if they can not control two things, gambling and cannabis. If that can give the casino more income, I think the casino will approach the government and define the cannabis type so it will no need to wait for a long time to allow their members to consume that.

To be honest, I see it as another marketing strategy where they could attract more players who are using cannabis. We can't do anything about it since cannabis is legal in their country. They focus on keeping their players by allowing even cannabis usage and other stuff like alcohol and cigarette but I hope that they wouldn't allow illegal drugs in the future.

It's not yet legal on a federal level, the legality of marijuana is still on a state to state basis although, I don't think there's nothing wrong with weed since it's a good money making industry if you ask me and we know that US government loves their taxes.

Lol, I remember reading an article that public places such as casinos are one of the prohibited places to use cannabis. I guess they finally realized that it is such a waste to not take advantage of people high in marijuana. that being said the article did say that gambling and alcoholic beverages will most likely be prohibited in the lounged. but that doesn't stop the people to go and gamble in the casino when they are done using Cannabis. although rules and regulations in the lounges have yet to be announced I assumed there would be some kind of restriction on how much cannabis a person can eat, smoke, or drink.

It seems inevitable when Cannabis was legalized in Nevada, however I think it should be reserved for dedicated sections of the casino and cut off from the non-smoking sections entirely quite frankly. Cannabis can have a very potent and upsetting smell, which might not be welcome even by standard tobacco smokers. I wonder if they will start handing out free joints of weed instead of alcohol to keep people sat at the table, as it still has the tired effect of making the players dopey. As you say, serious players who are playing games like poker to win would be best to stay far away from intoxicating substances like this. It has a much more damaging "second hand" effect and frankly it'd be advisable to steer clear of any casino that allows cannabis smoke to circulate - it doesn't stop having an effect when it is exhaled by the smoker.

I think it's allowed for them but it should only be used in special places (certain rooms) in legal casinos. I don't think players can use it anywhere in the casino even when they are betting on the table, it will annoy other players because of the distinctive smell.

Even though I'm a smoker, but I don't like the smell of marijuana, it really makes me dizzy and have to stay away from marijuana smokers. This may happen to other people even if they smoke or drink alcohol.

It's actually a good marketing strategy for the casino/establishment, not so much for the players since too much weed can impair their judgment that could lead to them having wrong decisions that could be devastating once they get back to their senses. There should be a maximum allowable joints players can use during their stay on the casino, otherwise it's just baiting and lulling them to "relax" and spend more than they should to have a good time.

It would interesting to see how the exceptions would be made in order to favor the casinos on this particular scenario.

I don't see that plan as a negative. It's a casino, where gamblers of different types are present, and I think something lounge like that should be present.

And as I read in the article, it was discussed properly by the officials and there are terms about it which I'm sure, will be strict.

It's not even new that most gamblers there are already used to using cannabis so I don't think it will affect their gambling gameplays during their gambling session after doing some fun at the cannabis lounge first.

There might be some effect that it'll put the person high and that's going to push them more. Or else, the casino is just giving the benefit of their gamblers that they are free to do what they want as long as it's legal while being inside their premises.
If there's a psychological reason why they've allowed it then that's in favor of the casino not with the player. But that's what we're going to see for them.

They wont really be putting up those things for nothing and its clear as day that they would really be letting those weed use into the lounge because

if someone is on the influence of weed then you would really be losing up your right mind on how to play well which means that would really be an advantage on the house side.

which means that do talks about more revenue as of those players would really be putting up a hole into their pocket and it would be late for them to realize that.

^ Probably there is and it could be a marketing strategy that will probably gamblers will turn to addiction because of the cannabis that brings them the courage to push through. Plus factor is, there are also a tendency that using this stuff will usually be abused and improper of using cannabis, I don't think how will you feel if you are using this and what is the difference if you are using cannabis, weed or even marijuana, seems they are almost similar.

It is interesting to see that casinos are now introducing more and more competitive ways to stand out over online casinos. With this drug as an example, but I'm not sure if these types of strategy will help rescue the damage online versions caused.

It's right fiulpro, such a step will only make things worse for a gambler who is addicted to both, drugs and gambling because intoxication is intoxication and in any way, if high dose is taken, then it can be very drastic for such gambler as he might not only lose his lifetime savings but his life too if he smokes too much weed there. These type of governments must be thought of as greedy and careless about their citizens.

Thinking off the same that they are just too loose when it comes to these things where it is a bit far on extent that they do come up into this idea where it is basically obvious on where they are involving weed now just for the benefit on retaining their players and make out play in the influence of weed which would really be normally resulted into those losing money scenarios yet who would be the one would able to
play well if they are smoked out? You can really see the desperation and dedication to make more money on here.

As you say, if alcohol, which may make the players largely loose their control on their finances and play stupidly is allowed, it may be the case that these cannabis lounges are nothing different. In my view, there should be a restriction on both of these, but obviously the casinos have their own ways of getting things ironed for their profit so if it has been proposed, it will eventually happen.

I think that for some games it is allright, e.g. a roulette, but for others it is not really compatible to be high and play, like poker.

Not that you'll lose your mind but you'll get to have that sense of enjoyment and as you enjoy, you think that you'll be getting to the climax that you'll have to gamble more.
With or without psychological reasons for adding that, there's also probably demand from their loyal customers and they've just granted it.

This would be disadvantage to the players as you wont really be able to play well when you are really in the influence of weed which is really just normal to think.

They are really doing things which would really be on the disadvantage to player.This turns out to be some good perks since its been allowed but actually this is really just even make more the situation worst for the players.

First time on hearing out this kind of allowing up things which is obviously they are really making this to wreck up more players whom do play on them.

Just another money maker business for them. And aside from that, they can rake more money from these players because they are not in a very good mental state. If they are under the influence of weed, they may make decisions that are in favor to the casino. So for every gambler that wants to avail such services, they should know what they are getting into. But the casinos should closely look into these people, because they may create damage or harm if they abuse the use of it.

Use of alcohol and any other form of drugs will leads to loss of your control so you won't realize what is actually happening in the casinos, but as long as you don't want to loss your control then why we need to take such offers from the casino sides. Their business got stuck due to the Covid and people already adapted to the online casino so these physical casinos trying their best to bring their customers back.

Well that is by far the biggest problem, after all if something is legal then people can do so if they want and I cannot argue against it even if I think it is more healthy for them to restrain themselves from doing it, however when we combine this with gambling this could become a dangerous combination, we know that in the heat of the moment it can be difficult to control your emotions even when you are completely lucid, if we add chemical substances then this becomes even harder and many gamblers will lose their money as a result of this.

As a business of course you would really be finding ways on sustaining yourself into this industry no matter what kind of things you would do as long it would be considered legal or doesnt really step out into the boundaries and if you are a gambler then you do have the full will neither you do take some smoke of weed or not and you arent been forced out and this is just some perks that you can eventually enjoy when you are into these kind of venue and of course that would be adding some in the business but the thing here is that you hadnt
been forced out to do so or simply your own self will.

I only disagree about the government. It's not positive for the government that people lose more at casinos induced by cannabis, because it will create a lot of issues later for the public health sector of the own government, what means they will have to spend a lot of money to treat addicted gamblers suffering from drugs side effects, what is much worse than solely gambling addiction.
Maybe the government is thinking they can be benefited by this measure, but that is just the theory and in practice things can go so wrong... Actually the entire drugs liberation agenda is going to be so harmful for the society. We are just seeing the beginning of this mess.

I think it's the opposite.

It's already a habit in Vegas casinos that people are taking weeds before they gamble as part of their relaxation and comfortability. People sometimes take that so that their gambling will be more entertaining. There's a feeling of not worrying about the risk that they will lose since they are in their relaxed status.

That's not a disadvantage because those Vegas gamblers really like to use cannabis in the first place whether they will gamble or not.

For me, there is no problem with using cannabis because it is already legal and licensed to them.  It is up to the person or the gambler if he will allow himself to use it before or after gambling.  Maybe it's not required to use before gambling if he's there, right?  There is no gambling or alcohol inside the cannabis lounges, so it is separate.  Maybe we shouldn't say that the casino and the government make sure that gamblers lose because of marijuana use.  It still depends on them how they handle gambling themselves.  But that being said, any excessive use of such drugs is harmful.  So they should also know the risk of any and avoid getting addicted.

Casinos try their best to create a favorable environment for each visitor. I think that if someone will use cannabis in specially designated places, it will not create any problems. It is known that tetrahydrocannabinol does not cause aggression after use and therefore such players are not dangerous to society, which cannot be said about synthetic drugs.

I must admit that free alcohol in casinos was already a big step towards getting as much money out of the pockets of drunk people as possible. However, the license to smoke marijuana in casinos (I wonder if also free  ;D ;D ) is an even bigger step forward. For people who like alcohol and smoke green stuff, I would avoid such casino as hell.

They are free to buy or not so there is nothing wrong with allowing cannabis lounges in casinos and I think this provision is only meant for those who like to use it. But, for those who have recently tried it, at least there is also a warning about the impact that will be caused, because then they can do it with considered risks too.

The effect of weed vary to different person, everyone has different behavior when intuitions are already affected. The smoke often times clouds the judgement but there are people who could focus more when high.

For weed most of my friends like eating a lot, the restaurant business will probably be profitable i side the casinos.

Cannabis is legal in some country and we all know that using cannabis is already accepted in some countries all over the world and also in Las Vegas (Nevada) so there's nothing wrong if some casinos in Vegas will also allow using cannabis inside the lounges of the casinos as long as it is legal over the government. But the thing is that they may need to limit the amount of dosage every person that is using cannabis inside the casino to lessen the dangerous effect of it.

I'm not too surprise about the news of Vegas casinos allowing cannabis lounges, the state was know as sin city, lost wages etc and the casino owner with the government there are very good in implementing opportunity that will increase their traffic and fund. Besides, I dont see this as a big issue since cannabis is legalized by some alot countries and states already.
Having said that, the cannabis will make some people lost in gambling but only people that dont understand gambling concept and their limit.

To be honest it feels like a bit of a step backwards when it comes to smoking. I've got nothing against people who want to smoke either tobacco or cannabis, but it should be restricted in public places because of the carcinogenic affects of the second hand smoke. It is not like alcohol, which although it can be handled poorly by an individual, it does not physically harm others in the same widespread way. Get intoxicated all you want out in the open or in your private spaces where the cancer causing particles are less likely to impact on others, but it should not be encouraged in enclosed spaces. I guess it does less harm as long as all smokers are restricted to certain areas that are very much isolated from non smokers.

Top news i think  :P
What can be better than to smoke weed before going all in on pre flop?  :P

And if it is not restricted, when why not? If alcohol and cigars is accepted, there is no problem to add weed as a third number. And this is always good for casino, because inadequate people are more like to loose more money.

Surely their target market is not just gamblers...

Casinos that provide lounges and bars are not just for gamblers, people who don't gamble can also enter. many cannabis addicts are not gamblers, and maybe the owner of the casino business just wants to try his/her luck from another business that is selling cannabis.

This is true but when it comes to personal judgement then its totally different when you arent totally in the influence of smoking weed compared into those who havent even though lets say that effects arent that really in common but it would be still entirely different.

Personal judgement and self decision skills would be mainly affected when you are really in the influence neither weed or alcohol and thats indeed a sure
add up business for them.

Of course they wont really be putting those things for nothing which it is really understandable on where these things are for.

Why if you're not a gambler you will go to casino to smoke weed? I doubt that someone will spent few hours of his life for that if he can buy all needed stuff from his local dealer and make a party at his home  :D

No need in casino if you're just an ordinary junkie.

That's unlikely, I think it's just a general approach that is spreading now, to legalize marijuana. Finally, people are starting to realize, that it's not that bad and if alcohol is legalized, so should cannabis be.

For casinos in order to players lose more the alcohol works just fine and there are definitely more drinkers than cannabis smokers out there.
For the government, such a plan wouldn't be beneficial as well because if people were losing too much money it would increase the number of debtors, homeless people, and who needs that?

In addition, it says in the article you gave the link to:

It's just a new type of relax zones for hotels and casinos, nothing more.

I do not exactly agree, casinos are trying to create a comfortable environment for their players and an advantageous environment for them, I do not blame them I am just stating the truth, and this is going to help them, it is known that cannabis slows down people and reduces their ability to think critically, this means that they will attract players and at the same time they will obtain more money out of them so this is the perfect situation for them.

Considering that modern offline casinos are not a highly specialized place of entertainment, but a whole industry that offers everything a visitor wants, I see no reason to be surprised by this news. If it is legal and has anything to do with entertainment, then it will be implemented here, it is absolutely normal and expected.

If a person likes to use marijuana and play slots, it makes no difference what processes are going on in his body. He gets pleasure and what difference does it make where he will do it in the casino or at home at the monitor.

I knew one man who smoked marijuana almost daily. It didn't stop him from driving a car, playing sports and having a full family.

If you start doing it today, you will feel like you are going to take the last breathe of your life and your heart will stop beating. But if it's done on a regular basis, then it becomes a hobby/addiction whatever you may call it. What would be wrong here is if a gambler becomes a Cannabis addict only because it is allowed at the casino he plays and his new gambler friends force him to smoke some to 'feel the glister of a new world' he enters after having one puff.

Will vary on each person because we do have our own self will because even if you do play on that particular casino but doesnt really want to get involved with Cannabis then its up to someones personal judgement or choice.
Its not really necessary that you would really be smoking out weed just because you are there but this wont really be an easy one specially if you do have friends because temptation would really be there and would really be hard to resist up when you are on the actual situation.These casinos would really be finding out ways on how to make more money not just on the Cannabis that they might be selling out but also it would even generate
more revenue in terms of that since people who had smoked out will definitely be having those high or addicted like behavior and wouldnt really able to play well.

That's what I said - if a gambler does not remain in complete senses, he'd even lose his entire life savings and still won't know what happened till the narcotism leaves his mind. It is not narrowed down to gambler's choice only where he smokes on his own, but the environment around him and the fellow gamblers who may force him on a friendly note may also unintentionally help out the casino to take out big from the pockets of that 'insane' gambler.

Drug and casinos go hand in hand, I guess the casino with cannabis lounges is built in response to players’ demand. If the government permits that then the trend will keep rising but it is left for the casino customers to control their drugs habit in other not to hamper the chances of winning.

If it is legal in their country, I don't think it's a problem for gamblers. As what OP said this might be one of casino strategies. The more gamblers are high due to cannabis partnered with alcohol the more they lose proper judgement which will make them gamble more which means it can bring more profit for casinos.

If they will allow Cannabis then they will surely next allowing  MET and Coke ? with this decisions they are literally letting their gamblers to Get High so they will continue allowing themselves from losing because of making decisions that only provided by drugs and in the morning after they loss realization will follow that they made the stupidest decisions in life playing gambling with the influence of Drugs  and liquor .

For real? I thought only alcohol and cigarettes are allowed in most casinos, I mean that's just me because marijuana is illegal in my country which makes me think that I am not familiar of any drugs in any country. I am against marijuana too because it's kind of like a gateway drug.

By the way, the question of motivation is quite interesting - it is possible that after achieving a narcotic pleasure from marijuana, a gambler will lose his craving for the game. I don't know if this works with gambling, but alcohol causes aggression and a thirst for adventure, and marijuana calms down, perhaps gamblers will play less and smoke more  :D

Im thinking that way too on when the time a gambler had some good time on smoking marijuana then for sure he might really lost up interest on playing gambling and would rather stay up on smoking more.

If these weeds are part of the business then that would surely be a hit because you cant see these venues or rarely can be seen to be legalized nor been allowed.

Business is Business as usual.

It depends on the purpose of that person why they go on the cannabis lounges within the Vegas Casinos.

Either they want to do some session first before gambling or they just go there just to do a cannabis session.

The after effect of doing smoke will create a feeling that it's their lucky day on gambling so I doubt these people will just go to the Vegas Casino just for the purpose of chilling in the Cannabis Lounge. There are lots of lounges outside the Vegas Casino where they can feel the same experience.

Good strategy from the gambling company when people are tipsy they tend to be careless and that is why on casinos they give a lot of energy drink and liquor to their players, so they can excite them to play more, bet more, and lose money, and they give them a place to hangout to invite cannabis users to their place and entice them to play and of course, lose.

You are wrong about being tipsy. People around Vegas, especially those regular customers that gamble there are already used to taking Cannabis. There is no tipsy effect but rather comfortability when gambling which makes them think that, "that night will be their lucky night"!

On the part that they will bet more once under the influence of cannabis, it's already on the gambler's nature even without taking cannabis so that was usual. They won't go into casinos beforehand if they aren't prepared to gamble.

When you feel it's your lucky night after smoking all the stuff inside the shisha pipe, you are really tipsier.

During the days where there is yet no covid, they didn't approve this one but today it seems okay to them. I guess they figured when a gambler is tipsy, they won't be worrying of getting infected and will even spend more on Cannabis or become a high roller as well. Yep Cannabis to reopen Economy!

The casinos are generating enough profits and they don't need to make their customers tipsy to generate more revenue. And this news about the launch of cannabis lounge is for just one of the casinos. I don't think that the other bigger casino chains would approve similar measures. There is some sort of desperation in general from the casino owners, due to the dampened economic conditions. Now with the economy opening up, they are trying to make up for the lost profit in the previous months by trying to attract new customers.

If one casino will allow this then why not others will ask for the same ? this will be a domino effect for sure.

And why not looking for more revenue ? lol Casino are the greediest business of them all so looking for more profit is what they wanted to find and  letting people to take cannabis in their respective places means one thing that they wanted players to become tipsy and loaded so they will play with no right mind at all.

I mean the reason why they give free alcoholic drinks is to try and loosen up their gamblers and hope that they would spend more on gambling. so yeah, they need to make their customer "tipsy" or loosened up if they want to increase the money they can win which most likely would be less compared to the ones who are sober. and yeah, the lounge is an attempt to bring more costumer to play on their casino and if the implementation proved to be successful,  I wouldn't be surprised if other casinos copy this tactic even if they are against it in the beginning.

Casinos are definitely looking for a way for gamblers to be able to play for a long time until their money runs out, one way is by giving free liquor.
We know it's human nature if they get something for free they will be attracted, and it is very likely that the gambler will get drunk. If this happens
then what the casino wants is successful, because drunk people when playing gambling will more easily lose their money. That's why there are plans
to allow Cannabis lounges too, which I think will have a bigger effect than liquor. Although many parties oppose, this tactic will certainly be carried out
by many casinos. Because casinos do require a large income, moreover, the pandemic situation makes casinos have to find ways to increase the profits
they get.

I think besides being a smoking area for cannabis users, I think that this will be another form of revenue and making clients stay on the casino much longer, think about it, if you can keep the players in the casino for a longer time, you will be able to get more money out of them as much as possible and cannabis will make them more chill and probably less inhibited that they won't worry too much about spending more on the casino.

that's definitely their goal. and I also think that the casino not only has the aim of keeping clients longer but also trying to attract gambling addicts to come to their place and maybe to gamble there

in this time of the pandemic, of course casinos are trying hard to make more money to cover the tax costs that the government imposes on them
Gambling business competition is getting tougher

The biggest competition for land-based casinos are internet casinos, but I haven't heard of casinos shutting down so this means their numbers are definitely still growing.
Taxes are certainly the biggest costs casinos incur, but I wonder how much the license will cost so that customers can smoke marijuana in them.
And most importantly, in some casinos alcohol is served for free, I wonder if some casino decides to serve marijuana for free.  ;D

With the cannabis lounges on casinos we can see more people enjoy gambling without frustration. When one has consumed cannabis, automatically he/she will feel free and relieved even when they keep on losing. Because, they won't be having the normal mindset. Governments and casino will make good revenue, and there is need of more security on those casinos.

That would be awesome! Some good-looking ladies are serving rolled cigars and whisky... while I am enjoying some of my favorite games!!! A triple pleasure! That would be like a paradise! Or at least the closest I can get!

People have a very negative opinion about weed in general, judging by the comments in this thread! And this weed/gambling/alcohol combination is presented like some "conspiracy theory" from casinos to "take" more money from people! But it's not like that, I believe casinos are just trying to create a comfort zone for people who enjoy smoking weed and playing games...


You are an expert? :)

It really does sound like paradise ..  ;D
Of course, the community will always be against something that is addictive and, above all, against what it does not know.
However, if the first step has already been taken, it is rather only a matter of time before our dream comes true.  ;) 8) ;D
Fingers crossed  8)

The people behind casinos are not going to waste money trying to make it more comfortable for you unless that gives them money in return. They are not doing this from the kindness of their hearts. Casinos literally target big spenders and offer them complementary rooms which are worth thousands to try and keep them at their casino. If that is not exploiting your customer I do not know what is. Its not a conspiracy theory they have introduced this just like alcohol is served. It gives the player a sense of enjoyment despite losing a lot of money. Weed and Alcohol are used as tools for getting bettors to spend more money. Its not a negative opinion on weed but a negative opinion on the casinos and how they exploit their customers.  

The side with more securities is for real, those gamblers who enjoyed taking cannabis might do something unusual,

adding securities to avoid problems with those people, but it's also true that the chance of gaining more money with those gamblers who played with
uncontrol mindsets and emotions, they feel good as it's a common side effects of the  cannabis.

Even they are losing they keep pushing and some might aggressively trying to bet more!

But nothing beats out when you get involved with weed compared into those lounges that do offers different and this is why i do see it to be a bit strategic on their part and they do really know on how to make even

more revenue or profit on terms of ways or methods which can possibly make it happen.This is business and this one is really a clever one, dont know on how much they do pay about the legalization of such stuff

because you cant really see it everywhere in terms of lounges that do allow cannabis which is mostly been prohibited.

I like the idea to allow cannabis lounges, because then there is no need to contact a dealer. This can be the reason why there is lower risk to start with drugs like meth and kokain. So I like the idea of lounges and I really hope more cities (especially european) will follow. Just make sure that the smell stays inside.

To get into a casino in Las Vegas under 21 years unlikely to work and at this age a person should be aware of their actions. Is there a fundamental difference where a person can get addicted to smoking cannabis at home or in a casino?

I really hope only few casinos adopt these called cannabis lounges, because not everyone support this idea, especially the bad smell it causes around. Also, many elders like to gamble at land based casinos, because they don't know how to use computers or smartphones and I believe they won't tolerate such habits as well, since they come from an older generation from a time when it was unacceptable.
Casinos must think about the pros and cons carefully before adding any new features to their businesses.

In fact, cannabis was used 10-20 years ago and it is still being used. But while earlier cannabis smokers had to carefully conceal their addiction, after the legalization of cannabis in California, Nevada and Massachusetts, it was no longer necessary. Note that the majority of citizens in these states voted for the legalization of cannabis.

Cannabis has been used for decades if not centuries - it is well associated with the "swinging sixties" for a reason. It has just been treated with varying degrees of illegality and was associated much closer to harder drugs than it should have been by the average police officer. I'd definitely have to agree though that the smell is way more potent and sometimes sickly compared to the fairly consistent tobacco smoke that most will know. It also has the downside of passing on it's intoxicating effect via second hand smoke, even if it's exhaled by the first user there will be some THC effects that are released and these could wrongly affect others in a public environment - they definitely need segregating unlike any other group.

Well, that is exactly what we have talked about. Same idea as free booze, in the casino world if you are not just a slot machine gambler with only small amount of money (like literally cents) then you are going to get free drinks on the house, for example go start playing at blackjack table and lose about 100 bucks per hour when you are there, after second hour you will be given free drinks, and unless you drink very fast and finish it under 5 minutes to ask for another one (looking like you are trying to win back your losses by drinking) then you will be given more and more the longer you play even if you start winning.

This is done to make you happy, make you stay for longer because you have a drink to finish (and as soon as you finish someone will show up with another free drink) and make you drunk so that you are not worried about losing more money and focus on having fun. Same thing will happen with weed as well.

Casinos WILL waste a lot of money trying to make it more comfortable for you! They are not doing this from the kindness of their hearts (with that part I agree), they are doing that because it's what a good "service" does! I used the term "service" for a reason, it's not just about casinos who are giving rooms and bonuses, it's about any "service" that is willing to go that extra mile for their customers! It's what makes a difference between good and bad "services"! When you feel comfortable and nice/happy you will spend more money in any place (shop, store, casino, restaurant, mall, you name it...)!

And it's not like "YOU ARE FORCED TO TAKE THE ROOM AND DRINK", or anything else! It's about what you want to have a nice evening/day/weekend, what makes you happy and comfortable! As I said, with more money more doors will be opened for you, but you can still choose which doors to open! Maybe you see something as an exploit, but some people see a chance for a good time, and some people are ready to spend for that good time! Without regretting later...

Do you gamble at all? By your words, I can guess you don't drink and smoke... so if you gamble I would like to know do you always win?

I agree it has been used for a long time already, but in past decades, like the sixties, it was only used by few groups and like madnessteat said, people smoked it concealed from the society. However, since the beginning of 2000's and even more after 2010 I see things reversed and people who don't make use of drugs or don't support it are the minority while being seen by the society like drugs users were seen decades ago, in a negative way.
I remember when I was a kid there were advertisements on the television against drugs. Probably such propagandas couldn't even be made nowadays because there would be a lot of criticisms and retaliation. Anyway I still believe majority of elders from any societies are against cannabis.

Apparently you do not have a good idea of how tobacco smoking rooms are equipped. For this purpose a separate room is built with a very powerful exhaust and filtration system through which the air from the room is drawn to the outside. I don't think the casino owners will come up with anything different for cannabis smokers.

In addition, business owners doesn't want their premises filled with smokes all over the place, of course not everyone in the room smokes. I didn't even personally seen an establishment allowing smokers in the same room as all the guest (except the underground bars).
I'm also quite sure there are always a separate room for smokers, may it be tobacco or cannabis as the local government usually require this.

Well Lounges traditional for whom we do not smoke are "inpecks" this persons can  smoke to three kilometers away, but the smell brings it on they ever.  So the casinos should be smoke-free spaces ... of any kind, but  It is formalizing something that has been existed for a long time.

As regards the game, I think it affects more than those in the environment than themselves.

There is a poker player (Bill Smith) who won the World Poker Series in the year 1985 ... this story is of Mr. Doyle Brunson, if I remember the web with pleasure I put the link but he mentioned that that player when he drank whiskey playing poker was unbeatable and in fact the poker tournaments of the series in his beginnings allowed alcoholic beverages and smoke, in the present comtempooraneous it's not allowed.

Source: https://lasvegassun.com/news/1996/mar/01/poker-champion-smith-dies/

In any case with cannabis is to do something formal because it happens for many players at bedrooms, in the casinos there is no doping, so...ok.

wow if this will come to reality ? then i would love visiting this casino for more enjoyable and fun gaming   ;D

wondering how the experience of Smoking weed inside casino houses? this is once in a lifetime experience though in Casino hotels i already tried smoking in the past but not inside the casino literally .

But what I'm seeing here is the negative effect and the total protest they will earn once this will  allowed.

That is good for him, cannabis is not going to drop your ability to think critically to zero but it is going to slightly diminish it, in most circumstances this is not a big factor but there are some circumstances in which it is a big deal, it is true that in a game like slots it is not going to have too much of an effect but in other games in which you need to concentrate yourself that slight reduction on your critical skills can be more than enough to make you lose a lot of money.

When mentioning about games that do require some analysis like those card games then it would just be basically would have an effect but there are exemptions since there are people who do smoke out weed
do really have that enhanced presence of mind or way too reactive since we know that smoking weed could really make out some different changes in terms of behavior or way of thinking or simply
neither positive or negative but of course everything which is too much would definitely had bad effect and these casinos do really know on finding ways for them to always have the advantage
against their users and make more money.

What's stopping you from smoking weeds before visiting a casino or smoking at home and playing online? In my opinion, mixing different pleasures is a dubious idea, especially in this case - gambling gives adrenaline, and smoking weed relaxes. Thus, you will receive not an increase in sensations, but a weakening.

From  neutreul perspective, I also think this is a smart move if the state laws allows the cannabis consume; Someon addictive to gambling would surely be an easy victim to other kinds of addictions, and i can guess that casinos owners know very well about the habits of its clients so if some of them leave the casino to have a join then it becomes easier for them not to leave their sets and do whatever they want.
However, i don't expect cannabis addictive gamblers not to smoke weeds during their stay in the casinos (we all know how this happen in the spaces where consuming is forbidden by local laws) .

Indeed! why owners will let gamblers to quit their games just to take some joint if they can give them space and let them enjoy this habits and go back to play more, this is how  casino owners see this, knowing that in each gamblers they've  got inside the house, there's in need of taking time to smoke out.

By giving the space and let it do legally this action will bring more gamblers to use the platform, can't deny that everything is done for the sake of more money to fow around.

I would like to have a good time in casinos and it is great to hear that Vegas casinos are allowing Cannabis lounges which is unheard of in other states but even if i go there by chance to gamble i will never do so high as the purpose for me is to enjoy the moment and gamble and then on the last day i might have a blast and that said there is a remote chance of me ever visiting Vegas in my lifetime :D .

They wont do things that it wont benefit them so its just normal that we would say that this is for the sake for more profits.They do know on how to make their players feel comfortable
and cannabis is something that would do the job.Having some break time and smoking will really ease some stress and for sure if you do still have money in your pocket
then you would surely be continuing to play once your done in smoking and when the time you dont already have money in your pocket
then its time to go home. lol.  :D

Not all that is offered to us will be useful for us in winning or enjoying more of the games. It just will benefit the casino since it attracts more time for players to play and stay on the casino. The competition of each casinos maybe too high that some already offered other services which we may not want now but when we there or when situation occurs we might use it.

As simple as it is, more focused on how they'll get more money and satisfied customers that will comeback to their place, everything is in plan as owners do know how to please their clients.

This actions puts them in a much better place, allowing those gamblers to take their rest smoking cannabis they'll surely goes back outside their proper knowledge.

One hit goals not to allow those gamblers not to feel the enjoyment that they'll looking while playing inside the place.

Its always possible the operation that invests in the hotel side would also be able to invest in the fast growing green operations that supply such a lounge.  I dont see this as an advantage for the gambler themselves exactly but the friends of the gamblers certainly it makes the facilities more welcoming and open to those who wish to make it a vacation.
   It will depend which variant of the drug is provided as to the effect, the wrong type will just put people to sleep too early but doubtful they would be using that more the energy type though they all have some come down.  If alcohol somehow doesn't turn into a negative to end games early I guess cannabis wont its mostly the image and draw to potential customers and in the fantasies type holiday destination category  similar as all the other detail to what big Vegas operations provide.    Doesn't work for me personally, its the natural desert I'd most like to explore maybe a nice supercar hire car.

With under the effect cannabis, it's the other hand, gamblers instead will feel the enjoyment while gambling as they are more relaxed.

If the cannabis will make people not comfortable during gambling, Vegas won't put that thing there as it will discourage gambling.

It served a good purpose and that's to encourage more gambling.

Depends on how the people are going to process weed in their system, I don't think that everyone is going to have the same effect with weed. Maybe the casinos want to sell weed because they want their clients to spend more on their establishment.

This is an interesting way to view things, if seen from that perspective the only ones that could benefit from this are the ones that are in the casino not to enjoy the adrenaline rush that it gives, so probably the only ones that can take 100% of the benefits offered by this are those that are there to close down a deal with other people or those that are in fact professional gamblers and that are not there to enjoy their time in the casino but to make money and they need to relax.

Maybe he can't just do it at home when you are sharing your apartment with someone, you just can't do it. And it's fun to party while high. It's just having a party that's fun but gambling while high might just cost you more than the money you spent on the weed.  Although we may have different effects on weed I have lots of experience with it. Decision-making is different than what you usually do.

No matter what the intentions are it would be still on casinos advantage and of course into those players who do really get some perks like this on taking cannabis or having some good time or relaxation.

You can already see on what are the advantage of giving out this kind of allowing cannabis on casino lounges.You know what are the their motives are but of course you would really

still see that people do love it because its rare to see cannabis to be allowed.

We cannot categorize it as something that manipulates users because there are users that are good when they high on cannabis, the lounge is a form of support for the cannabis community for giving them a special place in the casinos because some of them are high rollers who can afford to lose huge money, gambling casinos will give lounge to people who spend a lot to their community and cannabis users are one of them and they give them a place to do their stuff because there are players who are also not into cannabis.

We all know the real reason why casinos decided to allow cannabis, because it will reduce the gambler's chance of winning. And this means that
casinos can make more money, but surprisingly many gamblers don't mind it. Because they can enjoy using cannabis, which not all places
allow cannabis. In the end it comes back to everyone's decision, but as long as there is no coercion from the casino to use cannabis I don't think
it's a problem.

Bottomline, another income generating for the casino.
So players should know what they are getting into so they won't regret once they are out of the casino premises.
This kind of service, has the assurance that it will be a hit. Casino owners just added their money making machine.

Cannabis is legalized in most of the states and i am not sure when Las Vegas legalized cannabis and there is no complaint against them as they are making full use of the opportunity and opening a Cannabis Lounges which will attract a certain community of members who are using Cannabis on a daily basis and they can now expect a huge number of turnouts and bookings .

Cannabis and gambling does not really works together because the sense to initiate things under the normal faculty will be limited jeopardizing the consciousness that is required to execute things will be slimmer. Although their are gamblers that are very conscious when drunk and could have sharper thinking to do things fast.
The casino provider would benefit more from this cause many people will still fall for this trap making them to lose a lot of money without being fully aware.

You are correct when you say that, but at the same time the fact that gamblers seem to be happy about this indicates that this is not only a business decision by the casino, this is a also decision that was taken because the gamblers wanted it, which makes sense, the number of gamblers that can earn money at the casino is limited and while the number of people that want to achieve this is higher the majority of the gamblers are people that just want to have a good time and this will help them to achieve exactly that.

Neither that Cannabis lounge was purely decided by the management itself or in result with public or players demands then it doesnt matter because no matter what angle you would be looking at then they would be still having the edge.

I dont really believe much about lessening the chances of winning because luck cant really be influenced by any other external factors that is happening unless if dealing with games
which requires critical thinking then this would mostly be affected on.

Theyll do all sorts of things for their benefit and its always a business.

I disagree. It's been over ages now that Vegas casinos players are mostly hard cannabis users and since it's "gambling" we shouldn't blame the effect of cannabis on why there are losers. The cannabis lounge was built because taking it there is already common and usual. It's a form of entertainment, like how cafes and bars are built and besides, it's not only open to those people who will gamble. It's for everyone!


Not true. The casino will benefit from these lounges, not thru gambling but cannabis surely has a price, obviously. Casino lounges will sell it and that's where their profit will come. As I said, the lounge is not only available and is limited for only gamblers. It was also available for other customers that just want to spend time relaxing on the lounge.

Oh, that can make them feel free to use Cannabis while they gamble, making them lose control over themselves. But I agree that maybe some gamblers who use Cannabis can play better if they consume Cannabis, but not many of them. Hopefully, their place will be separate from the regular gamblers because that can disturb them and make them not focus on the game.

But even those gamblers consume Cannabis, they still need to take care of themselves. Otherwise, they will lose like the regular gambler and they will get fly because of that Cannabis.

It wouldn't be a Cannabis lounge now would it if they actually included regular gamblers with them right? I reckon it's either the lounge has its own games or gamblers are allowed to only take in Cannabis inside the lounge, and they have to finish it before they actually gamble. They can't do both at the same time.
True, they'd cater for customers that would only like to socialize and the like, IF the lounges are public. If it were private however, then they'd profit mostly from private meetings and parties and the like if they allowed it to be hosted on their lounges.

goinmerry, I think that people should more informed of how cannabis, and basically cannabidiol works on human body, and that it can be really helpful against the stress. In that way, maybe there would be more followers of legalization of cannabis in the states, which are still pending. To understand how great CBD flowers can be - you should try something rare from those, like Apple Strüdel or Blanca Nova (CBD Moon Rocks) hemp flowers, which you can find at CBD hemp flower (https://blacktiecbd.net/collections/cbd-hemp-flowers) site called Black Tie CBD. It has plenty of truly popular scents of hemp flowers, and has pretty acceptable prices for those cbd products. You should check it out.

Many addicts believe that using drugs helps them expand their consciousness. Perhaps this is the reason why cannabis smokers go out and attend public events to get new experiences rather than using cannabis alone at home.   

I hope the casino will consider that because if they do not have a separate room between regular gamblers and the other gamblers who consume Cannabis, they will not be comfortable. I do not know if they can not do both simultaneously or they can do that while they gamble.

After all, that news can make gamblers who consume Cannabis will happy with that.

If they can use it as per dose, that will not have a bad impact, but usually, people will use that over and get the worst. Maybe there will be a regulation for more about using Cannabis at the casino.

I don't use it and still contemplating about the pros and cons of it. But I've heard really about it being used medically but for recreational purposes, it's where people are having debates.

But if Las Vegas allows that to have a lounge for specific use like for recreational activity, it really depends on the state rule of their local government.

It wont really be approved if they would see more in negative effects than with positive ones and of course cannabis does have some benefits but we know that everything is too much
would be always bad and for sure they are limiting out on how much a player could smoke on and wont really be having that unlimited smoking of weed on the premises unless if
you do really have deep pocket then they might  really be changing up their minds and we know that money could change up everything and no one would ever do make some
complaints or trying to tell the government or something like that.

I am not experienced in this, so I can not assume any specific things about the motivation of drug addicts  ;D But it seems to me that this is relevant for beginners who experiment and try different things and their combinations. An experienced addict (from gambling or from drugs) knows exactly what he wants and it is unlikely that this is a visit to the casino (if he is addicted to drugs).

I read a lot about different kinds of drug addiction. I wondered why people use drugs and how it affects their health and the people around them. If I'm not mistaken, a cannabis addict can easily combine his addiction with almost any activity, which cannot be said about a person who uses heroin or some other hard drugs. 

This is also my first thought it could reduce your winning chances in casino games. We all know that your chance of winning in casino is 49% and for casino is 51% then it would be reduce if you  are drunk or high. But if we are just saying that we are playing just to be entertain to enjoy or to have past time then it is okay . Well, cannabis lounge is beneficial to users, but it is also beneficial to non-users. The true output of this lounge would be more money for casino owners.

I have not heard that marijuana makes a person aggressive and gives him a thirst for adventure (in my opinion, these emotions are good for the feelings experienced from gambling). In my opinion, gambling goes well with alcohol and other drugs, but not marijuana.
But we probably shouldn't talk about some kind of compatibility of the services provided by the casino - the casino just provides the whole range of services that are legalized.

 :D  You must not smoke weed or have only a time or two because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.  Marijuana and alcohol are VERY different "drugs".  In fact I don't consider weed a drug, I consider it a medicine.  The truth is sugar is a FAR WORSE drug than marijuana is, to put it in to perspective.  Getting high does not equal bad decisions.  For example I smoke weed while studying and taking major financial licensing exams.  It helps me concentrate in a big way.  Now some types of weed don't but many types do.  People who have no clue about marijuana say stuff like you have here.

Edit: Marijuana does not "shoot up" your adrenaline levels lol wtf.  Dude you need to do some more homework before you keep spouting out a bunch of nonsense propaganda.  You sound like an absolute fool ( so do all the others here whom think marijuana legalization is a bad thing.  I say to you get out of the past and learn the truth).

I can't comment on heroin because it probably completely destroys human perception, so I don't think anyone can play anything under its influence. As for cocaine, I am sure that combining it with gambling is at least several times dangerous than combining marijuana with gambling.


Believe me, everything is much more fun after smoking marijuana and you are hungry a lot to go on a gambling adventure. It even seems to me that person is much more cautious after marijuana than alcohol.

That is not a good thing, because the person is artificially provoking a behavior on their body that isn't spontaneous. Worse yet, it is being caused by putting dangerous substances into their bodies. Public opinion thinks it's beautiful to be a drugs user nowadays, but these people are actually too young to know anything about the side effects this activity will cause futurely. Even mental ilness are related to drugs use.
And the more the person uses it, the more they will want. You said people become funny after smoking marijuana, however they won't be able to have any fun without this drug anymore, always having to use it constantly to feel good. In other words: the person becomes slave or a prisioner of the drug.

And indeed, an artificially happiness feeling can lead the individual to do absurd things momently, like spending more than he can afford to lose in gambling.

People would have different mindset or reactions when it comes to that until they would realize that theyre wrong in the times on where body is already starting to feel or does show those implications on too much using or involving into something neither drug or anything that could really be addicted and which this isnt a surprising thing. Some would be seeing this to be normal or typical but you should really know on how to protect
your body because once it do breaks down then you know on whats next.

Hmmm... I hope you meant the casino, not me. I do not promote drugs and stay away from them.
As for casinos, as I already wrote offline casinos are complex entertainment systems and they will provide any legal service, absolutely any. I will not be surprised if after a dozen years it will be possible to fly into space after a big win, smoke a weed there and return to the gambling table. And all this without leaving the casino.

Anyway, when the body and mind are contaminated by drugs then it will only create fantasies for him that will not be controlled. So, when the pleasant fantasy has affected them, in the end they will not be able to gamble well, although gambling will be good to do when the mood is good but not by taking drugs to get that mood. The right choice is to gamble first and after you decide to stop whether it's winning or losing from gambling, then next you can look for other pleasures and it's also good to smoke marijuana if it's good for you and don't have to force it.

Do many of you guys not realize how absolutely foolish you sound whom think that marijuana is some kind of crazy hardcore drug?!  Smoking weed will not make yo do crazy things, it will not make you a bad gambler, it does not raise your adrenaline etc.  I am amazed at how many people in here are utterly and completely misinformed when it comes to marijuana.  If you are against the legalization of marijuana than you're an idiot.  Plain and simple.  You have no clue what you're talking about and need to educate yourself before you keep spewing propaganda. You all are acting like marijuana is some sort of hardcore drug like crack or heroin.

If you're against marijuana legalization then you sure as hell should be against alcohol legalization and should want sugar to be made illegal too.  Sugar is a drug, and a drug that is FAR FAR FAR more harmful than marijuana.  Marijuana has never killed anyone.  Do you realize how many people have died because of sugar? SMH  ::)

I heard there were even gamblers in Vegas doing the cocaines now.  What do you think of that?  Does it give you an edge due to heightened alert levels or is it a negative because drugs are bad?  I bet it gives you an edge otherwise casinos would be setting up cocaine lounges for all the suckers.

I am not sure with regards to the effects of different types of drugs, but nonetheless, both the casino and the government should take accountability and transparency with the impacts of such lounges especially to the overall health of casino players and on gambling situations. It might be a good thing for some players and the casinos, but given the instances, addiction is seemingly being fostered at this rate.

some governments in different countries have different views on the legality of cannabis...

my country is one that banned cannabis and put it in the category of drugs because it has a high effect on hallucinations and addiction. cannabis users have no common sense and many cannabis users in my country are going crazy. I can't imagine how a gambler plays gamble when he finishes using cannabis.

Just because a country banns something doesn't mean its wrong or bad, it can just mean they are uniformed or do so for a purpose that benefits them.  Some countries, like China, don't allow for people to practice their own religion..is that fair?  Some countries don't let women drive or vote, is that right or fair?

You are obviously completely misinformed.  Marijuana does not make you hallucinate  :D  It's also not addictive.  That is a huge fallacy.  I have smoked marijuana for over 20 years.  I've got a great job, good life etc.  I smoke marijuana when I take financial licensing exams such as the Series 7 which is a 6 hour exam and incredibly difficult.  Marijuana helps me focus/concentrate.  You are 100% uneducated on this topic and don't know what marijuana really is if you think that way.  Your country's laws around it are flat out wrong, and outdated.  

Wow, you look really angry because some people don't cheer on drugs use. I believe no one is forcing you to stop smoking your weed. Everyone is free to do what they want with their lives. People think it's exciting to gamble while under drugs' effects and they have the right to go ahead into this psychodelic adventure. That is how free will works since the beginning of the world, but there are consequences that can't be avoided.

And although it's a clear sign of the decadence of the individual, there is also a good side on it that is the bad propaganda every drugs' user makes for drugs usage. The youngsters think they are smarter than everyone else for using drugs the same way those old hippies from 60's-70's and artists in general thought during their days. Just look how those people have gotten older (or died). That is the perfect propaganda against drugs.

Your luck will not change but your decision making will, for example supposing that you only wanted to spend a couple hundred dollars at the casino but then you are intoxicated with alcohol and cannabis you may find yourself losing that money too quickly and using your credit or debit card to get more chips and losing way more money than what you intended in the first place, see? Your luck did not changed but the money that you lost certainly did.

That's some positive news but it is not enough.

Gambling after smoking is cool but what about woman? Make this available to the players and now it is trifecta. Sex, Drugs and Dice'n'Roll baby. You can't get closer to the 80's than this.

Most people already gamble on online casinos, you need to offer some good stuff to bring them back to the real life casinos.

And no Cinnabon kiosk.  That's a little irresponsible of those casinos. 

Then why Las Vegas is now turning to what it should be prior to the pandemic?

The usual and regular customers will surely back to the Vegas gambling haven no matter what on which they don't experience playing in online casinos. They are just waiting for the pandemic situation to be fully controlled or make sure that their country already reached great numbers of vaccinated people.

No need to add some cool stuff just to attract again those people to get back gambling physically.

Several things would be surely be affected because you are in influenced of weed or alcohol or something that affects your mind then you would definitely end up on losing even more
because of bad decision and its a plus for the casino,theyre intent is just to make you spend more.

They will normally be minding for their own benefit no matter what the cost and no matter what ways it would be as long they would really be having the advantage.

Here is a novel idea if you can't handle the 2 together don't partake or second don't go.  There are plenty of things that are legal (alcohol being one of them).  I've seen people smashed at the casinos that had no business gambling, I actually think this is better than drinking in a gambling environment.

I am not here promoting cocaine, or heroin or crack or anything else...I AM MAD because I am sick and tired of people whom are completely uniformed/brain washed etc when it comes to marijuana.  The legalization of marijuana in the United States has been a MASSIVE success so far and will continue to be so.  I am MAD because marijuana does a TON of good in this world and is desperately needed by many people with health or mental issues and since there are so many people whom believe all of the propaganda ( mostly people whom have never smoked or ingested marijuana) it's taking it way too long to become legalized.  I understand much of the eastern hemisphere of the world is behind in the times ( just stating basic facts here, I mean no offense ) and your governments have been lying to you for decades, but you need to stop believing everything your overlord has been telling you and look at the actual research, the facts.  There is a reason the Food and Drug Administration of the United States recently legalized the first ever marijuana based medicine...because marijuana IS medicine.  Marijuana has helped save countless lives, even my own mother.  This isn't bullshit, this is years of my own research, and that of many others.  If you are against the legalization of marijuana you are inadvertently hurting people..plain and simple.

Moral of this story, no one in the Casinos HAVE to smoke weed..that is THEIR choice.  Not to mention many people will simply smoke weed outside of the casinos or use vape pens inside and smoke weed, so really it wont make much of a difference at all.

As long as you can handle yourself and you're not harming anyone, that's fine with me. Use it responsibly so to speak. Marijuana has medical usage itself, but of course abusing the use of it may have unfavorable consequences. So it is up to the person how he will use this privilege. The casinos just give the opportunity for people to easily avail cannabis and that it is up to them how they use it.

Surely its just part of the perks because hooking up people to stay into their vicinity would really be their main concern or motive and this is why these kind of privilege's had been created.

Its no brainer that this is for their own benefit and of course as a gambler you would really able to smoke weed without worrying about legal issues or something like that

because we know that it is mostly prohibited in all parts or countries in the world and you cant see this kind of feature that a casino to have.

When you lose control over yourself, you will not know what you will deal with, which is happening to many people. The casino will have their rule allowing people to use marijuana or something like that because the casino wants to give a chance for people who consume that to playing the gambling games and feel the experience. I think people who consume marijuana, especially those with a history of medical consuming marijuana, will know how and when they can consume it because if they use it over the limit, that can impact their health.

No idea if they're also limiting how much a player can smoke on that lounge.

It's like an incentive and benefit for the gamblers who have been gambling there so they're giving them a favor. Maybe you can look at the ruling how exactly it says.

And if there's a rule about limitations for each of the gamblers that will go to that lounge. We know that everything is too much and could cause some problems but in their ruling, we're also guessing.

La Vegas is a touristic city, I am sure the regulars are already there playing like usual but this is not enough to sustain the city they need to bring people back and I think this is something they believe can do this, after all despite cannabis being legalized in many states on the US it is still illegal in the majority of the states so they are adding this as an incentive to those people that may like to use it legally and have a good time at the casino at the same time.

Not only to residents of the US, but this will be a good tourist destination of other rich foreigners, where cannabis is banned in their country. And we know that up until now, most countries don't have the legality for cannabis usage. This will be a good spot for them where they can enjoy themselves without worrying about getting caught. I believe when they think about offering this service, they are not only thinking about the regular residents but other gamblers outside their country.

When you go to vegas, you don't think of winning but you think of enjoying, at least I believe that's what the majority of people think. Adding Cannabis lounges is very unique, people could go high, they can enjoy and lose money at the same time, of course, it favors the casino and their profit will drastically increase.
The government hasn't done anything about it because it's allowed probably in this state, so it's not a big deal as long as it will not result in these gamblers committing crimes.

Wont believe on that unsustainable part because if we do look on bigger picture then these companies are really making some serious profits and of course as an owner then you would really be finding ways or methods

to make more and this is a common mindset for most of them and which it isnt surprising that they do end up on finding ways to make more and it would be.

For those who do love to experience Weed then this place would be a perfect place but of course but you would really be a regular player for sure.

Plans from casinos to allow or incorporate cannabis lounges should not be met with a negative opinion, it is a way to make more money, but not in the manner that OP is trying to portray. Rather see it as a move to entice a new set of people to gambling casinos.

Take it or leave it, some people like to drink alcohol and will never smoke, while some others do not fancy alcohol but can smoke and so on...the whole idea is around increasing business by inviting a new set of money spenders into it. Alcohol and cannabis if not taken in moderation but in excess can affect your chances of winning, you are being partial if you put cannabis in that category alone.

But right now, I think it is not easy to travel to another country because we are still at a pandemic and that is not yet shown when to end.
Yes, that can raise tourism for a country that legalizes gambling and cannabis, but at this moment, maybe the local people can feel that experience.
But for people who already move from offline casinos to online casinos can still consume cannabis at their homes and they are free to do that.
After this pandemic ends and the tourism sector is reopened, it will be time for the offline casino to return to their business with some surprises to their old members.

If you are going to ask me, being a bit intoxicated with cannabis might lose one's focus when gambling. I don't think you can make a high person be able to gamble efficiently. The best way to have those rooms is always to have a sign or warnings that would remind people the risks of gambling while intoxicated. That way you will be able to at least lecture people about the negative aspects of gambling while high or intoxicated with alcohol. Also responsible gamblers should know that risk as well. Only fools gamble while high.

I agree with you, modern offline casinos are not only gambling, but many other entertainments and by creating opportunities for each narrow group of lovers of something, the casino only expands its business, plus creates opportunities for lovers of some specific entertainment to get acquainted with other types of entertainment and spend extra money.

Even though I don't agree with gambling while drunk but I still can't say they are fools, because I believe gambling itself is all about luck. Because some of my friends do that and sometimes they still get the win, so in this case if you are not used to doing both at the same time it is better to avoid it. It's different when they are used to doing both at the same time so I think they already know the risks and are ready to accept them, because if they are ready with the risks, at least they can still be responsible for what they do.

I saw this many times . people that are just hanging out with their friends or family and for fun only in modern offline casino. so offering more things that are interesting for many people is very good for satisfying the entertainment they want. in offline casinos it is not always about to earn money but more for entertainment and a place to hang out for them who likes that thing.

You might call them fools but there are people who would really see this as a great stuff and also with that warning sign or something like that then those gambling company owners would surely be allocating

a specific room for that and wont really just place it on near hallway or where the crowd is passing on unless if they would intently on making that stuff on their own.

Why would you smoke out if you do know that you would get high if you do still play after that?

Here some main rule for that integration.

"The rules are still being written, but lounges will not be allowed to host gambling or alcohol. Regulators are also defining the types of cannabis products that will be allowed in lounges, but the bill legalizes smoking on premises and the consumption of single-serve THC-infused edibles and beverages. Live entertainment will also be allowed."
Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2021/06/11/cannabis-consumption-lounges-are-coming-to-las-vegas/?sh=6e004f8a6efd

Its clear that they put out some limits.

Agree, a lot of people are in casinos for fun only but I saw or read an article way back a year a go that there are professionals in gambling which they are make for a living out of it. I only skim that article but my question in my mind is how do they do it that they are winning a lot and also entertained at the same time. It is very risky in gambling since anything could happen and we all knew that gambling is pure luck to win.

Regarding lounges is it is really okay to those people who is using Cannabis but those people that are not using i think they kinda scared or be curious about it and try it.

If you think that after using cannabis a gambler stops understanding something, loses attention or concentration when gambling, you are greatly mistaken. An experienced cannabis smoker will play almost as well as if he were sober.

Since cannabis is legal now in that region its users should strive to be responsible users, some people lose their control once they are high some very sober, whatever effect it will have on individuals, we should understand their behavior as long as they are not picking a fight and not misbehaving in the lounge, the lounge is a privilege, not a right so they should behave and be responsible while they are in the lounge.

Or maybe the casino will provide places for cannabis users in which will separate them from not users Like what Smokers and Non smokers has in every casino houses.

Like me i am not smoker so my place is in people that does not smoking also.

though you are correct because there are week smokers that cannot carry the effect and become wild and senseless when solved by this drugs.

It makes sense i mean if it is legal in that state why should casinos not allow for their customers and because you can only smoke in lounges it also means that people that don't smoke are not disturbed by the smell and the smoke. I don't really think that you are at a higher risk at losing if you have smoked a joint before or during gambling, i mean cannabis just makes you feel more relaxed i don't really think it necessarily increases the willingness to take big risks. It's is possible though that you just don't care that much anymore though after you smoked a joint and therefore make some weird bets or calls  :).
Just look at alcohol. If you have drunk you definitely are willing to take more risks than before and drinking is also allowed so i don't think that smoking cannabis is worse than that.

The operation of a casino is always associated with aggression, disappointment or happiness - great emotions. Many people behave inappropriately in such conditions, therefore casinos have long ago debugged security and a containment system aimed at maintaining order. I don't think this new kind of entertainment will change anything much here.

You are right I forgot about that and it may even be more attractive to foreigners, after all with so many states on the US that have legalized the use of cannabis for recreational purposes it is not difficult for people living in a state in which it is forbidden to travel to a state in which it is allowed and just enjoy it there if they want it without having to travel to Las Vegas, but for foreigners going to Las Vegas this could be the easier route to do this.

And I'm not sure how the casino can protect their gamblers if the authorities will get into them knowing their illegal activities. That is really disappointing that they allowed it for the sake that the gamblers will stay with them and to keep awake playing. Too much greediness, isn't it.
Now I could say how greedy they are and the government must have to take action with this as possible that not only cannabis have found inside it might be more.

Do you really think or believe that they havent get any approval to the government about imposing or creating such cannabis lounge? They wont really be taking a suicide decision if they do know that their business

would be potentially stopped.Of course they do already have the permit knowing that cannabis is mostly illegal in most places in the world which its understandable that they would really be needing some approval

before they can proceed and those things wont exist if they werent permitted on the first place.

Here's the bill.
https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021/Bill/7877/Text

So its already  legal and its allowed which is really a very rare thing for government to do so.

It's only rare in countries that don't legalize the proper use of cannabis. However, in the USA, the legalization of it already takes place for a long time now. According to this article (https://www.fool.com/investing/timeline-for-marijuana-legalization-in-the-united.aspx), the whole process of legalization starts from 1996 until now on which five of these laws especially stand out because of their significant impact.

It's legal by papers there so Vegas was able to deploy the lounge on their casinos without any problem.

People who consume cannabis will be like to play gambling in Las Vegas because they can consume cannabis without worry if that thing is illegal. It makes Las Vegas like a one-stop place to playing gambling and spend money and enjoy gambling games. I guess that can make the income of the casino will increase, especially if many casinos reopen their business and invite their customer and new customer. And people who use cannabis for their treatment can consume cannabis while they can also playing gambling.

not much change but yet there will be because Cannabis is another Vices that casino will entertain aside from Liquor and Cigarettes now there is weed than can bring different effect to gamblers.
From Users to non users surely this will effect the Gambling ground from then .
Though i am wishing without negative effect yet the possibilities are there always.
But lets see when this implemented and what will bring to all of the US gamblers.

If there are any changes, they will be rather positive in my opinion. Weed has a completely harmless effect on the user, usually it helps to calm and positive. Alcohol usually has the opposite effect, so if players drink less and smoke more, the casino is more likely to have fewer problems.

The difference is that you can't smoke while gambling as far as I know, not sure about cigarettes but I am pretty sure weed is not allowed while gambling so that is why there are cannabis lounges which means that people will be basically taking a leave from gambling, go some other place and smoke their weed there and they will be able to simply just focus on that, then they will come out and smoke somewhere else, which is basically what this will do, allow people to take a break from gambling and who knows maybe it will make some of them stop?

At the end of the day, I do not see this any different or worse from getting drunk, that is still the number one thing they are trying to achieve, to make you drunk because when you are drunk you end up with basically losing so much money constantly that you will not be able to stop because you are drunk.

The casino industry being so fundamental for the state of Las Vegas will not do something like this unless they had the approval of the state government, now you may disagree with this decision and you are within your rights to do so but it is obvious they could not take this decision and make it pubic for everyone to see if they did not had all the necessary paperwork that allowed them to do this on the first place, so do not worry this is perfectly legal.

Looks like Erdogan is banned, and by LoyceV research I merited him before that happened. Anyway, this is a nice reminder about the casino cannabis lounge and my words back then... after this thread, I never saw anyone else mentioning something like this. I guess this kind of fun is still reserved for some VIP parties.

Well, if there is a casino with a "special room" I will put it at the top of my "places to visit" list! Not being able to make a cigar while gambling is one of the main reasons why I don't go to land-based casinos.
