The Las Vegas Strip is busier than ever. And despite some state gaming markets beginning to see demand wane and play subside, Nevada’s casinos are operating at unprecedented highs.<\/p>\n

September 2022 marked the 19th month in a row<\/a> that Nevada casinos won in excess of $1 billion. Once a major milestone worthy of celebration, Nevada casinos have now made a habit of since the record streak began in February 2021.<\/p>\n

\n

The Nevada Gaming Control Board revealed that statewide gross gaming revenue (GGR) totaled $1.248 billion in September. That’s a nearly 8% increase from September 2021. Only three of the 20 monitored markets experienced a year-over-year decline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

September did benefit from having one additional weekend day than the month did in 2021.<\/p>\n

Strip Surges Continue<\/b><\/h2>\n

Clark County’s Las Vegas, the most important of the 20 metered markets, continues to experience resilient play.<\/p>\n

Strip casinos pulled in almost $693 million from gamblers, an 8.25% year-over-year premium. Slot machines fueled the ongoing rally in September, as the terminals on the main drag generated GGR of $409.5 million — 15% higher than a year ago. The slot surge offset flat revenue from table games, as craps, blackjack, and roulette all won fewer dollars on poor win rates.<\/p>\n

The robust play on the Strip amid economic uncertainty and record inflation<\/a> has been credited to the return of large-scale conventions and events, plus the kickoff of the NFL and college football seasons. Casino residencies and shows have also returned to full capacity and guests are filling seats.<\/p>\n

\n

This month’s [Strip] total was driven by another incredibly strong sports and entertainment calendar, which included concerts, residencies, a music festival, and three high-profile sporting events,”<\/strong> said Michael Lawton, the NGCB’s senior economic analyst.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Along with downtown Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Laughlin, Boulder, and Mesquite, Clark County GGR eclipsed the $1 billion plateau on its own. Clark County casinos collectively won $1,060,634 last month.<\/p>\n

Another Record Year<\/b><\/h2>\n

Through three quarters of 2022, Nevada and Las Vegas casinos are easily ahead of the record pace they set only a year ago. Nevada GGR in 2021 was more than $13.42 billion, which far exceeded the state’s previous banner year of $12.85 billion set in 2007.<\/p>\n

January through September, Nevada’s 312 casinos have won more than $11 billion.<\/p>\n

“We have three months left in the calendar year, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say this year is going to surpass last year,” Lawton added.<\/p>\n

\n

October is shaping up for another nice monthly revenue report. The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) held earlier this month was the first full in-person convention of the gaming industry’s marquee trade show since the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, Lawton cautions that Nevada’s gaming industry will eventually see year-over-year declines.<\/p>\n

\n

All markets are going to be facing difficult comparisons for the foreseeable future and results will be choppy from month to month, and we expect growth rates to moderate,”<\/strong> Lawton concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Visitor numbers for Southern Nevada will be released later this week by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
