● Same as the Facebook Depression effect: Seeing your "friends" have awesome lives makes you feel more miserable about your own.
● Being surrounded by happiness /or/ the expectation of happiness makes people feel behind, like losers, and makes them depressed.
● Depression is highest in 1st world countries.
Now, think about Las Vegas, it's a "celebratory / party" town. Lights, glamour, parties, fun times, gambling, excess, big business, big hotels. Its atmosphere only exaggerates the idea that "everyone is doing fine but you, you're a loser". Building a startup community there is probably not a good idea.
