Las Vegas Crapping Out

The April numbers are in for Las Vegas and it appears Sin City is crapping out. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, visitors to Las Vegas in April 2019 totaled 3,542,000. In April of this year–the first full month since the cornonavirus shutdown, that number plummeted drastically to 106,900, a 97 percent drop! Digging deeper into the report, we find that 529,500 conventiongoers visited Vegas in 2019, compared to a big, fat goose egg this year, a staggering 100 percent decline. Now, the money numbers.

The gaming revenue in all of Clark County last April, which includes downtown Las Vegas and The Strip, was $808,648,000. That number crashed to $3,719,000, a decline of 99.5 percent. You can’t make this stuff up! And with Gov. Steve Sisolak more than likely getting his marching orders from the Deep State, like all of the other Democrat guvs, the future of Las Vegas doesn’t look too bright. This episode of Jacobslifeinvegas gives us more detail on the city’s financial state of affairs and opines on what the future holds.
