I am evaluating a hospitality project which includes a casino. The Casino manager is not interested on prohibiting Cigarette Smoking, so I am definitely evaluating the best strategy to handle the Casino Area which represents about 1/5 of the total project area. Until now my idea is not to include the Casino within the LEED boundary as the design allows it, but i will lose important area for my open space, if not, have the Casino as a separate retail. The casino wont be operated by the Hotel flag, it will be operated by a third party. recommendations? Any strategy to comply with LEED allowing smoking inside the Casino???

I had asked about this in the NCv2.2 prereq. There it was possible but with v2009 and the MPR's it is no longer possible. The building has to be complete and whole and any tenants for a C&S project would have to comply with this prereq. Here is some further reading. And look up definitions for entirety and physically distinct in the glossary at the end. http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=6473
