What area are you going to be in?

[nativetexan_1]

Down town area mostly: Amtrak station, the arch, casinos, JR's.

Maybe someone else can chime in on downtown. I am not familar with a lot of places downtown. There are no smoking restrictions in St. Louis yet. It all depends on the place as to whether they allow cigars. I would have to say the new casino would probably have some nice places. It was closed because of the flooding. The Cedar Box in Alton is pretty nice to hang out at if you will have a car. JR's is a well stocked cigar shop but there is no lounge.
