Sure, Las Vegas is known for its casinos. But just because Sin City has the highest concentration, that doesn’t mean it has a monopoly on gambling. If Vegas isn’t your thing but you still want to hit the slots and be entertained, then seek an alternative at one of these non-Vegas casinos that are getting the most Yahoo searches.

You have no idea what I earn. I hope you get over this nonsense.
It’s not nonsense. And you have no right to judge what I do with my disposable income. I’m sorry to learn you have such a self-righteous attitude. Have a good day!
Casinos are good clean fun. Let’s you and me start one.
We can’t. Why is that exactly?
I can judge. You are a fool.
When my kids were younger, we'd take them to Orlando and do the whole "Disney" circuit. Epcot, Seaworld, Magic Kindom, Universal, etc. Spent thousands of dollars in which I spent most of that time waiting in lines in the hot sun for a 90-second ride or a $10 cheeseburger. Wasn't so much fun for the wife and I but we did it because we wanted the kids to have a good time.
Now that the kids are grown, we take the same money and go to Las Vegas. Toss some money in the slots, play a little Blackjack or Roulette. See a show or two. Maybe we win some money, most times we don't. But either way, we have fun and we spend less money than we did going to the Disney theme parks.
If I drop $50 on a slot machine and come away empty after a couple hours, so be it. But these days I'd rather spend money that way then waiting two hours in the hot sun for a 90-second ride on Space Mountain - after which I throw up my $10 cheeseburger.
Like you say, there are many forms of entertainment. Some people pay hundreds of dollars to see some dinosaur rock act like Eagles, Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd. To me, that's flushing money down a toilet but some people would rather do that than to hang out in an air-conditioned casino where drinks are brought to them while they play games of chance. I don't judge them either way.
You talk about logic. The logic of the situation is you will lose money. And this is fun?
Ditto
So when you go to an amusement park and pay $50 to get in, are they handing the $50 back to you when you come out?
I didn't think so.
His mind is made up, don’t confuse him with facts.
Amen!
