     @Hoss Much as I'd like to say it's because young people aren't gambling, the truth is that it's because they're all just doing it on their phones.
     
     Job I had before my current one, almost all my coworkers were younger guys, most fresh out of college. On lunch break, they didn't even talk about sports, they'd talk about the bets they were making on said sports. It was surreal.

     @Hoss I've traveled extensively and never been there once, not even had a yearning to go. Absolute den of tackiness and depravity, just gross.

     @Hoss The boomers are the only ones as a whole that had enough disposable income to prop up the Vegas model. They better start spending a shit ton of money on overseas advertising because the jew-S-A is sinking like the RMS Lusitania.

     @Hoss Every aspect of Vegas is rigged against you. Even the lighting....
     
     
     "Blue Lights Casinos
     
     Casinos frequently use blue-enriched lighting, particularly from LED screens and fixtures, which research suggests can influence gambling behavior. A study by Flinders University and Monash University in Australia found that exposure to blue-heavy light reduces a person's sensitivity to financial losses, making them more likely to take risky bets This effect is linked to the activation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the eyes, which respond to blue wavelengths and project to brain regions involved in decision-making, emotional regulation, and reward processing Under blue-enriched light, participants in the study reported that a $100 loss felt less impactful than a $100 gain, leading to more risk-taking behavior
     
     This lighting is common in modern casinos, appearing on slot machine screens, gaming tables, and throughout the casino interior The blue light may suppress activity in the amygdala, a brain region involved in fear and reward sensitivity, and affect the habenula, which regulates reward expectations, thereby diminishing the emotional sting of losing While the study involved a small sample size of 15 participants and was conducted in a controlled lab setting, the findings suggest that the lighting environment could be a subtle but significant factor in encouraging prolonged gambling
     
     The use of blue light is not limited to the main casino floor. Some machines feature blue "candles" on top, which typically indicate a dollar denomination, and certain systems use blue lights to signal that a player is eligible for complimentary drinks based on their gambling activity Despite these findings, the casino industry maintains that responsible gaming initiatives are primarily for public relations, and there is no indication that blue light levels are being reduced to promote safer gambling, as some researchers have suggested The blue light from screens and casino environments is also a concern for users, with some reporting eye strain and considering blue-light-blocking glasses as a potential mitigationx

     @Hoss boomers simultaneously chastising youngsters wasting their money on avacado toast and Starbucks and whining that youngsters aren't wasting their money on boomer vices like gambling and fast food.

     @Hoss >To blame
     I love that it's always "blame" to younger Americans, but never "thanks" to younger Americans for earning a meager subsistence wages in the crappy economy left to them.

     @Hoss Cruises are dying.
     Las Vegas is dying.
     Golf courses are dying...
     
     Seems that every time we read an article about Boomer industries that are dying, they're always a frivolous money sink that only someone with too much expendable income would ever enjoy.
     I'm not even saying we're poor. I'm saying these are industries that can only exist when their audience has so much money they have to throw it away.
