Local historians say the move is a big deal. Monday morning, the resort’s website was updated with a new homepage that reads: “Let’s Clear the Air: Park MGM is smoke-free.” Locals have whispered for months about Park MGM becoming the Strip’s first entirely smoke-free casino - a move that jives with the resort’s brand of embracing nature.Įarlier this summer, when MGM Resorts and other casino companies moved to reopen some resorts, rumors surfaced that the property between New York-New York and City Center likely would ban smoking.
It will be the last of MGM’s properties to come back. It has been shuttered since March when it closed because of concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. The resort, which has a total of 2,993 rooms and numerous restaurants including Sin City’s only Eataly, is slated to reopen September 30.
(NoMad is a boutique hotel on the upper floors of the resort building.) MGM Resorts announced Monday that when Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas reopen at the end of the month, the hotels will comprise the first fully smoke-free resort - including its casino - on the Las Vegas Strip.
