So you realize you chose your metaphor poorly and won't admit it? Weird way to say that, but ok.
WE are not stuck in the casino. YOU are stuck in the casino. That's the point of the metaphor that made sense.
The vast majority of Vegas isn't casinos or the Strip. Many millions of people live in Vegas who don't gamble at all.
I'm not driving your metaphor into the ground, but just using it over and over because there's numerous ways to show how free you could be if you just took a step back and saw your own situation for what it is.
