Las Vegas Tourism Plunges 7.5% Amid Economic Woes

Las Vegas experiences its sharpest visitor decline outside the pandemic, with 38.5 million tourists in 2025, down 7.5% or 3.1 million from 2024. Soaring prices, inflation, economic uncertainty, and political tensions deter travelers, especially Canadians cutting trips by up to 50% due to tariffs and immigration fears. Casino workers face reduced hours on quieter floors, while hotels offer perks to boost midweek stays amid falling occupancy and revenue.
