Not Smoking at TAMX

[markb]

Some Vegas hotels have non-smoking areas. South Point just isn't one of them. You could ask the JREF to change to a venue that IS non-smoking, but part of the draw of South Point is the price.

Perhaps if other hotels have found it beneficial to have non-smoking areas, it won't take much to convince South Point that they should have a non-smoking area, too. So, my suggestion it to complain to the hotel about the smoke. And it would probably be even better if we can convince JREF bring it up with the hotel.

Oh c'mon, people. It's a well-known scientific fact that all smokers possess a certain morally casual attitude, which makes them the type worth keeping around.

Am I the only one who keeps looking at the topic and seeing "TAMPAX"?

I'm one of the evil smokers, though one who cared about it being dissatisfying to others. I'd usually try to wait till all you lightweights (yes, I'm casually making fun of my own drinking problems) had gone to sleep before I just started smoking in the Del Mar, but I'm sure on occasion I did not. I probably bought a few of you drinks though, so let's call it even

I apologize stinking it up for you - I work 10-12 hours a day in an office and don't want to be around smoke, but get 3 drinks in me and it's a different story.

Anyway, I'd happily abide by any "Free Speech Zone" type thing for smokers.

Perhaps by next year I'll have lost the desire to smoke when i drink. If so, **** YOU SMOKERS!

What's the ratio of smokers:non-smokers?

What's the ratio of smokers:non-smokers?

From my estimate is was probably about 8-2

Gawd, I hope you mean the other way around. 2:8 (or 1 in 4) because that compares somewhat to 20% of the general USA population and I assume that the number of folks from outside the USA, being small, would not affect the statistic that much.

yea - sorry to make you call the name of Gawd in vain - I didn't initialize my Casual Estimates Data Display indexer correctly, just an off by one error. What i meant was - what most people probably understood me to mean.

No. I try had to put it out of my mind, but not always successful.

ps I'm very sorry I missed you. I wanted to let you know that I admired your work with JREFand your poise as presenter.

I vote that we should use either TAM10 or TAMTen instead of TAMX.

Or, perhaps TAM-X or TAM:X would be a slight improvement if you insist on keeping the "X".


ETA: TAM 2012 also works.

No.

It's TAMX.

2012's TAM should be TAMX if 2011's TAM was TAMIX.

Then everywhere except just outside the front door is non-smoking.

So you have to "run the gauntlet" to get in or out? It would be nicer if there was another door, or the smoking area was moved away from the only entrance.

TAMX saves us at least one keystroke.

Imagine when more and more people start posting, blogging and writing about it. Hundreds of thousands of keystrokes saved, and one extra character available to tweet. It's not trivial.

Personally, I'm most looking forward to TAM XXX.

Every TAM is TAM XXX, if you get in the right elevators...

As AdMan wrote, we're going to save characters, so it'll be TAM30. Sorry.

 

[Kochanski]

Someone, I forgot who said it should be TAM¹⁰ and I think that is cool.

On topic, it would be lovely if we could have a non-smoking area to hang out, but I would be sad not to hang out with all my smoking buddies.

I was not bothered as much by the smokers in the Del Mar as I was by the pervasive cloud throughout the building. My sinuses responded twice with a nosebleed. I did not have any problem during the time I was at the Rio or Bally's, so I think South Point seriously needs to replace their air filtration system.

I agree with your dislike of smoke, but I think nosebleeds would probably be caused by very dry air rather than cigarette smoke.
