At the time of writing, the poll had more than 14,250 votes, with almost 68% blaming the downturn on high prices. With everything from parking charges to resort fees, $26 for a bottle of water, and lower house-edge table games, people are feeling like they’re getting priced out.
one-quarter of respondents believe President Donald Trump’s policies have been the main contributing factor
Almost one-quarter of respondents believe President Donald Trump’s policies have been the main contributing factor. Earlier in 2025, he announced widespread tariffs on dozens of countries, including close neighbors Canada.
The number of people who visited Las Vegas from the nation dropped 65% year-on-year in June, which is a major cause for concern given the estimation that Canadians contributed $3.6bn to the Southern Nevada economy in 2024.
Less than 8% of people believe economic uncertainty is the reason for the decline, while only 2% aren’t sure what the reasons might be. Some people in the comments provided alternative views, noting that alcohol consumption levels nationwide are down and that extreme temperatures during the summer could put off visitors.
