拉斯维加斯威尼斯人度假村总裁兼首席执行官帕特里克·尼科尔斯最喜欢的帕特加斯的路西塔尼亚，这款茄49环径，7.625英寸长。他觉得不仅仅是喜欢这款茄的味道，关键是这款茄点燃后可以抽两个半小时，似乎永远不会熄灭。所有，路西塔尼亚很适合帕特里克·尼科尔斯打高尔夫球时候抽，在美丽的环境中抽着茄散着步，当打球不那么顺利时，路西塔尼亚提供了一个很好的消遣。

威尼斯人度假村的Palazzo新开了一个高档消费空间，多出来一块空间，帕特里克·尼科尔斯自然知道如何使用。这是一块1214平方英尺的角落空间，没有特别用处，所以我们把它改造成一个美丽的雪茄休息室，有高档的红酒和私人的雪茄保湿柜，我们亲切的称之为蓝色房间。帕特里克·尼科尔斯介绍说。

当尼克尔斯完成一项大工作时，他选择在蓝厅好好休息一下，点支雪茄庆祝一下。比如最近耗资15亿美元翻修威尼斯人和Palazzo，他就在蓝厅点茄庆祝，那里的雪茄柜里装满了茄。

他说，这里的很多雪茄都是客人送的礼物，我会选一支保养的最完美的然后点上，然后拍照发给送雪茄的客人，这是一种感谢赠礼的方式，让他们知道我用他们送的雪茄在庆祝。

The current favorite cigar of Patrick Nichols, president/CEO of the Venetian Resort Las Vegas, is the Partagás Lusitania, at 7 5/8 inches long, with a ring gauge of 49. And it’s not just the flavor he savors. “It’s about a two-and-a-half-hour cigar that never seems to go out,” he says. “So, that makes it perfect for golf. You’re enjoying a nice walk in a beautiful setting and the Partagás provides a good distraction when things are not going great with your game.”

When the Palazzo at the Venetian Resort opened a new high-limit room and found itself with a sliver of extra space, Nichols knew exactly what to do with it. “The Blue Room, as we affectionately call it, is a 1,214-square-foot nook that really didn’t have a purpose. So, we turned it into a beautiful lounge, with premium wines on display and private humidors.”

The Blue Room is where Nichols might repair after finishing a project, such as the recent $1.5 billion refresh of the Venetian and Palazzo. When it’s time for a celebratory smoke, his humidor is stocked.

“Many . . . are gifts from customers. I’ll light up the perfect one and shoot the person a picture of me smoking it. That’s a way of saying thanks for the gift and letting them know what I am celebrating.”
