That's not a positive development: it's because casinos are getting replaced by sports betting on your phone, which is much much worse.

Also they've been bought out by private equity an prices have shot through the roof -- Vegas is seeing massive downturns in tourism and from my cursory following of the problem, it's all price increases on food, booze, travel, hotels on the Strip making people uninterested in going.
