Over the past year, Las Vegas tourism has taken a serious hit. Experts have blamed it on growing inflation, the rising cost of living, and the result of President Donald Trump\u2019s aggressive tariff policy.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the cause, the signs are clear, and they have continued in the most recent data. Las Vegas\u2019 jobless rate was among the highest in the nation in June, reaching almost 6%. This represents the third-highest rate in the country among metro areas with at least 1 million population.<\/p>\n

Not only that, the rising room rates in Las Vegas hotels are gaining more attention. Recently, a story arose of a guest at the Paris Las Vegas who was charged $50 to charge a laptop<\/a>. The guest unplugged a mini fridge to do so, and later learned that unplugging the outlet came at a high cost.<\/p>\n

This rise in costs has coincided with a downturn in travelers visiting Las Vegas. The number of international air passengers traveling to Sin City decreased 10% in June year-on-year. Overall visitation fell 11%, while hotel occupancy also declined to 79%, down from 85% last year.<\/p>\n

Oliver Lovat, casino consultant and CEO of the Denstone Group, shared his thoughts. He said: \u201cIf you have less discretionary income you\u2019re not going to take that trip to Las Vegas.\u201d Lovat explained that consumer confidence directly correlates with Las Vegas success, if this is down then the gambling hub suffers. <\/p>\n

Despite this, he said he doesn\u2019t think anyone should panic. \u201cIt may be a drop in visitation, but it\u2019s still strong historically,\u201d he said. \u201cSo let\u2019s not overreact.\u201d<\/p>\n
