The answer is simple. Federal regulation. The casinos don’t want to piss off the Feds as it is still federally illegal.


vegasliving420

This is the answer! Casinos are under enough scrutiny, and you could be arrested for possession in a casino if they wanted to.


adfdub

Which is funny because people are still consuming weed all over the strip, up and down. The casinos cant enforce it on their customers but they can enforce it against the weed dispensaries and weed delivery drivers.


Bowl-Accomplished

They don't want to enforce it on the customers. They just want the ability to give a token effort and say hey we tried


SpecialistFeed

The point is to not be obnoxious about it. Casinos let a lot slide unless you're causing trouble.


PinocchiosNose1212

That's the key to smoking all over the world, which I've done. Don't be obvious, don't be obnoxious, don't give them a reason to have to do something for the optics.


adfdub

Then maybe they should address all the rooms and hallways smelling like weed?


DarthGayAgenda

This is Vegas. Everything is going to smell like either weed, cigs, alcohol, fear or loathing. Take your pick.


stevegoodsex

Fear and loathing? In Las Vegas


mikeybadab1ng

Bring the mescaline


Otherwise_Sail_6459

Now we talking


badavetheman

And how would you do that?


Otherwise_Sail_6459

I would rather smell weed smoke instead of cigarettes. Second hand cig smoke makes my throat and eyes hurt and my throat becomes swollen. It’s awful.


adfdub

Agreed. I have no problem with smelling weed. Cigarettes and cigars are awful.


MarkStonesHair

We do, hotels impose a $500-$1000 smoking fee. The crazy thing is that even if you make it a rule, people won’t follow it.


LolaLinguini

They cant even control regular tobacco cigarettes. I got off the elevator to my nonsmoking floor and there was a woman standing right there, walking up and down the hallway, circling in and out of the elevator area, just smoking away in front of all of the no smoking signs.


KiwiVegetable5454

Not true. I almost got ticketed for smoking in the back alley of the STRAT. I already was smoking a cig by the time the bike cops got to me tho 🤣


lendmeflight

They will enforce it if you are being too obvious. If you carry a bag from a dispensary into a casino they will usually say something to you .


Busch0404

Oh, the casinos will enforce it on their customers. I had my do not disturb on the handle for a couple of days, security did their check of the room in the morning. Told them I was fine. They came back up in the evening while I was out. I was locked out of my room when I got back and they came up to let me in and gave me a warning because edible packaging was in the room. If I was caught violating their policy anymore, I would be asked to leave the hotel and not be able to stay at any of their other properties.


IneptAdvisor

What’s a weed delivery driver? Enlighten me.


PinocchiosNose1212

A driver who deliver weed.


Candid-Level-5691

It’s like Uber Eats but they bring you Cannibas


adfdub

You really are inept


Neo1971

I wish I knew that when I was in Las Vegas for a conference a few months ago.


adfdub

They aren’t allowed to deliver to any strip properties


IneptAdvisor

Right?


Neo1971

Why are they downvoting you so much? I truly don’t get it.


IneptAdvisor

Probably because, other than you and I, everyone must know about weed delivery and it could be my randomly generated username that has turned into quite a lot of amusement.


fahque650

Arrested for possession by who?


MusicianExtension536

Southern wine and spirits lobbying is more so the answer lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


MusicianExtension536

I mean tbf I think they probably were more than capable of influencing pot legislation when they were just southern wine and had 10 billi a year in sales vs 21 billi in sales after a merger The issue is the laws in this country are written by the highest bidder, no way to fix that, it just is what it is


Late-Engineering3901

I heard they may finally remove it from schedule 1


lpad92

It will be rescheduled but we will see how that translates to federal enforcement


signsntokens4sale

The answer is simpler. When pot lounged are legalized and it becomes legal federally for casinos to do it they want to have a local monopoly.


polimathe_

as soon as it becomes federally legal trust me there will be arms races for elevated lounges at every casino.


nSunsSON

I can’t wait


polimathe_

it will be real nice but as per vegas usual, gonna be pricey


hbgwine

Because unlike alcohol, marijuana can impair your judgment and cause you to make poor decisions resulting in gambling losses. /S

UnusualLimit6053

lol ok🤣🤣🤣 I’m a bartender- you cannot tell me that alcohol doesn’t impair you lol


SpaceAviator

The /s means he’s being sarcastic :) but yes you are 100% right lol


insidmal

Probably because there's nowhere you can legally consume there.. dispensaries on the strip means people would buy and consume there but you can't legally in front of others or on other people's property which basically rules out legal consumption for tourists.


sincitypeach

They got lounges now. Few friends went already I guess it’s not that bad 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


willhunta

?? Someone said legal weed smoking for tourists has been essentially ruled out. The comment you're replying to mentions there are legal lounges for smoking weed now. Seems completely on topic to me. Sure it's not the same as being able to publicly smoke but if you're someone who's worried about smoking illegally as a tourist this is good info to have lol.


Original-Pomelo6241

Oh for sure, was just relating it to the OP. Definitely not ruled out, especially with the new lounge


willhunta

I mean I get that but that's not how reddit threads work lol. People usually are responding to the comment above theirs... Not every comment is a direct reply to op lmao

CaptainFarts420

I’ve smoked weed everywhere on freemont street.


Sufficient_Author_74

I think this is probably the right answer thank you


Spence10873

Isn't alcohol technically not legal on the sidewalk, but it's not enforced?


Crinnle

[No](https://www.bensonbingham.com/las-vegas-open-container-laws/) >In Las Vegas, adults 21 years and older can consume alcohol outside on Las Vegas sidewalks.


NeoTheo80

*  However, the laws for drinking on the Las Vegas Strip differ from those in Downtown and on Fremont Street. 


MacDre415

Open containers are allowed on the strip

*  However, the laws for drinking on the Las Vegas Strip differ from those in Downtown and on Fremont Street. 


POShelpdesk

Ok, I'll bite. How do they differ?


NeoTheo80

City of Las Vegas jurisdiction vs. Clark County jurisdiction.  Locals often don't know this and tourists most certainly don't.


AssumptionOk1679

Neither is smoking weed from what I’ve seen


local_dj

Because gambling is federally regulated and marijuana is federally illegal.


EBody480

While gambling is legal under U.S. federal law, there are significant restrictions pertaining to interstate and online gambling, as each state is free to regulate or prohibit the practice within its borders. It’s regulated by the state gaming commission.


George_H_W_Kush

Almost learned this the hard way a couple years ago, I had a winning NBA ticket for like $1500 that hit the night before leaving Nevada, thought why not save a trip and just cash it at the Caesars in Illinois when I get home. Thank God I asked someone.


j97223

Cuz of the stank! Thanks to you heroes that use the vape method, much appreciated.


UnusualLimit6053

Yeah please stop smoking blunts in our casinos- whilst we are working it’s no fun to smell, even if we do smoke! Vaping and edibles folks, that’s where it’s at anyway🤣


sincitypeach

I don’t mind it personally but it bothers me when I can tell it’s low quality weed 😂


AloysiusDevadandrMUD

I've said this before. I love weed but it really can be too much weed stank. When you drive into legal cities like Boston and DC you're hit with a wave of weed smell.


oshp129

I like the smell of weed but it is obnoxiously strong when you walk up and down the strip. And definitely would prefer not to smell it while I’m eating in a restaurant


j97223

It can be fairly bad in the hotel hallways as well. I mean, just put a towel under the door and let it rip.


Dry_Swordfish3938

That doesn’t work lol


BuscarLivesMatter

Pro move is to run a hot shower with soap and close the bathroom door.


AloysiusDevadandrMUD

Nah just do an edible, the smoke will always be strong. I can even smell through sealed edible packages but not neally nearly as bad


Kroe

I've never heard of someone liking the skunk stink. Do you have pet skunks?


oshp129

No, probably just from going to concerts in the 80’s. Brings back good memories


FishmongerJr

I love the smell. An entire world of experience and possibilities exists beyond your own preferences.


Smurfness2023

My preference is to not smell your shitty weed


CaptainFarts420

Too fuckin bad wuss.


FishmongerJr

Cool, hold your breath when you walk by me. Just like I do when I walk by you so I don’t have to smell your Drakkar Noir.


mikeybadab1ng

It’s not shitty weed though


BigRudy99

It's the only way to stealth. The problem is, vapes just kind of brighten you up a little and don't really get you nice and stoned like combusting flower does. Last time I was in Vegas, I used a disposable cart all over the gaming floor (Bellagio, MGM Grand, Horshoe, cosmo) I just hit it quick and held it in long enough for a almost non-existent exhale. It worked fine and nobody even looked twice.


razblack

We can still smell the reek....


Mattrix2112

All u could smell on the floor rooms in MGM is weed


bigboat24

Weed and ass sweat.


GmtNm4

Marijuana is a scheduled substance, and a federal crime.  It is illegal ( you can make whatever argument you want about it being legal in nevada, it’s still a federal crime)  Federally scheduled illicit substances and money laundering also go hand in hand.  Casinos are surrounded legal regulations.  The transfer of money, the legal responsibility to provide fair games with x minimum odds/return to player etc. The last thing they want is to encourage what is a federal crime to be happening inside/around their casinos. They don’t want anything to be happening that could effect their gaming permits.  Most large casinos are national/international companies, they probably have locations in non-state legal areas as well, it’s best to have a 0 tolerance policy for federal offenses happening on their properties. 


Apprehensive-Win9152

510 thread Vape pen no smell - puff all day long every and anywhere inside all casinos - GL to u


MrDERPMcDERP

For the record it for sure smells!


Apprehensive-Win9152

Not enough to get you kicked out (like flower will due to strong smell). you can literally smoke while talking to Security. They will not say anything. Trust me I know lol. - GL to u


Scared-Excitement801

This.... just go get a battery and a few carts for your trip and dont worry about it


Apprehensive-Win9152

NeuroticaJonesTown

Came here to say the same thing. If you’re here for just a few days, buy a disposable vape and par-tay! No smell, no tell.


janoycresvadrm

Not legal advice but most places I went in Vegas people were smoking. It didn’t seem to be enforced if you’re outside


thevines

Can confirm. Stayed at the vdara last summer and smoked multiple times in front of hotel staff. Nobody cared or said a word to me. Just be courteous of others, stay away from entries or bottle necks, and don’t be obnoxious


CaptainFarts420

This is it.


MantechnicMog

I've vaped playing video poker at several of the downtown casino bars. Never even a second glance. Just make sure to take those mj stickers off your vape if you're buying from a licensed shop.


Necessary_Rate_4591

It’s not a good idea to mix two federally illegal activities together. Casinos could be in huge trouble if there was ever anything to suggest that they were promoting the distribution and consumption of a federally illegal substance.


Wishpicker

Because the casinos haven’t figured out a way yet to make money off it


UnusualLimit6053

TigersBeatLions

Children also go to the hotels which house the casino


Sufficient_Author_74

Smoking and drinking in front of the kids


Airrwicckk

It has something to do with their gaming licenses and the federal law


Black_Azazel

Allegedly they can lose their gambling licenses for marijuana…crazy as they’re the last places in America you can smoke cigarettes indoors and poison everyone next to you while downing cheap drinks before you stumble to a car and drive somewhere else. Also I’m under the impression like many places weed is only legal on private property.


DerDutchman1350

I wish the hotels had smoking lounges for guests, like they have pools. Could be a nice amenity…maybe someday

The Lexi Hotel caters to cannabis users and allows consumption. https://youtu.be/1YGV34tZAO0?feature=shared

I always vape inside the casinos there. Never had a problem and was there as recently as last month.


high_everyone

The funniest thing was I was there last month and my kid did nothing but complain about the smell of tobacco but never once about the weed which I smelled with no problems.


fahque650

Kid told on himself.


sotfggyrdg

Because people don't get as shit faced when they smoke and won't lose their kids inheritance on roulette


Fo_0d

You can smoke weed vapes in the casino. I did it for 4 days at tables playing poker and blackjack. No one batted an eye. Also make sure you arnt buying your weed on the strip, the weed they sell is either CBD or hemp drives and it’s expensive. % tend to be below 10 for thc if they even have any. They don’t tell you this unless you ask cuz they want to make a sale. You need to go off the stip to get actual thc. Also, the mushroom gummies they sell are a scam.


OddDragonfruit7993

Yep, never buy weed near a casino on Strip or Fremont. Walk a few blocks or take a cab to a real dispensary.


MrMichaelJames

There is no massive stench from alcohol compared to pot. If they ever start allowing it inside casinos probably a lot of folks will stop going. Why should i accidentally get high from some schmuck that can't control themselves?


Spocks_Goatee

EDIBLES


MrMichaelJames

Go for it, no impact to those around you!


maddog617

You're not getting high off of contact just stop it... You act like a fish bowling in a car


MrMichaelJames

All medical evidence says you can. I’ll trust those that study it over some of rando on the internet. You do what you want to do but don’t force me to because you have no self control.


Substantial_Steak928

Cigars are worse and they're allowed 🤷


machder1

Which is another issue altogether but this is specifically to weed.


F-stop2_8

Actually, more and more casinos are banning cigars now, although many still allow them.


Substantial_Steak928

Yeah I've noticed some casinos don't allow smoking at table games too which is nice. People that smoke at tables should be charged an automatic $25 tip to the dealer imo


MrMichaelJames

Yes cigars are bad but I’m not going to get high off second hand cigar or cigarettes smoke.


Substantial_Steak928

You aren't getting high from somebody smoking weed near you either lol


MrMichaelJames

CDC says you are wrong: [https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/second-hand-smoke.html](https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/second-hand-smoke.html) I'll trust folks that study it over some random person.


phreaxer

Trusting the cdc post 2020 is an interesting perspective.


Substantial_Steak928

Oh yeah, let's trust the federal government on marijuana 😂 Sure, if you're sitting in a hot box with people smoking multiple joints you might get a little high but not from somebody smoking over your shoulder lol


MrMichaelJames

Oh yeah let’s just trust some random potheads on the internet with what they feel is right.


ajdadavage

You listen to the CDC this conversation is over.


MrMichaelJames

Should I listen to you instead or anyone on this thread? Like that makes sense. What scientific data do YOU have to backup your claims? Did you do your “research” on Facebook and YouTube?


ajdadavage

I don't get paid billions to give false information.


mik8e111

Naive_Grapefruit291

The park, outside of Park MGM has tables and chairs and a smoking section, while not “legal” the cops, not security have 2 shits when I was there smoking and chilling 2 weeks ago. Only place to sit and chill on the strip, defs a stoner spot lol


Naive_Grapefruit291

Target across the street has regular prices on the Starbucks in it, 2 for $2 water at the ABC store, good food inside nyny. It was the spot honestly.


BobLeeSwagdaddy

Because it makes you think about your decisions too much and they don’t like that


cadaverousbones

It’s because it’s not technically legal to be smoked out in public anywhere. It’s legal to consume in your house. If you don’t make a big deal about it and you are discrete nobody really cares.


Zero_Karma_Guy

Gaming commission and control board go by federal rules. The licencee can lose their gaming rights if they don't follow


OvenIcy8646

I’ve vaped my pen in the Paris didn’t get any flak but I’m not recommending anything


Gold-Requirement-121

That's the way to do it. Still illegal, but there's no way of proving what's in it unless you tell the guard to take a hit which they won't


OkDifference5636

Go in the parking garages and they all have a smoker’s lounge.


SantaCruzTesla

#Vape


nostresshere

Legal and rules are TOTALLY different than reality. Folks consume it in non smoking rooms. On the street. In shows. And even in the casino to some extent (edibles or vapes - rarely a doobie) ALL ILLEGAL.


takemyusernameclown

I feel it has to do with commom courtesy, even as a daily pot smoker I personally do not want to be hit with bellows of pot smoke as I enter-exit any building. I smoke coupious amounts of the smelly stuff at home, but smoke non smelling vapes and eat edibles while in Vegas(or out and about in my town). Why? To be courtious to those that dont like the dank smell, and so that I can pretty much be a bit stony as I vape/edible up on the go anywhere without the smell bothering others. I agree with a few comments that Vegas needs to create additional space for those that partake. Classy pot lounges with superb ventilation, throw in a few Dazed & Confused themed slots in it and I will be parked there giving the casino my money the whole visit! 😀


Late-Engineering3901

Because it never was allowed before it was legalized right and people dont like the smelll


harmonious_harry

It also genuinely fucking stinks. If that ain’t your thing, it’s gross.


CRICKET-CRICKETS

Prestigious_Row_7216

boredd_ape

I smoke j’s while walking the strip , I stand in front of my hotel and smoke a j ducted off all the time


Smurfness2023

Because it stinks and no one wants to smell that shit all day


machder1

Because it smells like shit and those of us who do not practice recreational drugs, or any drugs for that matter, find it appalling. Nothing makes my wife and I exclaim “let’s get the fk out of here” faster than some decomposing skunk corpse smell unwarrantedly spewed over half a city block. I don’t care if you buy it and I even personally voted to legalize it here in California, because that should be your right. However, please have some decency for the rest of us who do not share your addiction, … or hobby or whatever you tell yourself it is.


IngoldMaster

Or cigars that f'ing stink up the whole area something fierce? Cigars objectively stink like shit and are way more intrusive smelling than cannabis.


machder1

Correct. As I clarified in a response below, I do concur but OP was focusing strictly on marijuana so I tried staying on topic.


Sufficient_Author_74

Would you say the same for cigarettes?


Nervous-Cheek-583

Absolutely. Cigarettes are worse.


Original-Pomelo6241

Yes.


machder1

Yes I would, but we are talking about marijuana at this time.


F-stop2_8

Absolutely. I never sit down near a smoker and I bring a portable fan with me to point at smokers that sit next to me. And yes, I'm a pot smoker. But I don't smoke in casinos out of courtesy to others.


Forecydian

I feel the same way , I get migraines very easily from smells , cigarettes, cigars , weed, etc . People that smoke think no one else can smell them that bad but I can smell them a block away, and I’m not the one negatively affected by it, a lot of people I talk to can’t stand the smell


Deeze_Rmuh_Nudds

Since we’re all guessing, weed helps with decision making and deductive reasoning, and increases the likelihood of being calm. Maybe they think we’ll win more? 


VegasRoadGlideRider

Because adults who can make it a day or two between smoking don't need to smell it everywhere we go. Geezus, it'll be OK.


Lastnv

It’s perfectly reasonable for a tourist or visitor to want to partake in legal consumption of marijuana while they are here. That’s why they’re asking and you took it personally. What an asinine comment.


Original-Pomelo6241

The keyword is legal. It is not legal to smoke in public or in casinos, including rooms. Does everyone do it? Sure. But the casinos cannot “allow” it.


SmashingLumpkins

Not everyone wants to smell your marijuana as hard as that may be to believe.


Tekwardo

Which is why some of us vape. So the question is still valid.


SmashingLumpkins

Not everyone wants to smell your vape either.

My vape doesn’t smell like anything. I don’t add flavor to it.

Vegas_Host

Casinos are controlled by Gaming which is federal, so they follow federal laws. But keep in mind consuming marijuana is technically illegal everywhere in vegas except, the property you LIVE ON. ....... even tho people smoke everywhere on the strip. Personal use only & don't carry pounds. But if an officer or anyone interacts with you, you need to comply because it's their job to follow the law. Even tho no one really cares, except if you are driving. DO NOT SMOKE AND DRIVE. Very strict here about that.


RevolutionaryAd851

They delivered weed to my suite at Bellagio immediately. Very convenient and staff were so friendly about it.


RavishingRickDuu

I was smoking a joint before the Bring me the Horizon concert at Fontaine Bleau the other night. I was outside almost to the street and the security came out and said I couldn’t smoke anywhere near the hotel or risk life time ban. I just walked over to Circus and smoked over there with no problem.


WSTTXS

Marijuana impairs your ability to make good decisions so it should be banned near all casinos Edit /s because you guys take life way too serious and are way too literal 🙄

Spocks_Goatee

Casinos allow live-streamers to just waltz through the gambling areas, should be more worried about cheating and being recorded without consent.

I recommend Planet 13 for your vape needs- open 24/7 and they prob have hundreds if not thousands of brands! Ask the budtender for help and don’t be shy! They’re happy to help you with budget and just what you’re looking for to relax. Not to mention they’re opening a consumption lounge very soon!
