## The Only 100%-Smoke-Free Casino Night Out on the Strip

For travelers, couples, and corporate groups who love Las Vegas casino energy without waking up with smoky blazers or dry throats, Park MGM is a game-changer. Every bar, restaurant, theater corridor, and casino walkway across Park MGM and NoMad is completely smoke-free.

Better still, its location right beside Toshiba Plaza makes it the smartest home base on the Strip for any weekend anchored by a Dolby Live residency, UFC Fight Night, or Vegas Golden Knights game.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is the entire Park MGM casino really 100% smoke-free?
Yes. Park MGM (including its casino floor, bars, Bavette’s, Eataly, Dolby Live, and On The Record) is the only completely non-smoking resort casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

### How far is Park MGM from T-Mobile Arena?
Roughly a 3- to 4-minute flat pedestrian walk out Park MGM’s south doors along car-free Park Ave / Toshiba Plaza directly to T-Mobile Arena gates.

### What is the best post-concert bar right after Dolby Live lets out?
On The Record sits 60 seconds down the indoor promenade on Wed/Fri/Sat nights; on quieter mid-week nights, Bavette’s hidden back parlor bar, Eataly wine counters, and ARIA’s Easy’s Speakeasy (4 minutes indoors) are effortless.
