As long as people are allowed to smoke in public, which is far more
intrusive than engaging in a telephone conversation, I doubt that
you'll see a cell phone usage ban anytime soon. I share your sentiment
that in general, not just in this particular setting, people should
not be allowed to engage in self-indulgent behavior that affects the
enjoyment of others. However, Nevada has always been, culturally,
a "let it hang out" state, reluctant to curb people's antisocial
behavior, in no small part because what keeps Nevada ticking is that
selfsame antisocial behavior.
I would just start a LOUD, animated conversation with my constant
companion, Pooky the Invisible Wolverine, commenting on each and every
hand and its outcome until Cell Phone Person went elsewhere. Fight
fire with fire.
