i think that "boiling" is a main verb not an adjective.
i think also that " the scent, smoke, and sweat of the casino are all subject of the sentence.
you can just use "and" before the last item. as i wrote it .
scent, smoke, and sweat are all nouns. and they function as subject. because "are" is used here.
the casino is not the subject because if it is the subject
