There are two main reasons for that. Most people now have casinos within a reasonable distance from home, so they don't feel like gambling is something they have to do in Vegas anymore.
The other reason is the target audience for strip resorts. If I look around at the poeple in the casinos in my area, it's mostly old folks or a kinda questionable clientele. I rarely see people age 21-39 that appear to be very well situated. But that latter group becomes more and more interesting for Vegas strip resorts because they spend money on food, clubs, shows and shopping.
