My timing sucks

The LA Times ran a story a few days ago about casinos cutting back on free drinks:

Today I saw an article about how eventually casinos will go smoke-free:

At the rate it's going, however, the end of free drinks in casinos will happen before the end of smoking in casinos, which means my ideal craps-shooting scenario -- with whiskey, without cigarette smoke -- may never come to pass.

*sigh*

First article refers to Caesars and MGM Grand...in other words, the strip. The strip is fast becoming a tourist trap catering only to the convention crowd that doesn't know any better. Plenty of free booze elsewhere in Vegas...

ME, if you care to make a trip down to the Gulf Coast, you can live the dream. I know that both Harrah's New Orleans and The Palace in Biloxi are both 100% smoke-free with comp drink service.
