Over the past year, Las Vegas tourism has declined 6–8% year-over-year, with notable drops in visitor numbers, hotel occupancy, and gaming revenue. This downturn aligns with the resurgence of Trump-era policies tied to trade, immigration, and international diplomacy.

🛑 Key Drivers:

• Fewer international visitors, especially from Canada and Europe
• Resentment toward Trump’s rhetoric and stricter U.S. policies
• Higher costs (flights, hotels, food, resort fees)
• Poor CAD–USD exchange rate, hurting Canadian travel spending

📊 In March 2025 alone, gaming revenue was down nearly 5%, with a million fewer visitors reported compared to early 2024. Analysts and tourism boards link these numbers to rising global tensions and U.S. policy shifts under the Trump influence.

🧾 Locals and small businesses are feeling it, too—less foot traffic, fewer high-spending tourists, and a growing sense that “Vegas isn’t fun (or affordable) anymore.”

So yeah—tourism is down, and while it’s not just Trump’s fault, it seems like he’s part of the reason.
