NJ's Borgata building outdoor smoking lounges
Smoking casino patrons visiting the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa this fall will still be able to light up, but not inside. The casino is planning to comply with a new law banning smoking on the casino floor by constructing covered outdoor smoking areas, which won't be completely enclosed, in the hopes of keeping loyal customers who smoke. The Borgata will also do a massive renovation of its 2,000 hotel rooms this fall at a cost of "tens of millions of dollars," president Larry Mullin told The Associated Press Wednesday. "It will be very nice looking," Mullin said of the lounges, adding that they will cost several million dollars to build. "We also think it will be very popular with our employees." The outdoor smoking areas won't require a ventilation system like an indoor smoking lounge would, and will be heated in the winter months to keep smokers comfortable, Mullin said. Smoking will still be permitted in some hotel rooms.
