Vegas?

Would you still go to Vegas when you're pregnant?  DH and I have a trip planned with about 12 of our best friends, and although I obviously won't drink, I still really want to go and have a good time with everyone.  He's worried about the second-hand smoke.  We'd be there 2 full days, one of which we're getting a cabana at the pool.  We'd obviously get a non-smoking room.  So I don't feel like there'd be all that much exposure.  And none of our friends smoke, so it'd just be when we're in the casino and such.  WWYD?

    I have the same question. I am strongly considering (almost 100% sure I'm going) on a Vegas trip with 8 friends in September. I'll be ~7 months.

    I personally don't think the casino smoke will be that bad for a short time. If it is bad, you can always leave, right?

    I think you'll be fine.  The casinos are so big, you can usually just move away from the smoke.

    We will be there for Memorial Day weekend. I don't plan on hanging out in the casino because I'm worried about the smoke :( It's SIL's 21st birthday so we are obligated to go.

    I'll be there at 9wks pg. Pretty sure I'll be the only girl on a big girls trip not drinking. Although I may not be the only one throwing up, lol.

    I think you should be totally fine! I have been to Vegas a few times and I am pretty sensitive to smoke and I HATE it! I have never had an issue in any of the casino's with smoke. If someone moves next to me who is smoking I just move to a new area and problem solved.

    With the exception of some of the older casinos located off the Strip, I never encountered any second-hand smoke in a Vegas casino unless I was sitting right next to someone smoking, in which case you can easily move.  There are thousands of machines/tables.  They are so big and so well ventilated, (I swear, some pump in good scents and endorphins through their air systems-haha) you won't even notice smoke.  Go... and have fun!  I'm so jealous!

    I'd go. Can't you just stay in the smoke-free areas of the casinos? I've never been to Vegas but I'm sure they have smoke-free areas.

    We are headed there this Saturday and I was thinking of asking this very question. I hate smokers and smoking and yet all my past trips to Vegas haven't bothered me much. The worst is being at a roulette table and having a smoker come up. In that case we just move somewhere else.
