I hear ya Marilyn :) The first time I went to Vegas I did gamble and chain smoked the entire time too. I once read that gambling affects the same reward centers in the brain as smoking addiction. That's not why I didn't gamble though. I tend to think of gambling in the same way I look at the lottery (here in my state) [i]It's a tax on people that are bad at math.[/i]*grin* *hugzback@yagirl*

Thanks Shevie and Lady :) I'd rather hang out with you ex-smokers any day. You are right on Lady, no more smoking for me. You can bet on that! ;) I'll never gamble with my health again.

Hi Marie,
I didn't see Celine but I did see the Blue Man group and 'literally' ran into Seal (singer) and Heidi Klum (model) in Ceasar's Palace. We flew back into Dallas and most everything there is smoke free now. I didn't see anyone smoking in Dallas.

Btw~There are a lot of smoke free places in Vegas too. Many of the resturants and tours, ALL of the arcades, motion rides, IMAX, malls, etc. are smoke free. There is a lot to do there besides casino gaming.
All the best,
