WHERE TO SMOKE

Casa Fuente, Forum Shops at Caesars, 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; (702) 731-5051. An ornate room reminiscent of a turn-of-the-last-century Parisian salon where you can get strong, rich coffee or a precious cognac and smoke rare reserve cigars in a patio bistro abutting the Forum Shops promenade.

Havana Republic, Miracle Mile, 3660 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; (702) 784-0006. A quiet and elegant cigar store featuring a spacious humidor for patrons who want to smoke in a comfortable setting with cushy chairs and pleasant company during a shopping-filled afternoon or after a good meal. Try one of Cesar Ramirez's hand-rolled and hand-branded Bariays here.

Cuba Libre, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 4455 Paradise Road; (702) 693-5000. A small, dark bar and lounge off a corridor in the Hard Rock that crowds with twentysomethings in pursuit of scene as night falls in Las Vegas.

Gustav's Cigar Bar, JW Marriott, 221 N. Rampart Blvd.; (702) 869-6700. The dark wood trims and duck-hunter green walls here create a true men's-club feel, but the spirit is open and egalitarian, and the bar becomes pub-like with rich aromas as the evening wears on.

Napoleon's Lounge, Paris Las Vegas, 3655 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; (702) 946-7000. Between the lipstick red textiles, the mahogany-hued walls and the mirrors at every vantage, you'll swear you're in an 18th century French drawing room. Champagne pours, pianists perform and smokers relax in the high style one comes to Vegas to find.
