Five Places To Smoke a Cigar in Vegas

The ‘Dry Heat’ Vegas Blog has posted Five Places To Smoke a Cigar in Vegas. This is particularly important to us, The Brothers, as we have a cigar/wedding bash trip planned in Mid-June. We’ve been looking for about 5 good places to torch up some fine stogies. With all the proposed smoking bans, this may be the last time we get to enjoy a smoke in Sin City.
Here They are:

1. Playboy Club — With every visit here, I get more convinced that this must be like what heaven is like. On a recent trip I chilled in a booth and watched a few celebrities play big money blackjack while sipping on straight gin and smoking a cigar. Not to mention the bevy of bunnies Oh yeah, and there were Playboy bunnies all over the place. The decor (above) has this classic, sexy vibe that’s perfect for bringing old-school Vegas alive in a modern environment with a cigar, a cocktail and a bunny tail.
2. Casa Fuente - This cigar bar is an interesting concept located at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. If you recognize the name, it is affiliated with the Fuente family and in fact they roll a special cigar just for this location.
The ban forced smoking from the patio inside the shopping mecca to the inside confines of the cigar bar, but it’s still a welcome oasis. Think about this, while your partner shops, you can chill, light up and even order a mojito. Brilliant.
Mandalay Bay views from the Foundation Room
3. Foundation Room — If you’re the exclusive type and you have a membership to the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, you can take the private elevator 43 stories to the top, head to the outdoor balcony and light up while enjoying too-cool-for-words views of the Strip.
Since it’s a private club, I could have easily substituted the public views at VooDoo at Rio or ghostbar at Palms or even the carbon copy of the Foundation’s balcony next door at Mix at THEhotel, but Foundation Room opens its doors to non-members on Monday nights for the Godspeed party. If you go and you got ‘em, smoke ‘em.
4. Scores — This isn’t your typical gentlemen’s club. Sure, there are familiar sights, but the focus here is on indulgence. As an example, the club focuses on wine and champagne instead of the $2 kamikaze shots at other joints and cigars are part of that indulging luxury. In fact, Scores has a ‘robusto’ section for cigars on their website.
5. Havana Cigar Company — There’s a lot of testosterone on this list, so the last spot goes to a chill location at Lake Las Vegas where we can commune with man-made nature. Chicks with sticks are some of the more enticing sights known to man and this location at Montelago Village (they also have a location on Paradise) is a perfect place for unisex smoking.
