Researchers have found that the separation between Nevada's gaming and cannabis industries could be negatively affecting tourism, particularly as visitor preferences shift towards experience-driven travel. While recreational marijuana is legal in the state, its use is restricted to private spaces and licensed lounges, and not allowed inside casino-resorts. This disparity may be problematic for Las Vegas, which is known for offering everything in one place. However, research found that about 70% of respondents support cannabis use in casino settings, and around 40% would be more likely to gamble at a property where cannabis is allowed. Despite this, casinos have largely avoided cannabis, citing federal law as the main reason.
