1. Last time I went to Vegas, most of the dealers I saw and heard around Fremont Street were Cantonese speakers which means that at least some have a connection to southern China and probably make the odd trip from time to time.
2. There must be demand from the casinos themselves to move staff around.
3. Mainlanders who come down to gamble in Macau might also want to go on a North American gambling binge.
4. Chinese people, in general and stereotypically, love to gamble.
