March decline in Las Vegas visitation blamed on international travel drop-off
Warning signs crop up as Strip visitation has fallen more than 7 percent in the first quarter of 2025. Tourism official points to “evolving federal policies.”
Las Vegas visitation fell nearly 8 percent in March, and the top research analyst for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) pointed Tuesday to uncertainty brought by Trump administration policies.
Southern Nevada drew almost 3.4 million visitors during the month, down from almost 3.7 million in March 2024.
For the first three months of 2025, Las Vegas visitation is down almost 7 percent compared to 2024, with declines in all three months — the first time that has taken place since the pandemic. Southern Nevada saw a 12 percent drop in visitation in February, which was attributed to the oversized crowd that came to Las Vegas a year earlier when the city hosted Super Bowl LVIII.
Analysts attribute much of this March’s fall-off to declines in international travel.
