And most importantly, in some casinos alcohol is served for free, I wonder if some casino decides to serve marijuana for free.  Grin

That would be awesome! Some good-looking ladies are serving rolled cigars and whisky... while I am enjoying some of my favorite games!!! A triple pleasure! That would be like a paradise! Or at least the closest I can get!

People have a very negative opinion about weed in general, judging by the comments in this thread! And this weed/gambling/alcohol combination is presented like some "conspiracy theory" from casinos to "take" more money from people! But it's not like that, I believe casinos are just trying to create a comfort zone for people who enjoy smoking weed and playing games...


It really does sound like paradise ..  Grin
Of course, the community will always be against something that is addictive and, above all, against what it does not know.
However, if the first step has already been taken, it is rather only a matter of time before our dream comes true.  Wink Cool Grin
Fingers crossed  Cool

Looks like Erdogan is banned, and by LoyceV research I merited him before that happened. Anyway, this is a nice reminder about the casino cannabis lounge and my words back then... after this thread, I never saw anyone else mentioning something like this. I guess this kind of fun is still reserved for some VIP parties.

Well, if there is a casino with a "special room" I will put it at the top of my "places to visit" list! Not being able to make a cigar while gambling is one of the main reasons why I don't go to land-based casinos.

And I'm not sure how the casino can protect their gamblers if the authorities will get into them knowing their illegal activities. That is really disappointing that they allowed it for the sake that the gamblers will stay with them and to keep awake playing. Too much greediness, isn't it.
Now I could say how greedy they are and the government must have to take action with this as possible that not only cannabis have found inside it might be more.
The casino industry being so fundamental for the state of Las Vegas will not do something like this unless they had the approval of the state government, now you may disagree with this decision and you are within your rights to do so but it is obvious they could not take this decision and make it pubic for everyone to see if they did not had all the necessary paperwork that allowed them to do this on the first place, so do not worry this is perfectly legal.

not much change but yet there will be because Cannabis is another Vices that casino will entertain aside from Liquor and Cigarettes now there is weed than can bring different effect to gamblers.
From Users to non users surely this will effect the Gambling ground from then .
Though i am wishing without negative effect yet the possibilities are there always.
But lets see when this implemented and what will bring to all of the US gamblers.
The difference is that you can't smoke while gambling as far as I know, not sure about cigarettes but I am pretty sure weed is not allowed while gambling so that is why there are cannabis lounges which means that people will be basically taking a leave from gambling, go some other place and smoke their weed there and they will be able to simply just focus on that, then they will come out and smoke somewhere else, which is basically what this will do, allow people to take a break from gambling and who knows maybe it will make some of them stop?

At the end of the day, I do not see this any different or worse from getting drunk, that is still the number one thing they are trying to achieve, to make you drunk because when you are drunk you end up with basically losing so much money constantly that you will not be able to stop because you are drunk.

The operation of a casino is always associated with aggression, disappointment or happiness - great emotions. Many people behave inappropriately in such conditions, therefore casinos have long ago debugged security and a containment system aimed at maintaining order. I don't think this new kind of entertainment will change anything much here.

If there are any changes, they will be rather positive in my opinion. Weed has a completely harmless effect on the user, usually it helps to calm and positive. Alcohol usually has the opposite effect, so if players drink less and smoke more, the casino is more likely to have fewer problems.

Since cannabis is legal now in that region its users should strive to be responsible users, some people lose their control once they are high some very sober, whatever effect it will have on individuals, we should understand their behavior as long as they are not picking a fight and not misbehaving in the lounge, the lounge is a privilege, not a right so they should behave and be responsible while they are in the lounge.

So its already  legal and its allowed which is really a very rare thing for government to do so.

Anything goes in La Vegas their goal is to become a cannabis hub of the world because, they are complete with entertainment, hotels, and restaurant what can you ask for in the gambling capital of the world, this will be a good place if you are hooked in cannabis and your country do not allow you to consume this, good with people with disorders that need cannabis for their treatment.
People who consume cannabis will be like to play gambling in Las Vegas because they can consume cannabis without worry if that thing is illegal. It makes Las Vegas like a one-stop place to playing gambling and spend money and enjoy gambling games. I guess that can make the income of the casino will increase, especially if many casinos reopen their business and invite their customer and new customer. And people who use cannabis for their treatment can consume cannabis while they can also playing gambling.

It's only rare in countries that don't legalize the proper use of cannabis. However, in the USA, the legalization of it already takes place for a long time now. According to this article, the whole process of legalization starts from 1996 until now on which five of these laws especially stand out because of their significant impact.

It's legal by papers there so Vegas was able to deploy the lounge on their casinos without any problem.

Do you really think or believe that they havent get any approval to the government about imposing or creating such cannabis lounge? They wont really be taking a suicide decision if they do know that their business

would be potentially stopped.Of course they do already have the permit knowing that cannabis is mostly illegal in most places in the world which its understandable that they would really be needing some approval

before they can proceed and those things wont exist if they werent permitted on the first place.
Here's the bill.

La Vegas is a touristic city, I am sure the regulars are already there playing like usual but this is not enough to sustain the city they need to bring people back and I think this is something they believe can do this, after all despite cannabis being legalized in many states on the US it is still illegal in the majority of the states so they are adding this as an incentive to those people that may like to use it legally and have a good time at the casino at the same time.

Not only to residents of the US, but this will be a good tourist destination of other rich foreigners, where cannabis is banned in their country. And we know that up until now, most countries don't have the legality for cannabis usage. This will be a good spot for them where they can enjoy themselves without worrying about getting caught. I believe when they think about offering this service, they are not only thinking about the regular residents but other gamblers outside their country.
You are right I forgot about that and it may even be more attractive to foreigners, after all with so many states on the US that have legalized the use of cannabis for recreational purposes it is not difficult for people living in a state in which it is forbidden to travel to a state in which it is allowed and just enjoy it there if they want it without having to travel to Las Vegas, but for foreigners going to Las Vegas this could be the easier route to do this.

Apparently according to a recent news the Gambling Casinos in Vegas are going to allow Cannabis Lounges. In Nevada it's not restricted if you do it in your own house.
https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/vegas-nightlife-gets-more-colorful-with-cannabis-lounges/
What do you think about it ?
- I do think that this is a step taken by both casinos and the government to ensure that people loose more, so that they do not care about what they are doing and at the end both the casinos and the government will make more money this way.
I surely think that this might not be the way to go, alcoholic drinks are served in the casinos for a reason. I do think that this might be a "happy news" for most people but at the same time you should realize that this is something that will drastically reduce your chances of winning.

It makes sense i mean if it is legal in that state why should casinos not allow for their customers and because you can only smoke in lounges it also means that people that don't smoke are not disturbed by the smell and the smoke. I don't really think that you are at a higher risk at losing if you have smoked a joint before or during gambling, i mean cannabis just makes you feel more relaxed i don't really think it necessarily increases the willingness to take big risks. It's is possible though that you just don't care that much anymore though after you smoked a joint and therefore make some weird bets or calls  Smiley.
Just look at alcohol. If you have drunk you definitely are willing to take more risks than before and drinking is also allowed so i don't think that smoking cannabis is worse than that.

As long as you can handle yourself and you're not harming anyone, that's fine with me. Use it responsibly so to speak. Marijuana has medical usage itself, but of course abusing the use of it may have unfavorable consequences. So it is up to the person how he will use this privilege. The casinos just give the opportunity for people to easily avail cannabis and that it is up to them how they use it.

Since cannabis is legal now in that region its users should strive to be responsible users, some people lose their control once they are high some very sober, whatever effect it will have on individuals, we should understand their behavior as long as they are not picking a fight and not misbehaving in the lounge, the lounge is a privilege, not a right so they should behave and be responsible while they are in the lounge.
Or maybe the casino will provide places for cannabis users in which will separate them from not users Like what Smokers and Non smokers has in every casino houses.

Like me i am not smoker so my place is in people that does not smoking also.

though you are correct because there are week smokers that cannot carry the effect and become wild and senseless when solved by this drugs.

If you are going to ask me, being a bit intoxicated with cannabis might lose one's focus when gambling. I don't think you can make a high person be able to gamble efficiently. The best way to have those rooms is always to have a sign or warnings that would remind people the risks of gambling while intoxicated. That way you will be able to at least lecture people about the negative aspects of gambling while high or intoxicated with alcohol. Also responsible gamblers should know that risk as well. Only fools gamble while high.

If you think that after using cannabis a gambler stops understanding something, loses attention or concentration when gambling, you are greatly mistaken. An experienced cannabis smoker will play almost as well as if he were sober.

I agree with you, modern offline casinos are not only gambling, but many other entertainments and by creating opportunities for each narrow group of lovers of something,

I saw this many times . people that are just hanging out with their friends or family and for fun only in modern offline casino. so offering more things that are interesting for many people is very good for satisfying the entertainment they want. in offline casinos it is not always about to earn money but more for entertainment and a place to hang out for them who likes that thing.


Agree, a lot of people are in casinos for fun only but I saw or read an article way back a year a go that there are professionals in gambling which they are make for a living out of it. I only skim that article but my question in my mind is how do they do it that they are winning a lot and also entertained at the same time. It is very risky in gambling since anything could happen and we all knew that gambling is pure luck to win.

Regarding lounges is it is really okay to those people who is using Cannabis but those people that are not using i think they kinda scared or be curious about it and try it.

You might call them fools but there are people who would really see this as a great stuff and also with that warning sign or something like that then those gambling company owners would surely be allocating

a specific room for that and wont really just place it on near hallway or where the crowd is passing on unless if they would intently on making that stuff on their own.

Why would you smoke out if you do know that you would get high if you do still play after that?
Here some main rule for that integration.

"The rules are still being written, but lounges will not be allowed to host gambling or alcohol. Regulators are also defining the types of cannabis products that will be allowed in lounges, but the bill legalizes smoking on premises and the consumption of single-serve THC-infused edibles and beverages. Live entertainment will also be allowed."

Its clear that they put out some limits.
