Canadian visitation to Las Vegas declined by roughly 17% in 2025, according to figures attributed to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, as the city’s total visitor volume fell 7.5% from the prior year.

Visits to Las Vegas from Canada dropped 17.4% in 2025, based on Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) figures cited by multiple local and industry publications.

The broader tourism picture also softened. LVCVA statistics show Las Vegas hosted about 38.5 million visitors in 2025, a 7.5% decline from 2024.

Some political leaders and tourism stakeholders have tied the Canadian decline to broader cross-border frictions and travel sentiment. However, publicly available LVCVA visitor totals and market-by-market counts do not, by themselves, establish that tariffs were the direct cause of the drop.

Separately, while the LVCVA publishes historical visitation series dating back to 1970, available summaries reviewed for 2025 do not support the claim that 2025 was the “worst non-pandemic year” since 1970.

The LVCVA data cited in those reports indicate Canada remained the largest single source of international visitors to Las Vegas in 2025 despite the decline.

Posts highlight economic impacts on hospitality while attributing the slump to trade policies rather than other factors.
