Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort's Smoking Room Grand Opening

The summer is coming to a close with a smoldering surprise! Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort is excited to announce the grand opening of “Embers” – the new state-of-the-art smoking room! Venture in and explore the innovative gaming and smoking space designed with your needs in mind.

“Embers” comes equipped and decked-out with everything our guests who smoke need for a fun and safe gaming zone with 120 U.S. and Canadian slot machines. With the negative air pressure sliding door system and the high-tech HVAC and smoke evacuation system – you can play with ease knowing that we’re taking care of you. Because here at Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, we see to our guests’ desires. We’ve heard your requests. And now, we can’t wait to give you what you asked for!

“We look forward to opening the smoking room for guests who enjoy smoking while they play,” states Scott Freeman, AMCR General Manager. “AMCR has been non-smoking for four years, and we’ve had requests from guests to bring back an indoor smoking area. We want to provide an entertainment escape for all our guests to enjoy."

The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Chief Michael Conners Jr. added "Embers smoking room is a welcomed addition to our casino. It serves a particular segment of players without adversely affecting others."

Plus, with the purchase of the Player's Inn hotel next door, our guests who smoke can enjoy rooms equipped for their needs on the third floor where they will find a total of 41 designated smoking rooms available. With our staff’s diligence on deep cleaning, you’ll discover a pristine and polished space each visit.
