Lid goes to Vegas

On a recent trip to Vegas The Lid discovered a wonderful way to save money. We rented a Cabana at the Bellagio for a day at $350. At first glance, your typical tight wad penny pincher is gonna say no way, but The Lid quickly put a pencil to it.
I calculate my average losses for a day in the Casino to be around $450, $250 for my wife and probably around $100 each for my two daughters.
The Cabana has a fridge full of soft drinks and snacks, a large LCD, card table ,couch, 4 lounge chairs outside, and a great view of the pool. What am I missing here? You rent the Cabana all day long,every day. Hell, you even have room to spend a couple hundred on booze.
The same reasoning applies to paying the exorbitant green fees to play very ordinary golf courses while in Vegas. You simply compare Casino costs to Green Fees. This makes even the most expensive course, Shadow Creek, at $500 a sweet deal, considering they include a limo and range balls.
