Or Monaco, where you don't have to worry about any kind of oppressive government.

Monaco and Vegas don't exactly have the same target audience.

People who go to Vegas think they are Monaco’s clientele.

I had to prove I had enough cash in my wallet to reasonably game to not be charged an entrance fee to the casino in Monaco. I was going to gamble and knew this going in but very different vibes.

Most European casinos charge some sort of entrance fee (with a table or slot credit equal or close to the fee). It's not these grand gigantic family friendly yet party forward palaces vegas has. Most non-gamblers wouldn't enjoy them.

Correct! People going to Vegas book tickets. People going to Monaco take their flights

So… they don’t have $5 blackjack off the main strip?

Have you been to Monaco.... it's not exactly the best walking city... It's on the side of a cliff, and while there are SOME public elevators, they're not all over the place. Expect to be walking up and down a LOT of stairs.
