There are cases where gambling becomes a tourist destination. Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Macau, Singapore and Japan are very familiar to me when it comes to casinos visited by local and foreign tourists in order to gamble.
I'm setting Las Vegas as an example. It is a desert and it is hot. Tourists want to enjoy and relax in their travels and a desert isn't the place for it. But thanks to its variety of huge casinos it also attracted many forms of events regularly. This made Las Vegas as the entertainment and gambling capital of the world even if it is located in a desert.
