Las Vegas, which had a boom after the coronavirus pandemic, is now facing a sharp decline in tourism, and the drop in Canadians in particular has casino managers worried. Statistics show that the total number of tourists is down more than 11% compared to last year, and Canadian airlines have also seen a significant drop: Air Canada has seen a 33% drop in passengers, WestJet has seen a 31% drop in passengers and Flair has seen a 62% drop in passengers.

Many Canadians have canceled trips to Las Vegas because of the trade war and Trump's policies. They say they don't want to spend their money in the United States and are also concerned about clashes at the border. Some, like Martin Daly of Winnipeg and Guy Kerberat of Regina, have canceled their annual trips to the entertainment city because of the "disrespect" of the Trump administration.

The decline in tourists has had major economic consequences for Nevada; The state's unemployment rate hit 5.8 percent in June, and local senators have been negotiating with Canadian officials to ease tensions and bring back tourists. Economists say Canadians contributed $3.6 billion to the local economy last year and supported about 43,000 jobs. The sharp decline in Canadian presence is worrisome for Las Vegas casinos and the tourism industry, whose main goal is to fill rooms and attract visitors.
