Could smoking be banned from Vegas casinos?

Kanie Kastroll, a casino table games dealer at the Wynn, filed a class action status federal lawsuit last Tuesday and is alleging the casino encourages patrons to light up and disciplined workers if they complained. Kastroll is seeking damages of more than $5 million.

While other casinos in Las Vegas have already taken measures to reduce the amount of apparent second-hand smoke on their gaming floors (installing expensive but effective air filtration systems), it would appear the Wynn has not followed suit.

According to Chicago-based class action law firm Kamber Edelson, who has been hired by Kastroll to handle this case, other Wynn employees have also experienced health issues.

"Dozens of Wynn employees were interviewed over the past six months, and the type of health problems ranged from headaches and asthma to lung cancer," Edelson said.

Huh. What do you think? Is this just a simple matter of the Wynn installing a better air filtration system or is this the beginning of the end for smoking in Las Vegas casinos?

Read the article in Bodog's online casino, where smoking has and will always be YOUR call. Then head on over to the online blackjack tables and try your luck against the dealer!

Or is it?

Las Vegas also boasts some of the best big name sporting events in the country. If you've been following mixed martial arts, chances are you've seen a UFC event on pay-per-view at your local pub. Most of those UFC fight cards take place at either the Palms, Mandalay Bay or MGM Grand. And if you're a boxing fan, most of the big bouts are battled out in any one of those casinos, too.

But it doesn't stop at MMA or boxing. Vegas does other sports.

In Bodog's casino gambling news section, read up on some of the other sports played out on The Strip in an article entitled, The Best of The Strip: Sporting Events.

Then make your way over to the Bodog Casino to play those online slots that you love so much!

That isn't to say that there aren't a few gems hidden among those giants. Take Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon, for example. If you're new to online casino gambling and want to try your hand at some land based casino and poker games while you're in Vegas, Bill's has THE cheapest poker on The Strip.

For a closer look at some of the smaller Las Vegas casinos on The Strip, read "The Best of The Strip – Vegas Casinos You May Not Have Heard Of" to get some new ideas on where to play your favorite casino games the next time you're visiting Sin City.

But if you're looking for some online casino action then look no further than the Bodog Casino.

Not all of us get off on standing in ridiculous lineups and having to pay crazy cover charges just so we can spend the evening standing around wishing we had worn something fancier or sexier or cooler. You know what I mean?

That's what makes the lounge scene so appealing. Go into any one of the casinos on The Strip and I guarantee you'll find a rad bar playing tunes to chill by. And after playing blackjack for a couple of hours, sitting back on a plush sofa while sipping on a cocktail is THE perfect way to wind down.

In this week's "Best of The Strip" series of casino articles at Bodog Casino, you can read all about our favorite Las Vegas Casino and Hotel lounges. (My personal fave is the Koi Lounge at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.)

After reading that article, head on over to the Bodog Casino and see if you can't win some cash playing your favorite casino games…so you can take that trip to Las Vegas and check out all those swank lounges.
