There are Muslims who think going for vacation to places like Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno Nevada, etc, is allowed and fine; as long as they are not gambling/drinking or involved with any of the other forbidden things which go on there. In other words, they think they're just going there to stay in the hotel (usually a casino hotel, sometimes a separate hotel but right in the middle of all the casinos), enjoy the "scenery", go out and have a good time with the family doing "halal" activities.

These Muslims are under the impression that going to such places with your family under the above-mentioned conditions is completely fine. I am looking for relevant ahadith/ayat/fatwas which disprove this illusion which they are under.

I did Google but didn't come across much which would resonate with this type of thinking (it needs to be something which sends a "direct hit"). Insha'Allah you brothers and sisters can help out.

(unless of course, I am completely wrong and it is in fact fine to visit such places given that you're not going to engage in the haram activities going on there? I doubt it).

Allah knows best.



Aside from religious issue - why would you want all those casino crazed and drunkard people around you? You will continuously run into them. Not a good choice for vacation spot even from worldly perspective.
