Vape detectors are becoming increasingly common in Las Vegas casino resorts, with properties installing sophisticated sensors to detect both tobacco and cannabis vaping in hotel rooms. These detectors are far more sensitive than traditional smoke detectors and can identify specific chemical signatures from vaping activities.

Recent reports indicate these devices can track exact timestamps of vaping incidents, leading to substantial fines for guests. One Reddit user claimed receiving a $400 charge at a Golden Entertainment property, though the company stated this specific amount doesn't align with their policies at The Strat or Arizona Charlie's.

The Halo Smart Sensor, manufactured by IPVideo, is the most commonly used vape detection system. These devices:

• Monitor air continuously for tobacco and THC traces
• Detect sound abnormalities like shouting or gunshots
• Generate detailed reports of air quality changes
• Can identify various airborne substances, including hairspray and smoke from matches

Security company Avigiolon promotes these devices as revenue generators for hotels through increased detection of policy violations. The technology appears to be spreading across various hotel tiers, from luxury resorts to budget properties, and shows no signs of being phased out.

For guests, this means increased scrutiny of in-room activities, with hotels now having concrete evidence to support smoking and vaping violation charges.
