According to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data, the first four months of this year showed a decrease in the overall number of visitors. Mark Wayman, a recruiter for executives in the gaming and casino industries, told Business Insider in May that Las Vegas bookings through the summer are “the worst I’ve ever seen.”
Air traffic into Harry Reid International Airport is also trending downward, as domestic travel for the first half of 2025 was down 4% compared to last year.

I visited Vegas last year. Regardless of any sort of economical or political issues, it was some of the most miserable heat I’ve ever experienced. Standing outside for only a few minutes exhausted me.
The heat? Having lived there years ago, it wasn’t the heat, it was the fucking stink of the strip that turned me off.
That’s why you should stay inside where there’s AC. Preferably by a slots machine.
