All-in-all, its pretty sad. It always sucks to lose another lounge, but there are whole casinos turning to no-smoking, so the mall's position doesn't surprise me.

On the shop side (and this is purely speculation based on my interactions with Casa Fuente Management), I wouldn't be too surprised if the Fuentes felt the Casa shop thought they were too big for their britches. The shop staff, bartenders, and waitresses were always top notch, but the manager had a God complex.
