🗞️ News Las Vegas Tourism Stats Update (Dec 2025)

140 Upvotes

Some graphs to highlight the current state of Las Vegas tourism. The three graphs highlight the tourism drawdowns relative to their peak levels historically for that month.

The graphs are:

  • Total Monthly Visitors (down 10.8% from peak levels for December)
  • Hotel Occupancy Rates (down 9% from peak levels for December)
  • Airport Passengers (down 11.7% from peak levels for December)

Las Vegas overall still looks to be in a medium recession with tourism down ~10%.
I would generally consider slowdowns on the following scale:

  • 0-4% down = slowdown
  • 4-9% down = mild recession
  • 9-20% down = medium/heavy recession
  • 20%+ down = depression

Data is from Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)

When my brother and nephew came to Vegas we took them and two friends to see the sharks at Mandaley Bay . It was fantastic. They are very proud that they have AZAA ratings. American Zoos and Aquariums. .They are considered a legitimate and worthy Aquarium and not a casino attraction or exhibit.

🛫 Visiting soon! Best Strip Spa For Day Pass Only?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Frequent visitor here. I'll be coming for a short stay in a few months and I'd like to use a spa but not book any services. I just want to enjoy a hot tub, steam room, and quiet atmosphere for a little while. I typically use MGM-property spas. I've visited: Aria, Vdara, and MGM Grand.

This time I'll be staying at Flamingo. Any recommendations near there?

I know Aria is impressive (huge) but it's never been quiet and peaceful when I'm there. It always seems to be full of (loudly) chatting people. Any of the Caesar's properties have a spa you like?

I was being so lazy for hours contemplating to walk all the way over there from Bellagio room & finally made the move. It was pretty good pizza! But it was just pizza if that makes sense.

🫣 What The… Escorts in clubs?

199 Upvotes

I know the answer isn't 0 but how often do escorts use bigger dance clubs like OMNIA or Hakkasan to pick up guys.

There was a girl that ended up dancing with me. She wasn't dressed provocatively and was more cute than beautifulI. I danced with her for a couple hours then told her I had to go and she came out with me. Asked her where she was from and said "local" and was here by herself. She ended up asking if I wanted her to go back to my hotel with her and I declined. At first I figured she was a single local that was into me, but hindsight there's might be enough red flags to make me think she might have been a pro.

🥳 First Time in Vegas! First timer

0 Upvotes

I just joined to see what the first timers like to get into when they are in vegas but I figured I could still ask…

My husband and I are going to Vegas for a wedding the first weekend of November. 3 days, 2 nights. He got the plane tickets. Southwest. Round-trip. But i’ve never been on a plane. You could say I was an “unfortunate” child that didn’t get opportunities to see new places or travel. So any advice for a first time flyer, please & thanks.

I dont even know where to begin looking for a place to stay. We want to try gambling and maybe see some shows? Idk. This is the first time im really doing things after having kids. Give me recommendations! Whats the weather like in November? is Meow Wolf cool? Best restaurant? Club?

🏨 Hotel Linq, NY NY, or Excalibur?

12 Upvotes

My gf and I are doing a trip to Vegas in late August. We have already booked the linq on a whim but are considering switching based on recommendations. We will be meeting friends who are staying at the Excalibur.

Is the linq worth being central in the strip? The rooms seem ok but not anything exceptional.

We enjoy how fun the rooms look at NYNY, but is that enough to make the switch? We would be closer to our friends but we’d be paying a similar price to the linq.

The Excalibur is the least expensive but we’d be saving money that could go to other things (food,entertainment, etc). The rooms are the least impressive but seem to be passable.

Any info tips or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

🏨 Hotel Vegas over New Year’s with teens/pre teens?

0 Upvotes

Looking to book a 4-5 day trip with our kids (ages between 10-14). We plan on renting a car to do Grand Canyon or Valley of Fire for a day. Otherwise we will have a few days in Vegas. Due to school and work schedules, our only time to go is over NYE, so we are looking to make the most of it. We want fun things to do over New Year’s Eve, but aren’t looking for anything VIP or over the top. My kids don’t do well with just sitting around. Is there a hotel you’d recommend that is located close to all the action or the fireworks? I am ok with splurging but would prefer to spend less than $500 per night. I saw Cosmopolitan was a good location but it’s over $750 per night. I’d rather save a bit on hotel and spend money on a show or something. Any input would be great! And if I’m looking for a unicorn, let me know. Oh and is there a hotel that has pools open at that time? Thanks!

Hello Las Vegas! I'm a researcher on the HBO documentary TV series "Neighbors" about ongoing neighborhood stories and disputes.

We are hoping to do a segment in Nevada, and we are interested in talking to anyone with a unique relationship or ongoing dispute with their neighbor (noise, property lines, pets, parking, construction, etc.).

We would be so grateful if you or someone you know has an ongoing story to share. Please visit helloneighborstv.com to submit your story! Thank you for your help, guys!

🛫 Visiting soon! Public Golf in March

1 Upvotes

In search of recommendations for public golf within a reasonable distance of the strip for a buddy’s 40th birthday trip. Looking to play on Friday morning, March 5th. Hoping that is early enough before March Madness that it won’t be too crazy.

Would like to keep the price at $250/person or below.

Also - any insight on Canyon Gate? We’re members of an Invited course and could likely get on there as a fall back.

Thanks for your help.

🛫 Visiting soon! Flamingo deposit question

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I decided to book a weekend trip to Vegas this week. I’m staying at the Flamingo. I have a question since it’s a pretty weird situation I have rn. I have a credit card but it’s still in the mail, but I have access to it via Apple Pay (Chase). I also have enough funds to cover the resort fee and stuff on my debit, HOWEVER, I would prefer not to touch the debit card with the massive $320 incremental. I was on the phone with the guy at the Flamingo a few minutes ago and he said “as long as it’s not cash it’ll be fine”, but I’m just thinking to fact check and see if that holds true. My physical credit card likely won’t arrive until next week, so it’s gonna be a tough gamble, since I only have access to it from my Apple Pay right now.

Looking forward to all answers provided! Can’t wait to be there this weekend.

edit: I meant incidentals lol

🛍️Local Business Looking for Lawyer that's local to vegas. GEICO denied my claim on a rental car accident because my passenger was driving. What are my options?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m in a really stressful situation and could use some advice on how to proceed and what kind of lawyer I should be looking for.

The Situation: I recently rented a car in Cali with thrifty and drop off at LAS Airport. I was the sole authorized driver on the rental agreement. We were about 30 minutes away from the airport when I realized I was way too exhausted to drive safely. I made the call to hand the keys over to my passenger so we could get there without falling asleep at the wheel.

While my passenger was driving, we were involved in a collision with another driver.

I filed a claim with my personal auto insurance (GEICO). They just notified me that they are denying the claim entirely. Their reasoning is that because my passenger was not an authorized driver on the rental contract, it breached the agreement, which voids my GEICO coverage for the rental. I'm based off Boston so its standard Boston Geico.

Do you have any lawyers I can reach out to help me with this that are local to the Vegas area?

🏨 Hotel Weed vapes in hotel rooms?

0 Upvotes

I’ve heard the hotels in Vegas claim they can detect if someone has smoked vapes in the room. Can they really somehow sense weed vapes? For instance like the Mandalay Bay? I smoke them in my own home all the time and an outsider would never know by the lack of smell.

Just curious ✌️

🍔 Food General restaraunt recommendations

8 Upvotes

Ok y’all apologies for being general here, but I’m trying to eat out every day I’m in town and I want food local stuff. Food I’m interested in: soul food, Peruvian, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, BBQ, steakhouses and seafood.

Or anything that’s just special and I need to try! I already had taqueria sabor yesterday so I didn’t mention Mexican. Prices for tacos here are a bit crazy compared to socal I must say.

Edit: my fault y’all I was half asleep when I made this post but to clarify I’d like places that are like decently priced with a decent portion size. They don’t necessarily have to be elite five star meals. I do kinda wanna try a Gordon Ramsay or one of the elite joints tho

Edit: so far considering grand lux cafe, yard bird, izakaya go, Jackson’s,golden steer and gangnam after I hit kpopusa

🫣 What The… Planning my first MGM property stay! Which ones are worth it vs overrated?

5 Upvotes

Booking my first solo Vegas trip and decided to stay on an MGM property since i got a discount through playing Pop Slots. Never actually stayed on property before, always just visited for the day or stayed off strip to save a few bucks.

I've been going back and forth between Bellagio, Aria, and MGM Grand. Trying to figure out which ones are worth the splurge and which ones are more hype than substance at this point.

Trip is a couple months out so still have time to plan around it. Whats your take?

Is this a viable place for one man to spend a week in? Some of the reviews say its literally Fallout 3 but I think I'd be fine. Ive Never been robbed, mugged or murdered before so maybe it will build character.
