Is it a sin to travel to “sin city” and gamble?
2413 Games of chance (card games, etc.) or wagers are not in themselves contrary to justice. They become morally unacceptable when they deprive someone of what is necessary to provide for his needs and those of others. The passion for gambling risks becoming an enslavement. Unfair wagers and cheating at games constitute grave matter, unless the damage inflicted is so slight that the one who suffers it cannot reasonably consider it significant.
that’s why you have to WIN!!! lolYes, I knew what the Church’s teaching is regarding general games of chance…yet, my question is specific to Las Vegas. That city exists because of sinful activities, and when we go there and spend our money gambling are we not just helping to propogate that sin?
This rationalization could be applied to anything. If you pay your taxes…you could be funding crooked police officers, etc.Yes, I knew what the Church’s teaching is regarding general games of chance…yet, my question is specific to Las Vegas.

Helping procure an abortion is forbidden, because it is a Canon Law, based on the Authority and Discipline of the Church. Not because of any doctrinal statement that I know of.Bengal,
I am serious though. If we participate in abortion in any way, we are commiting sin…therefore, if we willingly help sinful activities to continue, then why is that not a sin?
