CRIPPLE CREEK — A Teller County judged ruled Thursday that the Midnight Rose Hotel and Casino was in violation of the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act by continuing to let customers light up.
County Court Judge Jackson Peters Jr. ordered casino manager Donald Rosen to pay a $100 fine plus court costs. Peters could have fined the casino a maximum of $200.
“It is scandalous that these Colorado casinos did not and do not take the law seriously,” said Stephanie Steinberg, chairwoman of Smoke-Free Gaming of Colorado, in a statement.
The casino had claimed it was a cigar bar and thus was exempt from the state law that bans smoking in casinos.
