Smoky Skies are Going to Clear Up
Having just gotten back from a weekend in Las Vegas and gone through the ritual of throwing nearly everything I brought with me into the washing machine to eradicate the smell of cigars and cigarettes, I thought a press release from the Agua Caliente Casino outside Rancho Mirage off Interstate 10 had oddly good timing.
The casino announced it had installed an air purification system dubbed Bio-Oxygen that doesn't rely on perfumes and chemicals. Casino officials claim its the only casino in California to have such a system. Personally I've never smelled chemicals or perfumes in any of the other Inland casinos, but I have smelled cigarette smoke.
The casino's director of facilities, Jake Britton, said their system that was installed about six months ago makes the casino "virtually smoke free."
“If you walk into a casino and you pass someone who is smoking, within seven to 15 seconds that smoke is absorbed by oxygen clusters," he said.
I'm hoping to check out the casino soon to see if it has made a difference, but in the meantime any Inland casino-goers noticed an air-quality difference yet?
