A smoking ban inside Nevada casinos would have at least one vocal supporter – Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which counts more than 60,000 members who work in non-gaming areas in Strip and downtown resorts.
Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said in a statement the union would poll hospitality workers to gauge their interest in non-smoking casinos. He said the union “welcomed” the news of Park MGM becoming an entirely smoke-free casino.
“It's long overdue for an entirely smoke-free casino in Las Vegas, and the Culinary Union is completely supportive,” Pappageorge said.
