Closing - Casa Fuente Las Vegas

[reflex]

I was just in Vegas and I was told by the staff that Casa Fuente will be closing at the end of this October 2025.  They other shop complained about the smoke so even now you can no longer smoke on the patio area only inside the store. So if you ever wanted to go you have till then!

That is very sad that the smoke nazis even have power in Sin city :finger: The hot waitresses on the patio were always worth the trip. I wonder if they will maybe open a free standing location off the strip?

They said the owners will be looking but they didn't sound like it was for sure a new place would open

Hopefully they might find another dedicated location somewhere.  I would think the financials would work if they can find a good spot.

At least Caesars has realized that having dedicated cigar lounges is working financially.  The first Montecristo at Caesars seems to be doing well.  And they recently opened a second one across the street at Paris.

They haven't made a move yet to ban cigars (or cigarettes) on the casino floors.  MGM went smoke free at Park MGM (not even cigarettes on the casino floor), but so far every other casino has held the line.

I just hope they don't do what the Indian casinos in Oregon did: ban cigars, but not cigarettes.

Vegas was the last bastion for cigar smokers, WTF???

I sure have a lot of great memories at Casa Fuente. That's just too bad.

Was great spot, got invited to the Grand Opening years ago (thanks jefe).

It was great time, hung out with Carlito et al.  Sitting up at rooftop of Club Pure watching Andy Garcia play bongos....

My wife luvs Garcia, she got a photo with him there, but he was not thrilled...looked like we were bothering him (guess we were).

Guess "do-gooders" even got to Vegas....SAD.

I'm sorry to hear that Casa Fuente is closing. My wife and I stayed in Las Vegas 5 years ago at Caesars Palace. She wanted the slot machines, and I couldn't wait to go to Casa Fuente. When we finally got to Casa Fuente, I got excited. The people who worked there were very friendly, and helpful. I bought more Opus X hats an Opus X shirt, and of course, more cigars. We had drinks, sat on the patio, I lit up a cigar, and watched the people walking by. The only time I get excited like that is every year when I go to Fuente Mania. I hope that they find another place. To me, that place is a real landmark in Las Vegas.
