For those of us with chronic respiratory illness, ANY smoke in the room is more than we can tolerate. It excludes us from many events, especially those held in bars. I've been to the Monte Carlo and to even wait at the check-in podium, one is standing side by side with bar drinkers/smokers and it makes the wait intolerable. To keep from becoming quite sick, the reservationist must either be there right away to take us into the nonsmoking room, or I must duck outside and try to keep an eye on when he/she returns to the desk.
The Monte Carlo may be among the smokiest places I've ever been in. But don't let my severe, chronic, (eventually) terminal illness prevent you all from have a great time without me. I can take the rejection. I can live without socializing, if needs be. Go ahead. Have a ball.
