I'm not familiar with what you are talking about, so it's rather difficult to give any advice.

The most popular gambling city in America and perhaps the world is Las Vegas. Located in the middle of the Western desert, this city is a unique place where the main attractions are the many casinos with their non-stop gambling machines and nightclub entertainment.
The gambling covers a wide range of games from roulette to slot machines and black jack. The foreboding element and danger of risk is ever present. A person may lose a little over a long period of time or a great deal all at once. Such is the uncertainty of gambling. A careful gambler will never lose more than he could afford and a lucky gambler may walk home with a jackpot. Most would be happy if they just broke out even.
When one tires of these games of chance, the gambler may enjoy the many nightclubs which are part of the casinos. Featuring some of the nation's most famed entertainers, they provide a necessary distraction and offer a moment of relief from the tensions of the gambling tables. For those who may have suffered great financial losses, they offer temporary consolation before the long trip home.
If one cannot afford to travel out West, then there is a gambling center in the eastern part of America which offers a similar outlet to those who wish to try their luck with fate. The East Coast "Las Vegas" is located at Atlantic City in New Jersey. Instead of being located in the desert, it is found on the windswept white sandy beaches of the great Atlantic Ocean.
Often in the streets which feed into the gambling districts, there are many **** shops for those who have sold their earthly possessions to wager a bet or who need money to compensate for their losses.
In recent years the popularity of gambling once confined to Las Vegas and Atlantic City has extended to other states especially along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Following suit several other states have chosen to legalize casino gambling with the hope of acquiring revenue to fund domestic programs. The once pristine and secluded beaches in many southern states are now alive with the lights and lure of the casinos. These casinos have begun to attract many gamblers worldwide to their shores.
Although the excitement of gambling can provide much fun, it's possible to lose a great amount of money at the casinos and some people often do. There is a growing fear among some people that gambling can be a social disorder which breaks up families and lives. If someone feels they are a compulsive gambler, they are advised to seek help through Gamblers Anonymous.

The question for this is 'What level of learner do you think this passage would be suitable for?'.
