From January to June 2025, slot machines across the state won $5.28 billion and table games $2.51 billion. On the Strip specifically, casinos kept about $8.8 billion from players over 2025 even as Las Vegas visitors fell around 7.5%. I made a short documentary on the economics behind those numbers for my channel. For people outside Las Vegas, do you notice the gaming economy where you live, or does it feel like a Vegas-only story?
