I guess it's a personal thing, but I don't see how everyone going to a casino is a great idea, or developing team relationships.

I worked at a company that was pathologically thirsty and had only hard drinkers above entry-level.

For those people, just drinking was the bonding. It reinforced the tribal affiliation.

Casinos often provide free drinks. QED

This makes sense its the:

> I like to spend the company budget on blow and hookers, therefore it makes sense for me to invite all the employees to a strip club as it is a little more restrained.

Mentality.

I would guess that the casino is a relatively cheap space that can do entertainment and conferences and food, and it's not being chosen for the gambling aspects

I get what they offer, I guess I just don't see that as team building.

Having fun with people in general is team building. Amusement park would do the same thing. It doesn't have to be any special format.
