Las Vegas Tourism Is Down. Some Blame Trump’s Tariffs and Immigration Crackdown
Tourism dropped 7.3% in the first half of 2025, leading to falling casino revenues and rising unemployment in Las Vegas, heavily reliant on visitor spending, officials say.
- On August 18, 2025, state data show consumer spending in Las Vegas, Nevada, is down amid a tourism slump and economic jitters.
- Amid a slide in tourism, officials say Las Vegas, Nevada faces fewer visitors this year, partly due to President Donald Trump's administration's tariffs and immigration policies.
- Food services and drinking outlets in Clark County, Nevada, logged nearly $11.7 billion in sales from July 2024 to May 2025, down 1.6 percent, state data show.
- In June, the Las Vegas–area unemployment rate was 5.8 percent, third highest among metros with over a million people, threatening job cuts, Bryan Wachter said.
- Despite current declines, Jeremy Aguero said these weakening odds could nevertheless rebound in the near future.
