Casino airflow doesn’t explain the low rate for residents who don’t visit or work at Casinos.


Well, the primary reason you'd expect a higher than average rate in Nevada is Casinos. Without that, Vegas would have an average rate - plus, is Casinos are the main social outlet, those who don't go to Casinos might not go anywhere and be less likely to get the virus.


Las Vegas residents go to stores, restaurants, gyms, etc just like everyone else. Other than the casinos it's an average urban areas.


Right, which is why it would it would be an average rate without casinos.


Locals avoid Casinos unless they work there. I lived there only for a year but avoiding tourists was primary #1.


My Vegas-resident brother-in-law loved counting cards and betting on unpopular baseball teams, both of which involved entering casinos. Perhaps data is better than our two anecdotes?


Google mobility reports[1] show workplaces down 55% and retail and recreation down 47% for Clark County, Nevada (where Las Vegas is), and both dropped very quickly from March 13.

Fair point, you’re right.
