Flight data from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas shows a significant decline in Canadian tourism.

The number of people arriving at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas from Canada was down 65.6% in June compared to the same period in 2024. 86,698 people arrived during the month across Flair Airlines, Air Canada, and WestJet, down from 132,109 the previous year.

A new survey sheds some light on the people behind Nevada’s elevated unemployment rate, which has consistently remained higher than all other states and higher than prepandemic levels. The Center for Business and Economic Research at ���ӽ紫ý surveyed more than 300 Nevadans who self-identified as unemployed and seeking a job. The results, released this week, suggest there are disconnects between the jobs people desire, the ones they are qualified for, and what’s actually available.

New numbers show Nevada’s unemployment rate is among the highest in the nation. Economists told 8 News Now that it’s not just bad luck, but rather the lingering aftershock of a city built on tourism, which is still adjusting to a changing economy.

Hotel occupancies plummet 17 percent in early July, marking steepest decline for a major tourism market.

In early March, Anthony Curtis, the publisher of the long-running Las Vegas Advisor, noticed that Station Casinos had a startling promotion going: $5.99 for a cheeseburger and fries. He found the deal appealing but out of character for Las Vegas, and he promptly announced in his newsletter: “Has hell frozen over?”

And now, as the city struggles to cope with one of its lowest points in recent history, Las Vegas hotels are being crushed by falling occupancy and revenue. The financial crisis, which has created uncertainty and chaos in the economy, has taken a heavy toll on the tourism industry. This decline is being compounded by the disappearance of overseas guests, who are hesitant to travel because of fears surrounding the global economic picture. The result? Las Vegas—formerly a bustling hub for tourists—has seen its hotels dive into performance woes, with occupancy and revenue dropping to unprecendented levels. The net result is that in Las Vegas, just as in other key U.S. tourism markets, these crises such a destruction that not only Las Vegas but handful of the major U.S. tourism-driven properties are seeing, demonstrating how deeply these crises cut.
