Showboat in AC question

[jmussina]

I read on here a few months ago that the Showboat's poker room was having problems due to the new law passed that states smoking is only allowed on the gaming floor. Since my buddy for some reason just loves playing at the Showboat(he always wins there). I was wondering if they cleared up this problem of having people take the long escalator ride down to the main floor to smoke, or if it is still a problem, as I don't want to try to play there if my opponents get up and leave for 15 min every hour or so.
