Casinos are not just gambling. Though there is nothing wrong with it, the vast majority of folks who go are responsible about it. They also have shops, entertainment, usually museums when Native American run, and the best restaurants. ALL of which, including the gambling parts, offer hundreds of employment opportunities.
