The city is propped up largely by business conventions, at this point. Businesses don't mind swallowing stupidly high costs, especially for sales+marketing teams who always get blank checks, which artificially inflates the price of visiting for absolutely all other audiences. So, nobody else is going.
I've heard that musicians hate performing in Vegas now because so much of the audience are not real fans - but instead business travelers with comp tickets. Dead audiences who don't care.
Unfortunately, I had my first trip to Vegas last year for work. And again in June. And now again in September. Because I'm there for work with work engagements, I don't get to explore the more interesting things outside the city and strip. And having no interest in gambling, stupid-level drinking, loud noisy music, or flashy shit everywhere, I've come to really hate going there.
If it makes you feel any better, the only thing outside of the city and strip is poverty and sorrow. You're not missing anything.
If you get out of the city, Red Rocks State Park and Hoover dam are worth seeing.
Goodsprings is also nice.
