Laying off 400 people, and handing out lollipops to customers.

Just like how LSU is going bankrupt because of a cut to their budget. Time for them to throw a fit like a 3 year old, then the media will get bored with it and nothing will change.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, I take it.

IF people literally cant go to an establishment because they can not smoke for the duration of time they are there, they need to just lay down in traffic.

Not what this is about. It's about private business not being able to make the decisions they want to make regarding things like this because the nanny staters exploit work environment laws.

You do realize that Caesars Entertainment has filed for bankruptcy and is attempting to streamline and cut spending at all their properties.

This isn't about smoking.

Why is laying off people "being a little bitch?" Legislation has consequences.

Private business bitching because gov't is being an a-hole daddy..im with Harrahs and I don't smoke and think its fricking disgusting

Eta: the amount of taxes the city collects from Harrahs is huge. I hope this bites those progressive brain farts in the arse

For some, it's like going out to eat and not being able to have a glass of wine with their steak.

It's a stupid law and will cost NOLA to lose tons of money, but NOLA never was good at generating money, so there is that.
