My understanding is that bars in Vegas do this with “atmosphere models” who are payed to fill out bars and encourage people to order more drinks in general. I heard about it in this podcast: nodumbquestions.fm/listen/2021/5/20/109-what-happens-in-vegas starting at 37:00 with context and about 39:50 when he gets into atmosphere modeling. This guy started working in the back of a bar for a few days a week and part of the deal was he would spend some nights sitting in a related bar. He also goes into a lot of other interesting stuff that happens in Vegas which I don’t remember off the top of my head.
