.. when i came home from a five hour session, my wife could smell the smoke on my clothes and she would not even let me hold my newborn baby. the so-called "ventilation" system above the bar is akin to putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound.

. Your posts have gotten progressively negative. All the way up to you resorting to using scare words and phrases such as "carcinogens", "my eyes burn", and awww...." my wife wouldn't even let me hold my newborn baby".Starting to seem like an agenda. Scare tactics..wow
Your statements are complete fabrication. Definitely moll-like. I'm seeing/hearing there are alot of borgata regs coming to Parx. Too bad its effecting your games there at the Borgata. It is what it is. Your attempt at misrepresenting Parx poker room as a smoke filled death trap is pathetic quite frankly. Simply not true.
I have been to the room 4x, 30 hours total. Absolutely no evidence of smoke or smell. The last 2 sessions (both at tables closest to bar), I decided to ask several non-smokers at my tables , along with several floor and security people if they could smell smoke. Of the 12 people I asked, 10 answered "no", 2 answered "not really". Including all my friends, that would be a total of 20 non-smokers that say there is no smoke/smell issue.
With all the carcinogens and clouds of smoke to stick to your clothing so badly that you can't even hold your newborn, you would think these people would notice. They all must have the worst sinus problems ever recorded. Go figure.
Smoke or smell is not an issue at Parx. Anyone that is adamantly claiming otherwise has an agenda to create bad press for a fabulous room. Sorry your games are suffering at the other casinos (not really), but get used to it, it's gonna get worse. Parx is on its way to being the #1 poker room on east coast. Get on the band wagon or stay off. Haters not allowed!!
My prediction is..in 5 years, when the room is ridiculously popular, the naysayers and complainers will be all over Parx poker room talking about.."oh yea , I know that room, I been a regular there since it opened.." or " I knew it was going to take off, I been saying it the whole time.." or " I been there every day, what you need to know, I'm the man, I know all about the room" all while name dropping the crap out of dealers and floor.."I know him, I know her.." yada yada.
Sorry guys/gals , I'm just really impressed w/ this room. It's almost like the little brother I never had. Forgive me if I seem over protective.
Non-smokers that have never been to this room...
please do not be discouraged from visiting. The room is fine. You will find that all claims of smoke/cigarette smell being an issue are totally false. Myself and the 20 non-smoking people that I asked, as well as plenty of people posting in this thread, agree there is no issue.
