text: Let me start off by saying that I LOVE the FORUM SHOPS at CAESARS Best selection of high end stores great restaurants and it is immaculate and stunning visually It is the best shopping in all of Las Vegas nnHad a bad experience at the shops this past Saturday while having a day out with visiting relatives Upon checking our car at the valet near Joes Stone Crab we walked in and were hit smack in the face with the smelly odor of cigars Just about every store we shopped in had this same smelly odor and it got worse the higher up we went On the top or third floor it became unbearable and my allergies were triggered and I had to actually leave several stores Staff informed me that the cigar lounge Casa Fuentes was has having a special smoke out event for the holiday weekend nnOn my way down the escalator I ran right into it Saw a couple hundred mostly old men standing in the middle of this beautiful mall outside of the cigar bar smoking Was quite the sight to see these guys puffing away in the middle of this mall while shoppers were assaulted by the smoke Saw people walking by covering their faces and plugging their noses The staff at the shops near by looked miserable at the lack of business due to people trying to flee the smoke Could still see the smoke in the lighting far from the cigar bar in both directions We had to bypass dozens of shops to get far away from the smell and we cut our day short because it was that bad Ended up taking our guests to the Venetian Shops as they smell great and are smoke free Had no issues with the allergies there nnWhy would they be allowed to smoke cigars like that in the middle of the mall Makes zero sense to let one business ruin the business of dozens of high end shops Please consider relocating the cigar bar or ventilating it properly so that us majority nonsmokers are not forced to breathe in the smoke and get chased out Love the shops will be back for sure but do not want to feel like I am in a smokey casino when spending money of luxury items
