You can add high minimum bets....
Back about 20 years ago...$2 was minimum bet...
Some even as low as 1 dollar...
Laughlin, Nevada used to have 25 cent craps...long time ago.

Only about 7 full buffets now, and it ain’t prime rib every night...maybe once or twice a week for prime rib. But they have much better food than old version...
Lots of Asian buffets in Las Vegas outside of casino areas. Vegas gonna’ have to lower fees and prices to survive.

Vegas starting to realize people can gamble online, Indian Casinos, state lotteries, so the people don’t have to make the pilgrimage to sacrifice their money anymore.

High minimum bets are not limited to Vegas. Just about every casino in Illinois does the same thing. Of course, the cost of surviving in Illinois is high anyway, so the natives don't notice it.

It's a little better in Iowa or Wisconsin, but if you are burning gas with Illinois gas tax included, better is a relative term.
