Dammit. Got too hung up on scoffing at the 'more churches than casinos' line to even expect the pun setup.
I've never been to Vegas, but I've heard more than one person express surprise at how much more city there is besides the casino strip? No idea if that'd make up for the casino density on the strip
There are the BIG casinos, which only take up a finite space, but there are also little casinos pretty much everywhere you look. Even gas stations will have slot machines. That's true of most of nevada, tbh.
If people pray while at the slot machines, does that make them churches?
Maybe, hah, probably not to the god of catholics, though.
Church Of Mammon?!
Not just Nevada, any state that legalizes VLTs soon becomes plagued by VLTs (slots by any other name are still slots) put into every existing building. Gas stations, bars, strip clubs, convenience stores, etc, everyone gets slots/VLTs. Bonus is that any empty building gets purchased and filled with them since nothing but gambling survives despite the surroundings. Illinois is my main example here as my home state, I can’t spit without hitting a slot machine it’s ridiculous
