Nevada secures its best-ever April with revenues up 5.2 per cent

Each of Nevada’s regions was up apart from downtown Las Vegas

Nevada’s land-based casinos secured their best April revenue performance on record, with almost $1.3bn in revenue, marking a 5.2 per cent increase despite a downturn in visitor numbers to Las Vegas.

The Strip’s casinos were up 6.5 per cent to $689.4m with baccarat revenue up 15 per cent, tables up 8.9 per cent and slots up five per cent. Each of Nevada’s regions was up apart from downtown Las Vegas, which fell 0.62 per cent, from $83.9m last year to $83.4m this April. It marked a third consecutive month when the Strip’s gaming revenue increased year-over-year.

Barry Jonas, an analyst with Truist Securities, said: “Between our Vegas consumer perceptions survey, our Vegas room rate survey, our recent MGM upgrade, and Caesars Entertainment’s pending takeover by Fertitta Entertainment, it’s been a wild week on the Strip. We think the results were better than expected, as we believe Q2 could be a potential inflexion point for the Strip.”

The increase came despite another fall in visitor volume, which came in at 3.28m for the month, a decline of 1.8 per cent from April 2025, according to figures from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Convention footfall increased by 3.2 per cent year-on-year
