Visits to Las Vegas were down 11.3% in June 2025 versus a year earlier, according to data from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

... Small businesses across Las Vegas and Nevada are feeling the impact from an overall drop in tourism and international tourism -- particularly from Canadian visitors.
According to agency Travel Nevada, 1.49 million Canadians traveled to Nevada in 2024. Canada is Nevada's top international market, the agency tells FOX5.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority notes that economic factors are the primary cause of a Las Vegas tourism decline, but tourism leaders are also tracking the decrease in international visitors.
Data from Harry Reid International Airport compares travel from previous years. In April's report, Air Canada had a 13.9% drop in passengers year over year. WestJet passenger numbers saw a 18.4% drop in the same category.
Many tourists flock to Nevada for its outdoor recreation opportunities, which bring in $8.1 billion to the state's economy and employ 58,000 workers a year, according to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto's office.
Many small businesses are crucial to nature tourism.
