Las Vegas Tourism Plummets as Prices and Fees Rise

News summary

Las Vegas is facing a sustained decline in tourism, with overall visitor numbers down 6.5% in 2025 compared to the previous year and international arrivals at Harry Reid Airport falling by 8.7% in May. Skyrocketing prices for basic items, hidden resort fees, and costly entertainment have led to visitor frustration and negative experiences. Some local businesses and casinos are reporting revenue declines of up to 40%. The city’s focus on attracting affluent tourists has left budget-conscious travelers feeling excluded, shifting Las Vegas's traditional appeal. This combination of high costs and market changes threatens Las Vegas’s reputation as a leading entertainment destination. Efforts to attract visitors back include discounts and value packages from some hotel-casinos.
