Sin City Smokers: Where to Puff in Peace (and Possibly Avoid a Nicotine-Fueled Ninja Fight)
Let's face it, folks, Vegas isn't quite the same free-for-all ashtray it used to be. Smoke machines are fading faster than a bad magician's career, and those glorious clouds of cigarette smoke are slowly dispersing like a magician's disappearing act. But fear not, nicotine warriors, there's still hope for your Vegas vacation! We've got the lowdown on the smokin' digs in Sin City where you can light up without the stink-eye (from most people, anyway).

| What Hotels In Las Vegas Have Smoking Rooms |
The OG Smoker Havens: These Guys Haven't Ashed Out Yet
The Downtown Duo: The Plaza Hotel and Casino and Golden Nugget both proudly proclaim their dedication to the smoking life. These bastions of smoky bliss offer designated smoking rooms, so you can puff away without feeling like a fugitive. Just don't blame us if you get mistaken for a character from Ocean's Eleven while plotting your next big win in a haze of cigarette smoke.
Off the Strip Gems: Venture beyond the glitz of the Las Vegas Strip and you'll find some hidden treasures for smokers. South Point Hotel and Casino, Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, and The Orleans Hotel & Casino all offer smoking rooms, perfect for those who like their excitement with a side of nicotine. Plus, you might just avoid the crowds and find some hidden gems (and maybe a cheaper roulette table).
The Maybe-Maybes: Smoking by Stealth (Not Recommended)
High Rollers and Smoke Signals: Some high-end hotels, like The Palazzo at the Venetian, dedicate specific floors to smokers. These can be a good option, but be prepared to navigate the elevator ride of shame (or triumph, depending on your perspective) to your designated floor.
Balcony Bluffs: This is a gamble, folks. Technically, some balconies might allow smoking, but check with the hotel first. There's nothing worse than getting busted for a balcony smoke sesh and ruining your Vegas vibe. Plus, second-hand smoke wars with your neighbors are a real downer (especially if they have a water gun filled with something other than water).
Important Note: Always check with the hotel directly before booking. Smoking policies can change faster than a magician's disappearing rabbit, and you don't want any surprises (unless you're into magic, of course).
FAQ: Your Questions Answered (with a Wink)
How to find out for sure if a Las Vegas hotel has smoking rooms?
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Call the hotel directly. They'll be happy to answer your question (and maybe try to sell you a show or a buffet while they're at it).
How to avoid a fight with a non-smoker over second-hand smoke?
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.

Be courteous, light up in designated areas only, and maybe offer them a breath mint (or a million bucks, that usually works).
How to pack for a Vegas smoking adventure?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
The usual essentials (sunglasses, lucky socks), plus a healthy supply of cigarettes, a portable ashtray (because flicking butts on the floor is just rude), and maybe some eye drops (all that smoke can be drying).
How to deal with a non-smoking friend who's coming to Vegas with you?
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Plan your smoking breaks strategically (think bathroom exhaust fan trick, but at your own risk) or bribe them with endless buffets and show tickets.
How to blow off some steam after a rough night at the roulette table (with a cigarette, of course)?
Head to a designated smoking area, take a deep breath (of fresh air, hopefully), and remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas (except for the lingering smell of smoke in your clothes, that might travel home with you).
