The Nevada Gaming Control Board has released its January gaming numbers, which were down 6.6% from the previous year. The Strip saw the largest drop, with Downtown Las Vegas losing 5.2%, Laughlin losing 3.3%, and the Boulder Strip losing 7.5%. The state's gaming tax collections are up only 2.1%, below budget projections. Meanwhile, figures for 2025 reveal that Las Vegas visitation fell nearly 8% from 2024, and traffic at Reid International Airport fell more than 10% in December and was down 6% for the year. This has not been attributed to the decline of international tourism, which has been largely flat since Barack Obama's administration. The state budget relies heavily on sales and gaming tax revenues for spending plans.
