I've never been to a 'proper' casino, but I've seen a few in James Bond films.
Everyone is attractive, powerful and sophisticated. People look on, impressed at his daring. Everyone has a bow tie on. Beautiful women hand him free drinks with a smile. The atmosphere isn't even slightly tinged with the desperation and regret of gambling addicts.
I can understand losing $50 a day to live out that fiction.
I have no idea whether any casinos offer that experience - the gambling things I've seen in my country have all been far more tawdry.
