I can theorize two reasons.
(1) To discourage the homeless from congregating (good luck with that), and
(2) To drive all who are thirsty into a commercial establishment (hello, casinos) in order to acquire a salutary, thirst-quenching beverage.
#1 is ill-conceived and has been proven to be ineffective in discouraging the homeless from lingering in Las Vegas, and #2 is a blatant example of commercial exploitation (no surprise there).
