    You're clearly not in the Vegas demo, and that's OK. It's a tourist destination. 'Gambling' is just part of the 'fun'.

    You are probably right
    I was wondering what the FUN is
    I know some shows
    What else?
    Cause I think the other casinos are trying to catch up to that

    Shows, partying, clubs, food, the Strip in general, the Sphere, other entertainment (lots of it), strip joints, hookers, gambling.

    I will also say that for an 'adult' playground, Vegas is much nicer than other gambling towns. They work pretty hard to keep the seedy side that comes with legalized gambling repressed and locked to certain casinos/areas of town. If Vegas would outlaw smoking in casinos it might even draw more people. When I walk through casinos it's a pretty small margin of people who are smoking but the stench makes me want to move on pretty quickly.

    Lots of Indian casinos near me in California. The machines and tables feel a little crammed together, the bathrooms more crowded and less nice, the entertainment poorer quality, the food not as good, etc.

    It's like saying, why go to Hawaii when there's a beach in Galveston?
