Casino airflow doesn’t explain the low rate for residents who don’t visit or work at Casinos.
- joe_the_user 6y agoWell, the primary reason you'd expect a higher than average rate in Nevada is Casinos. Without that, Vegas would have an average rate - plus, is Casinos are the main social outlet, those who don't go to Casinos might not go anywhere and be less likely to get the virus.
- dkdk8283 6y agoLocals avoid Casinos unless they work there. I lived there only for a year but avoiding tourists was primary #1.
- greglindahl 6y agoMy Vegas-resident brother-in-law loved counting cards and betting on unpopular baseball teams, both of which involved entering casinos. Perhaps data is better than our two anecdotes?
- dkdk8283 6y agoFair point, you’re right.
- nl 6y agoGoogle mobility reports[1] show workplaces down 55% and retail and recreation down 47% for Clark County, Nevada (where Las Vegas is), and both dropped very quickly from March 13.

- nradov 6y agoLas Vegas residents go to stores, restaurants, gyms, etc just like everyone else. Other than the casinos it's an average urban areas.
- pests 6y agoRight, which is why it would it would be an average rate without casinos.
