About Downtown Las Vegas
Downtown Las Vegas covers the Fremont Street casinos north of the Strip. It runs a materially different business: lower table minimums, a higher slot share, and a mix of tourists and locals that makes it less exposed to the convention calendar than the Strip. Separate reporting begins in 2018.
