Casinos are wildly different in that is usually a 'genuinely' social activity (most people go with friends), there is the potential to win 'real' money (however slight) and even if you don't win (or lose big) you come away from it feeling as though you had fun - Also, there's free booze.
I agree with the sentiment, which is why I only play in the poker rooms, where the odds are effectively neutralized and you just worry about the rake (which goes away in tournaments, minus 'fees'). But even though I don't like the odds of playing the table games, I will occasionally set aside a small amount to play craps with because it's fun.

It's making money from the "whales". A close friend of mine is a compulsive-gambler, trust me they aren't there for the booze or the social experience.
