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.
Other Nevada markets in 2016
All figures are gaming win at nonrestricted locations, taken from the Nevada Gaming Control Board's monthly Gaming Revenue Information reports. Win is what casinos kept after paying winning wagers, before taxes and operating costs. Restricted locations, the taverns and stores running fifteen machines or fewer, are reported separately and excluded here.
