Hey Casino Insiders, I thought I’d bring you the newsletter a day earlier this week so I could get a chance to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. One thing I am grateful for is you, the readers.

When I started last month, I asked you what you wanted to see in our casino coverage. Two Casino Insiders, Sally Murray and Susan Perez, asked about smoking on casino floors. You asked, we found out. Here’s where you can and can’t smoke inside Southern California’s tribal casinos.

I appreciate the feedback you’ve shared so far, which helps me think of future story ideas.

Keep the feedback coming, and I hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
