About Las Vegas Strip
The Las Vegas Strip is the largest single gaming market in the United States, and on its own it usually produces a little under half of all Nevada gaming revenue. Destination visitation drives the results, which makes the Strip far more sensitive to the calendar than Nevada's locals markets: move a big convention or a fight weekend into a different month and the monthly line moves with it. The Control Board began reporting the Strip as its own area in 2018, so for earlier Las Vegas figures you want Clark County.
Other Nevada markets in 2018
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.
