Las Vegas continues to see a tourism slump, echoing numbers that are similar from nearly two decades ago.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LCVA) released its year-end summary for 2025 this week.
There were 35,457,000 people who visited Sin City — down 7.4% from 2024, the report says.

The highest visitation year ever recorded in Las Vegas was in 2019, with 42,523,700 people before a dip during the coronavirus pandemic, according to LCVA data.
Visitor volume in 2025 closely mirrors the levels seen in 2000, 2002 and 2003.

Hill added, "Our international visitation is flat, but is making up for a 20+% drop in tourism from Canada, which is our largest international source of visitation."

"I think everyone is in a position where you can say we're missing some of our Canadian friends who aren't visiting this year," said Stevens.
He also said he believes the lack of international visitors right now may be due to the overall global economy and exchange rates.

Rick Harrison of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas previously told Fox News Digital he remains hopeful tourism will pick up, but acknowledged the city hasn't been getting as many visitors as it once did.
"I’d say probably 40% to 50% of the people I get are international," said Harrison.
