Reddit Thread Spurs Debate Over Las Vegas Trips Without a Single Bet

A Reddit post asking whether visitors really go to Las Vegas without gambling drew a flood of replies saying many trips now center on shows, restaurants, pools, sports and nearby parks instead of casino floors.
Commenters said high table-game costs, unattractive odds such as 6:5 blackjack and triple-zero roulette, and easy access to gambling elsewhere have made betting less central to a Vegas vacation.
Las Vegas still drew defenders of gambling, with some users calling casinos the city's defining attraction and saying at least a small wager is part of the experience.
The split highlighted a broader view of Las Vegas as a convention, entertainment and regional travel hub—what one commenter called "Disneyland for adults"—rather than only a gambling destination.
