    I know it’s a joke, but as a non-gambler, big casinos are FASCINATING. They are like little towns unto themselves. Food, entertainment, room and board, everything under one roof.

    For work stuff I’ve been to good ones (Wynn) and bad ones (MGM) and it’s fascinating each time.

      I think – but do correct me if I have this wrong – what you’re describing is a resort, which all the big casinos do have, hence “casino resort”. Resorts are truly astounding, how they basically operate their own in-house logistics. That some casinos expand to become a resort is not a coincidence, since it’s the lure that draws people, and then they stay for the food, the hotel, the shows, etc…

      But there are also non-casino resorts, often located in otherwise undeveloped places that don’t have a nearby town to support all the visitors. And then at sea, there are floating resorts in the form of cruise ships, whose logistics are simply unfathomable to me.
