US EditionLas Vegas tourism suffering, new reports show
- According to recent data from the city’s tourism authority, overall visitor numbers to Las Vegas have decreased by nearly 8% through March 2025, with airport arrivals down 3.9% and gaming revenues experiencing a 1.75% decline.
- Officials attributed this downturn mainly to fewer international travelers, especially Canadians, economic uncertainty, and a lighter event calendar compared to the previous year.
- Despite the visitation decline, convention attendance increased by 10%, with over 500,000 trade show participants in March forming 15% of all visitors, indicating business travel remains stable.
- MGM Resorts closed some concierge desks to shift toward digital services due to lower demand for in-person support, while Caesars executives expressed confidence, stating, "I don't see a downfall at all."
- The mixed data suggests Las Vegas faces challenges in leisure tourism but maintains stability in business travel, with both major operators cautiously optimistic about future growth despite uncertain economic conditions.
