“International travel is way down. People are not coming to the United States. We have a rather large market with the Canadians. It’s gone from, you know, a faucet to a drip. Same thing in Mexico. We have number of very high rollers that come in from Mexico that aren’t so keen on coming in right now.”

STORYLINE:
Tourism in Las Vegas is slumping this summer, with resorts and convention centers reporting fewer visitors compared to last year, especially from abroad.
Some officials are blaming the Trump administration’s tariffs and immigration policies for the decline.
The city known for lavish shows, endless buffets and around-the-clock gambling welcomed just under 3.1 million tourists in June, an 11% drop compared to the same time in 2024.
