Nevada reports casino revenue declines for February
According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB), casino revenues for February 2025 recorded a decline of 9.28% when compared to the same period of last year.
The biggest hit came from the Las Vegas Strip, where revenue declined almost 14% and brought in $690.3 million for February, down from $800.6 million last year. Other areas like Downtown Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Boulder Strip also saw declines, though not as big. On a positive note, Laughlin and Mesquite saw small revenue increases.
However, the year-to-date decline doesn’t mean that the whole was a year of decline for the state. From July 2024 to February 2025, gaming revenue is only down by 1.14%. Baccarat, a popular game, saw the biggest decline, while roulette saw a slight rise in revenue.
Despite revenue declines, Nevada collected more fees from casinos. The state earned $75.2 million in fees for February, a 6.72% increase compared to last year.
