Las Vegas experienced an 11% decline in tourism in June 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, welcoming just under 3.1 million visitors. The downturn is particularly pronounced among international tourists, with Canadian visitors—the city's largest foreign market—showing a sharp decrease. Flight data from Harry Reid International Airport indicates a significant drop in Canadian tourism, with advance bookings for Canada-U.S. flights between April and September falling by more than 70%. Officials, including Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley, have attributed the slump to the Trump administration's tariffs and immigration policies, which some refer to as the "Trump Slump." These policies are believed to have contributed to reduced travel from Canada and Mexico, with cross-border car trips down 36.9% and air travel down 25.8% in 2025. The tourism decline has impacted local businesses, with resorts and convention centers reporting fewer visitors and some establishments, including classic casinos, announcing closures. Visitors and locals have also expressed concerns about rising costs and diminished value, with some businesses offering specials to attract customers amid the slowdown. The tourism slump in Las Vegas is seen as a potential warning sign for broader economic effects in the United States.
