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 went last year and won’t be going back. When I went in 2018 it was NOWHERE near as expensive (still expensive but we paid like $35 or something for a jack and coke at the poolside bar in 2024 at the flamingo …) they have priced themselves too high for your average person to go and visit.
It’s this + the ICE shit and it not being safe to come here anymore that have fucked Vegas.
