Las Vegas casino resorts are implementing sophisticated vape detectors in hotel rooms, catching guests who attempt to vape indoors. These advanced sensors can detect both tobacco and cannabis vape emissions, even though vaping devices produce less than one-third of the particulates of traditional cigarettes.

A recent incident reported on Reddit described a guest being charged $400 for vaping in a Golden Entertainment-operated casino resort. The detector not only identified the vaping activity but also recorded precise timestamps of the violations. When contacted, Golden Entertainment stated that the reported fine amount didn't match their properties' policies at Arizona Charlie's or The STRAT.

The Halo Smart Sensor, manufactured by IPVideo, is the primary detection system being used. This technology:

• Continuously monitors air quality
• Detects specific chemical signatures from tobacco and THC
• Records sound abnormalities like shouting or gunshots
• Provides detailed reporting capabilities

According to security company Avigiolon, these detectors serve as revenue generators for hotels through violation fines. Former hotel employees report that the sensors are highly sensitive, triggering from various sources including hairspray, candles, and matches.

The technology appears to be widespread, with even budget properties implementing these detection systems. As this technology becomes more common in Las Vegas hotels, guests should be aware that any form of smoking or vaping in non-designated areas will likely result in substantial fines.
