In December 2004, amendments to the Smokefree Environments Amendment Act 2003 came into force. From this date, smoking was banned in all indoor spaces in New Zealand hospitality venues.
On 10 December 2004, indoor areas of every hospitality venue in New Zealand became smokefree. People was no longer able to smoke inside places such as bars, gaming venues, clubs and restaurants.
At SKYCITY Queenstown Casino, Wild Thyme Bar and Restaurant and our gaming areas are smokefree.
But smoking customers are still welcome at SKYCITY Queenstown Casino.
We have three outdoor balconies especially for smokers, one off the main gaming floor, one off Wild Thyme Bar and one off the Summit Room.
