It's the same dynamic we see with "dry counties:" next to the "dry" county line there's always stores offering alcohol for sale in the adjoining county, catering to those coming from the "dry" one.

It really is impossible to legislate morality.
Mormons that have gone astray are called "Jack Mormons." And while its against Mormon belief to gamble it's quite okay for them to work in a casino. Mormons ran Howard Hughes casino empire. The casino employee's in Mesquite used to be mostly mormons that lived in St. George, Utah.
