Nevada tourism is likely to decline over the next two years, and Las Vegas gaming revenue along with it. So says a recent report out of the Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).

One of the report’s authors, Dr. Stephen Miller, says the report considers several factors that, taken together, should produce a downturn compared to the period from 2022 to 2024.

However, he does not believe that the expansion of legal gambling in other parts of the United States is one of those factors. Although new retail casinos are popping up in numerous other states, it isn’t the availability of local gaming options keeping visitors away from Sin City.
