They can’t write about online gambling because that would give away that this decline isn’t temporary.
I was thinking the same...it’s an obvious omission. Gambling wasn’t as easily accessible as it is now.
I’m often in Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. Buy a burrito for $20, ask for a “cup of water”, NOPE, required me to buy a fountain drink for another $8.
The place practically requires you to pay for breathing. I wouldn’t go there for just entertainment.
