Coming up on November 16th, Turning Stone Resort Casino's gambling floor will be smoke-free. Smokers will be limited to their own mini-casino.

This mini-casino is called Casino Blu. It's currently being constructed on the gaming floor. According to Syracuse.com. the move is part of a $20 million upgrade of the casino and hotel resort that Oneida Indian Nation.

The smokers' refuge -- Casino Blu, to be enclosed by glass but with open entrance points -- will take up about a quarter of the existing 125,000-square-foot gaming floor. A state-of-the-art air filtration system will be installed to improve air quality, said Joel Barkin, speaking for the Oneida Nation.
