If you are going to ask me, being a bit intoxicated with cannabis might lose one's focus when gambling. I don't think you can make a high person be able to gamble efficiently. The best way to have those rooms is always to have a sign or warnings that would remind people the risks of gambling while intoxicated. That way you will be able to at least lecture people about the negative aspects of gambling while high or intoxicated with alcohol. Also responsible gamblers should know that risk as well. Only fools gamble while high.
Even though I don't agree with gambling while drunk but I still can't say they are fools, because I believe gambling itself is all about luck. Because some of my friends do that and sometimes they still get the win, so in this case if you are not used to doing both at the same time it is better to avoid it. It's different when they are used to doing both at the same time so I think they already know the risks and are ready to accept them, because if they are ready with the risks, at least they can still be responsible for what they do.

Plans from casinos to allow or incorporate cannabis lounges should not be met with a negative opinion, it is a way to make more money, but not in the manner that OP is trying to portray. Rather see it as a move to entice a new set of people to gambling casinos.

Take it or leave it, some people like to drink alcohol and will never smoke, while some others do not fancy alcohol but can smoke and so on...the whole idea is around increasing business by inviting a new set of money spenders into it. Alcohol and cannabis if not taken in moderation but in excess can affect your chances of winning, you are being partial if you put cannabis in that category alone.

I agree with you, modern offline casinos are not only gambling, but many other entertainments and by creating opportunities for each narrow group of lovers of something, the casino only expands its business, plus creates opportunities for lovers of some specific entertainment to get acquainted with other types of entertainment and spend extra money.

Most people already gamble on online casinos, you need to offer some good stuff to bring them back to the real life casinos.

Then why Las Vegas is now turning to what it should be prior to the pandemic?

The usual and regular customers will surely back to the Vegas gambling haven no matter what on which they don't experience playing in online casinos. They are just waiting for the pandemic situation to be fully controlled or make sure that their country already reached great numbers of vaccinated people.

No need to add some cool stuff just to attract again those people to get back gambling physically.
La Vegas is a touristic city, I am sure the regulars are already there playing like usual but this is not enough to sustain the city they need to bring people back and I think this is something they believe can do this, after all despite cannabis being legalized in many states on the US it is still illegal in the majority of the states so they are adding this as an incentive to those people that may like to use it legally and have a good time at the casino at the same time.

Not only to residents of the US, but this will be a good tourist destination of other rich foreigners, where cannabis is banned in their country. And we know that up until now, most countries don't have the legality for cannabis usage. This will be a good spot for them where they can enjoy themselves without worrying about getting caught. I believe when they think about offering this service, they are not only thinking about the regular residents but other gamblers outside their country.
But right now, I think it is not easy to travel to another country because we are still at a pandemic and that is not yet shown when to end.
Yes, that can raise tourism for a country that legalizes gambling and cannabis, but at this moment, maybe the local people can feel that experience.
But for people who already move from offline casinos to online casinos can still consume cannabis at their homes and they are free to do that.
After this pandemic ends and the tourism sector is reopened, it will be time for the offline casino to return to their business with some surprises to their old members.

...both the casinos and the government will make more money this way.
I surely think that this might not be the way to go, alcoholic drinks are served in the casinos for a reason. I do think that this might be a "happy news" for most people but at the same time you should realize that this is something that will drastically reduce your chances of winning.

Wont believe on that unsustainable part because if we do look on bigger picture then these companies are really making some serious profits and of course as an owner then you would really be finding ways or methods

to make more and this is a common mindset for most of them and which it isnt surprising that they do end up on finding ways to make more and it would be.

For those who do love to experience Weed then this place would be a perfect place but of course but you would really be a regular player for sure.

For campaign management look for Little Mouse!
When you go to vegas, you don't think of winning but you think of enjoying, at least I believe that's what the majority of people think. Adding Cannabis lounges is very unique, people could go high, they can enjoy and lose money at the same time, of course, it favors the casino and their profit will drastically increase.
The government hasn't done anything about it because it's allowed probably in this state, so it's not a big deal as long as it will not result in these gamblers committing crimes.

I think that people should more informed of how cannabis, and basically cannabidiol works on human body, and that it can be really helpful against the stress. In that way, maybe there would be more followers of legalization of cannabis in the states, which are still pending.
I don't use it and still contemplating about the pros and cons of it. But I've heard really about it being used medically but for recreational purposes, it's where people are having debates.

But if Las Vegas allows that to have a lounge for specific use like for recreational activity, it really depends on the state rule of their local government.
It wont really be approved if they would see more in negative effects than with positive ones and of course cannabis does have some benefits but we know that everything is too much
would be always bad and for sure they are limiting out on how much a player could smoke on and wont really be having that unlimited smoking of weed on the premises unless if
you do really have deep pocket then they might  really be changing up their minds and we know that money could change up everything and no one would ever do make some
complaints or trying to tell the government or something like that.
No idea if they're also limiting how much a player can smoke on that lounge.

It's like an incentive and benefit for the gamblers who have been gambling there so they're giving them a favor. Maybe you can look at the ruling how exactly it says.

And if there's a rule about limitations for each of the gamblers that will go to that lounge. We know that everything is too much and could cause some problems but in their ruling, we're also guessing.

Here is a novel idea if you can't handle the 2 together don't partake or second don't go.  There are plenty of things that are legal (alcohol being one of them).  I've seen people smashed at the casinos that had no business gambling, I actually think this is better than drinking in a gambling environment.

As long as you can handle yourself and you're not harming anyone, that's fine with me. Use it responsibly so to speak. Marijuana has medical usage itself, but of course abusing the use of it may have unfavorable consequences. So it is up to the person how he will use this privilege. The casinos just give the opportunity for people to easily avail cannabis and that it is up to them how they use it.
When you lose control over yourself, you will not know what you will deal with, which is happening to many people. The casino will have their rule allowing people to use marijuana or something like that because the casino wants to give a chance for people who consume that to playing the gambling games and feel the experience. I think people who consume marijuana, especially those with a history of medical consuming marijuana, will know how and when they can consume it because if they use it over the limit, that can impact their health.

Surely its just part of the perks because hooking up people to stay into their vicinity would really be their main concern or motive and this is why these kind of privilege's had been created.

Its no brainer that this is for their own benefit and of course as a gambler you would really able to smoke weed without worrying about legal issues or something like that

because we know that it is mostly prohibited in all parts or countries in the world and you cant see this kind of feature that a casino to have.

If you are against the legalization of marijuana than you're an idiot.  Plain and simple.
Wow, you look really angry because some people don't cheer on drugs use. I believe no one is forcing you to stop smoking your weed. Everyone is free to do what they want with their lives. People think it's exciting to gamble while under drugs' effects and they have the right to go ahead into this psychodelic adventure. That is how free will works since the beginning of the world, but there are consequences that can't be avoided.

And although it's a clear sign of the decadence of the individual, there is also a good side on it that is the bad propaganda every drugs' user makes for drugs usage. The youngsters think they are smarter than everyone else for using drugs the same way those old hippies from 60's-70's and artists in general thought during their days. Just look how those people have gotten older (or died). That is the perfect propaganda against drugs.

I am not here promoting cocaine, or heroin or crack or anything else...I AM MAD because I am sick and tired of people whom are completely uniformed/brain washed etc when it comes to marijuana.  The legalization of marijuana in the United States has been a MASSIVE success so far and will continue to be so.  I am MAD because marijuana does a TON of good in this world and is desperately needed by many people with health or mental issues and since there are so many people whom believe all of the propaganda ( mostly people whom have never smoked or ingested marijuana) it's taking it way too long to become legalized.  I understand much of the eastern hemisphere of the world is behind in the times ( just stating basic facts here, I mean no offense ) and your governments have been lying to you for decades, but you need to stop believing everything your overlord has been telling you and look at the actual research, the facts.  There is a reason the Food and Drug Administration of the United States recently legalized the first ever marijuana based medicine...because marijuana IS medicine.  Marijuana has helped save countless lives, even my own mother.  This isn't bullshit, this is years of my own research, and that of many others.  If you are against the legalization of marijuana you are inadvertently hurting people..plain and simple.

Moral of this story, no one in the Casinos HAVE to smoke weed..that is THEIR choice.  Not to mention many people will simply smoke weed outside of the casinos or use vape pens inside and smoke weed, so really it wont make much of a difference at all.

You are correct when you say that, but at the same time the fact that gamblers seem to be happy about this indicates that this is not only a business decision by the casino, this is a also decision that was taken because the gamblers wanted it, which makes sense, the number of gamblers that can earn money at the casino is limited and while the number of people that want to achieve this is higher the majority of the gamblers are people that just want to have a good time and this will help them to achieve exactly that.
Neither that Cannabis lounge was purely decided by the management itself or in result with public or players demands then it doesnt matter because no matter what angle you would be looking at then they would be still having the edge.

I dont really believe much about lessening the chances of winning because luck cant really be influenced by any other external factors that is happening unless if dealing with games
which requires critical thinking then this would mostly be affected on.

Theyll do all sorts of things for their benefit and its always a business.
Your luck will not change but your decision making will, for example supposing that you only wanted to spend a couple hundred dollars at the casino but then you are intoxicated with alcohol and cannabis you may find yourself losing that money too quickly and using your credit or debit card to get more chips and losing way more money than what you intended in the first place, see? Your luck did not changed but the money that you lost certainly did.
Several things would be surely be affected because you are in influenced of weed or alcohol or something that affects your mind then you would definitely end up on losing even more
because of bad decision and its a plus for the casino,theyre intent is just to make you spend more.

They will normally be minding for their own benefit no matter what the cost and no matter what ways it would be as long they would really be having the advantage.

If you're against marijuana legalization then you sure as hell should be against alcohol legalization and should want sugar to be made illegal too.  Sugar is a drug, and a drug that is FAR FAR FAR more harmful than marijuana.  Marijuana has never killed anyone.  Do you realize how many people have died because of sugar? SMH  Roll Eyes
some governments in different countries have different views on the legality of cannabis...

my country is one that banned cannabis and put it in the category of drugs because it has a high effect on hallucinations and addiction. cannabis users have no common sense and many cannabis users in my country are going crazy. I can't imagine how a gambler plays gamble when he finishes using cannabis.

I think no one argues that cannabis is a drug, it is just that other drugs like alcohol are not banned, which seems a bit unfair. We can get hooked on alcohol, cigarettes, gambling or smoking weed. The substance is not the problem but rather the people and how they use it. Smoking only the weekends some weed won't make use addicted, same as with alcohol. If we drink reasonably on the weekends that its fine. Having some cannabis lounges in Las Vegas is great, so you don't have to smoke on the toilet in your room, or somewhere outside. If you want to drink you go to the bar, if you want to smoke you go to the lounge. Something for everybody.

Apparently according to a recent news the Gambling Casinos in Vegas are going to allow Cannabis Lounges. In Nevada it's not restricted if you do it in your own house.
https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/vegas-nightlife-gets-more-colorful-with-cannabis-lounges/
What do you think about it ?
- I do think that this is a step taken by both casinos and the government to ensure that people loose more, so that they do not care about what they are doing and at the end both the casinos and the government will make more money this way.
I surely think that this might not be the way to go, alcoholic drinks are served in the casinos for a reason. I do think that this might be a "happy news" for most people but at the same time you should realize that this is something that will drastically reduce your chances of winning.

That's some positive news but it is not enough.

Gambling after smoking is cool but what about woman? Make this available to the players and now it is trifecta. Sex, Drugs and Dice'n'Roll baby. You can't get closer to the 80's than this.
