Marketing a Casino???

In the past few years I have gone to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos multiple times.  I am not a big gambler but I do like to watch people and they have some of the best food a drinks I have ever had.  But I noticed that both casinos have tv, internet, and radio advertisements on many different channels.  What they don't say on the ads is that it is almost doulble the price to stay there than at a hotel in the surrounding towns.  Also the casino hotels book up to capacity weeks in advance for a Friday and Saturday night.  I was wondering how much money they spend on advertising, when they make enough money where they can give free hotel rooms out to "customers" who lose enough money gambling.  I've also been to Las Vegas, and every casino seems to be even more extravagant than the next.  If you can handle the smoke, these are some of the most beautiful buildings and best entertainment you will ever see.
Do you feel that advertising is necessary for Las Vegas or any casino?
