I see the aromatics of the Plaza commented on from time to time in various threads. I apologize if there is a thread specifically regarding it that I missed and should have followed.
I had a chance to sit down with Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel back in November. I asked him about "the smell" and he explained the situation and what they're trying to do.
There is a sewer main that runs under the Plaza, and of course it includes sewer stink. I got a pretty good whiff of it when exiting the Plaza on the south side. It's pretty bad, or at least was that day. The Plaza attempts to mask that odor with a perfumey scent they pump into the casino. They're constantly trying to get the balance right, but it is difficult because the perfume pumps out at various spots in the casino and at different levels, and the sewer may be stronger or lower from day to day. Depending where you are and your "powers of smell" you may detect the perfume as very high or almost non-existent (and then possibly pick up the sewer scent).
They intend to really tackle the sewer issue in 2017, but obviously this will be difficult because we're talking a sewer main running under the building.
I personally thought the scent wasn't too bad on my last trip. I couldn't smell sewer, but could smell the perfume at a moderately low level. It didn't bother me and I forgot about it after about 10 minutes in the casino.
It has gotten better in my opinion, and hopefully they can resolve it once and for all this year.
