You guys are good. I mean, not really, but it's amusing me anyway.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Stronger than Sin. Hmmm....
Well, I suppose the first step is which aspect of Sin is being considered. It's a romance, so let's assume it's love. So the love splattered upon the pages of the novel is stronger than the love of sin.
This is still pretty general. How much on average do people love sin? Well Vegas is sin city and a quick check shows that ending fiscal year 2009, the casinos had a net loss of 6.7 billion dollars. That's not very strong love.
Therefore I presume the love in question will be short-lived and will end badly with accusations of not returning CDs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What about the strip joint revenue? I think the casino net loss might be people being very good at sin.
But doesn't the house always win?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Y'all are setting the bar way too high. If the sin is sloth, all our sultry heroine has to do is get off the couch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I got good feedback from a non-boss person. And they may have found my replacement -- yikes. At least I'm pretty sure to get a contract for April as well.

I think you're over complicating the issue. I think that overall casino profit is a reasonable estimation of the wages of sin.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I was thinking about going to urgent care today because of this week-old cold but today the glands that were swollen have gone down, I'm breathing easier and my throat is not as sore. I'm not well, but I'm better. That means I don't need to see a doctor, right?

So death equals negative 6.9 billion? IN some board rooms, probably.

In terms of revenue, a dead gambler and a gambler who doesn't make the trip are functionally equivalent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That means I don't need to see a doctor, right?
I'd say you were getting better on your own. But then I've been told I am a bad judge of such things. To those people I remind them that I *did* go to the doctor when I had whooping cough. And a concussion. Eventually.
