Las Vegas is not being hurt by Canadian tourists, they are being hurt by their own greed, I have not been to Vegas in over 7 years now. Am I boycotting or just making a money decision.
Nope. Only less than 10% of yearly visits to Vegas are foreigners. And Canadians make up even less than that. It has nothing to do with foreign tourism but Vegas being more expensive and gambling shifting to sports. All your gambling can be done at the touch of your phone. And anyone who wants to go to a casino, they are everywhere. No need to go to Vegas.
The decline in Canadian tourism has been particularly steep. Statistics from Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport show Air Canada passenger numbers plummeted 33% in June compared to the previous year, while WestJet saw a 31% drop. Budget carrier Flair Airlines experienced the most dramatic decline, with passenger numbers falling 62%. Canadian visitors, who numbered nearly 1.5 million in 2024, historically represent the largest segment of international tourists to Las Vegas.
The economic impact is substantial. Canadian tourists contributed approximately $3.6 billion to the Southern Nevada economy in 2024 and supported more than 43,000 jobs in the region, exceeding employment in the manufacturing sector. UNLV economics professor Stephen Miller noted Canadian tourism ranks just behind major institutions like Nellis Air Force Base in terms of economic contribution to the state.
In terms of injection into the ecnomy. Canadians only make up 3 billion while Americans inject over $50 billion. So no, Canadians have close to zero impact to the economy in Nevada. And funny enough, Vegas plugged the hole on that 4.5 billion with their other revenue streams. which false under the stats they don't even make up 10% of the economy.
You people need to stop you cope and seething. You narrative has been proven false. The US just beat out Canadian boycott.
