Nevada casino gaming enjoyed the third-straight month of revenue growth in April, with baccarat on the Las Vegas Strip playing a major role despite a falling number of Sin City visitors.
High-stakes baccarat regularly plays a major role in the city’s monthly revenue fortunes and has a major impact on statewide revenue totals. This month, Strip casinos saw $124.8 billion in winnings from the game, up 15.3%, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Overall, Las Vegas saw solid slot and table game revenue, complementing statewide gains. Nevada’s casino revenue was $1.3 billion in April, a 5.2% increase from $1.23 billion in April 2025.
The state collected $78.4 million in taxes for the month, a 15.2% year-over-year increase.
For the fiscal year (July 1, 2025, through April 30), revenue is up 2.3%.
Clark County Revenue Up 5.3%
On the Strip, table game revenue spiked 8.8% to $282.4 million, while slots rose 5.1% to $407 million. Other parts of Clark County also mostly saw gains. However, downtown Las Vegas slid 0.6% to $83.4 million.
North Las Vegas saw a 2.8% increase to $25.6 million, while Laughlin reached $47 million, surging 16.9%. The Boulder Strip saw a small gain of 0.1% to $90 million, and Mesquite revenue went up 4.1% to $164.5 million. The entire county saw revenue climb 5.3% to $1.1 billion.
The Las Vegas area could see a major shakeup in the city’s casino industry in the coming months. Golden Nugget owner Tilman Fertitta is acquiring Caesars Entertainment for $5.7 billion and would also take on $11.9 billion in debt as part of the deal.
Visitor Numbers Mixed
Despite the growth experienced in Clark County, visitor numbers once again fell, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Visitor volume fell 1.8% to 3.3 million.
Total hotel room occupancy also slid 1.5% to 83.1%.
There was a bright side to the picture, as convention attendance saw a 3.2% increase to 592,100.
