Note: this thread was already posted at CWise, sorry if you have to read through it twice. I have not been there in a while and I was wondering; Is there anyplace inside Foxwoods that you can smoke cigars? I was hoping to be able to plop down, make some bets, and enjoy a nice cigar. If anyone will be in the area at that time I would love to meet up with some guys.

Members of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America UAW union, which represents gaming industry workers, addressed the Connecticut legislature's Public Health Committee and Labor and Public Employees Committee on Monday in an informational hearing on the topic of extending the smoking ban in public places to include casinos, which are exempt from statewide smoking prohibitions passed in An assistant floor supervisor in the table games department at Foxwoods casino, Heather Sanford, said players could be smoking while inches away from dealers, and "we're trapped while poison is blown directly into our faces," The Day reports.

Due to the pandemic, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun have voluntarily stopped allowing smoking. But representatives of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Mohegan Tribe , which respectively operate Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, said such an extension would violate tribal sovereignty. He said he welcomes any discussion as it relates to health but "can't support the state of Connecticut acting in a manner that is disrespectful or contrary to tribal sovereignty and our government-to-government relationship.

Kaighn Smith , an attorney representing the tribal nation, said he was surprised by the interest in passing a bill when collective bargaining could address smoking. UAW Region 9A Director Beverley Brakeman said she had a brief conversation with Butler expressing interest in continuing the ban beyond the pandemic and he seemed open to it. But she said the union only has a collective bargaining agreement with Foxwoods and can't negotiate with Mohegan Sun.

At Foxwoods, year dealer David Sherman said the union has negotiated non-smoking pits but there are more dealers asking to get into those pits than there are spots. He said collective bargaining is not enough. Secondhand smoke consultant James Repace cited a document from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers stating that neither ventilation, air distribution, nor air cleaning should be relied upon to control exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.

Guests who are feeling sick or unwell are advised to stay away from others in public and return to Foxwoods once they are feeling better. We encourage you to use wipes to clean rails, slot surfaces, and other contact areas. Additionally, our Cleaning Ambassadors are rolling out an advanced cleaning schedule for all surfaces hourly, and overnight deep cleaning nightly. Decon 30, an all-natural botanical cleaner is used to deep clean dice, chips, and all casino surfaces.

With the wave of new and more restrictive smoking bans across the United States, it has gotten harder and harder to find places that allow smoking, especially the kind involved in a Big Smoke. More than a 1, or 2, people lighting up at the same kind can present serious challenges for any hotel or party space.

So, when we find accommodating locations like the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, we can only be grateful, and with an eye toward next year, let everyone know what a great night we had there. The ballroom is huge, not quite as big as the ones we use in Las Vegas, but with high ceilings and a great ventilation system. The hotel, although a little off the beaten track, is less than 90 minutes by car from Boston, and about two hours from New York City.

There are two great golf courses on the property at the Lake of Isles club, two casinos and a number of outstanding restaurants. You can count on it. The cigar manufacturers loved it. The people I spoke with, like the two young men at the bar, loved it. See ya next year.
