Las Vegas Resorts Launch Citywide Discounts Amid Sharp Tourism Decline

Las Vegas is experiencing a notable decline in tourism, with visitor numbers dropping over 11% in recent months and hotel occupancy rates decreasing. In response, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has launched a citywide "Fabulous 5-Day Sale" featuring significant discounts on hotel stays, dining, entertainment, and resort fees waived at numerous properties to attract visitors back. Major casino operators like Caesars Entertainment and the Sahara have introduced special deals including $300 stay-and-dine packages, discounted drinks and spa services, free parking for Nevada residents, and complimentary attractions to combat the perception that Las Vegas has become too expensive. Local promotions require guests to present a valid Nevada ID, with Fontainebleau, Station Casinos, Downtown Grand, and M Resort among those offering reduced rates and waived resort fees. Despite some visitors perceiving the city as still busy, the tourism sector's downturn has prompted aggressive marketing and pricing strategies aimed at reversing the trend. LVCVA leadership remains optimistic about the future of Las Vegas despite the current challenges.
