Las Vegas saw a sixth consecutive monthly decline in visitors in June, according to NPR. The city hosted nearly 400,000 fewer tourists than the same time last year, an 11.3% drop, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Experts cite economic uncertainty, weaker consumer confidence, and a sharp drop in Canadian visitors amid Trump’s 35% tariffs as key factors behind the slowdown. Both hotel occupancy and convention attendance fell, along with airport traffic and road travel. Analysts warn that Vegas tourism is often a broader economic bellwether. International tourism to the U.S. is also down, with barriers like strict visa rules and heightened airport scrutiny deterring visitors.
