It’s been almost a year and a half since Park MGM reopened as a smoke-free resort, a breath of fresh air among Las Vegas casinos where gamblers have long accepted the stale odor of cigarette smoke as part of the deal.
And while Park MGM customers welcome the no-smoking rules in reviews on hotel booking sites like Priceline, MGM remains reserved, saying little publicly about the change. The fact that it remains smoke-free might be the biggest signal from MGM that the new model is working.
When the resort opened its doors in September 2020, almost six months after the Strip shut down as the COVID-19 pandemic began, the move to smoke-free seemed like a sign of the times.
