In 2025, Las Vegas experiences a 6.5% decrease in visitors, lower hotel occupancy, and reduced gaming revenues due to economic uncertainty, high costs, and fewer major events. International arrivals fell drastically, particularly from Canada and Europe. Industry responses include promotions, legislative changes, and marketing increases to support tourism recovery.

I’ve been to Vegas a bunch of times. It’s a fun place to lose some money, but it’s all slot machines with worse payouts and tons of resort fees now.
