Reddit debate reveals Las Vegas has become far more than a gambling destination for millions of visitors
A Reddit debate asks whether visiting Las Vegas without gambling is weird, sparking fierce responses about shows, restaurants, pools, and hiking.
A fierce debate is erupting online about gambling and Las Vegas.
As our loyal readers know, I'm a huge fan of Sin City. I was built for Las Vegas and Vegas was built for me.
It's a magical place with endless opportunities. Whether it's hitting the tables or hitting the bars, it's always the highest of highs and lowest of lows.
Now, there's a fresh debate cooking.
A Reddit thread popped up this week titled, "Do People Really Go To Vegas Without Gambling?"
The original poster wrote the following:
It was off to the races from there in the comments, and reactions of all different kinds were flowing in. Check out some of the responses below, and let me know your thoughts at [email protected]:

Admittedly, I'm a little surprised by how many people responded (there are way more not shown) they don't do much gambling while in Las Vegas.
That's literally one of the main reasons I go. Nothing hits harder than the boys taking over an entire blackjack table. Now, to be clear, I only gamble when I'm in Las Vegas. I don't do it any other time of the year. It's definitely only vacation behavior.
I, maybe foolishly, assumed a lot of people were the same. I guess not. To be fair, there are some awesome places to see and eat in Las Vegas. Trust me, I've checked out my fair share, but how do people not throw down a single hand of blackjack on an entire trip?
The thought of going to Las Vegas and doing zero gambling is breaking my brain.
What do you do in Las Vegas and what tips do you have to share for my next trip? Let me know at [email protected].
