It does make sense to make this a non- smoking area because you do not need to inhale all the smoke as you walk the entire casino to reach the non-smoking section at the very end. I wish this particular section could be converted also to a non-smoking area. I have to say that at the immediate casino area after the parking next to Starbucks, the condition is terrible. Also some of the machines in the non-smoking area wherein the buttons were broke or not functioning, a lot have been fixed already. It has improved a little bit but not perfect vetilation yet. I noticed some improvement in the casino when it comes to the ventilation.
