Yup!

Las Vegas banned smoking except on the Casino floors last year. That pleased management in my company not a lot so they investigated holding our annual meeting elsewhere.

Seems an all inclusive in Cancun, where there’s an ashtray every 3 feet or so is saving the corporation around 250K. It won’t be long before that word gets around the Fortune 500 crowd; in fact I guess it already did seeing as while we are there taking a mere 500 rooms or so some other American firm is coming in and taking 800 while yet another is taking 1400 – and this is all at one resort.

Foxwoods has made it clear that they intend to continue the fight to keep UAW out. CGG isn't it their right to fight this or should they just submit? It only a matter of time before the casinos are forced to ban smoking due to union thugs claiming unhealthy work conditions. It's one of the few places in CT you can have a cigar in public.

It only a matter of time before the casinos are forced to ban smoking due to union thugs claiming unhealthy work conditions.

It’s one of the few places in CT you can have a cigar in public.
