That's a pretty common myth that alcoholics believe. The reality is that the majority of our population either drinks very little/moderately or not at all. AKA - most people spend their social life in a lot of different places than bars and drinking parties.

As Carl mentioned, sobriety is a big change for an alcoholic...but it's not like you are being quarantined to some odd place, you are now just going to start doing things that most other people do. It's entirely possible to see the world, travel, enjoy life to the fullest without drinking. People do it every single day all around the world.

Yes - if your husband is intent on going places where drinking is the ONLY planned activity, you might need to spend time elsewhere. Even in Las Vegas there are plenty of places to go and things to do without drinking.
