A lot of the "smoke situation" varies with the design of the casino. Casinos that are newer and have the new, better air systems have cleaner air; and newer casinos also tend to have higher ceilings which also helps to allow for the smoke to clear away.

A lot of the "smoke situation" also varies with location and time of play. In the high limit area at Caesars there are fewer smokers. In the Palace Court slots area where there is one $5 Bonus game, I rarely see anyone smoke and there usually aren't that many players by the video poker machines.

In the craps pit you will always find smokers except that I found in the early morning hours 3am to 6am the smokers are not there.
