Las Vegas Tourism Down

Monday, August 04, 2025

Sin City is facing a summer swoon, and Californians " by far the largest tourist contingent, data show " are partially to blame. 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. Traffic on Interstate 15 at the California-Nevada border was down 4.3% over the same period, suggesting fewer visitors from the Golden State heading for Vegas casinos.

A report from the World Travel and Tourism Council projected that the U.S. would lose $12.5 billion in international travel spending in 2025.

"While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the closed' sign," Julia Simpson, the council's president, said in a statement.

The report cited air-travel booking data from March that showed a 15% to 20% drop in expected travel from major tourism sources including the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.

Visitors from Canada and Mexico made up more than half of international tourists to Las Vegas in 2024, according to data from the visitors authority.

The Native American casinos in California will probably benefit the most from this. Good for them.
