According to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data, the first four months of this year showed a decrease in the overall number of visitors. Mark Wayman, a recruiter for executives in the gaming and casino industries, told Business Insider in May that Las Vegas bookings through the summer are “the worst I’ve ever seen.”

Air traffic into Harry Reid International Airport is also trending downward, as domestic travel for the first half of 2025 was down 4% compared to last year.

    Who cares. I hope it turns back into a desert. Fucking fascist us. Getting worse by the hour.

    Edit: some reindeer try to obfuscate by nit picking the point. It now says desert. My point still stands.

      “I hope everyone living there starves” is not the woke take you think it is.

        I did not say starve. You’re being theatrical.

        They can move on to other jobs in their wonderful country.

          Are you not familiar with the dust bowl? Because it’s synonymous with people starving.

            Are you not familiar with Las Vegas? It was desert before it was developed. What is a euphemism for desert? A dust bowl. Class finished.

              No, the dust bowl is not a euphemism for desert, it was a disaster caused by poor farming practices.

              Sounds like you should watch a documentary about the dust bowl because you clearly need some education on the topic.
