Casinos Are Going EXTINCT. Las Vegas Is Tearing Them Down.
“The casino floor built Las Vegas. Now the people who own Las Vegas are taking it apart one row at a time. In 1984, 59 cents of every dollar on the Las Vegas Strip came from gambling. Today it’s about 26 cents. Nevada has lost roughly 50,000 slot machines since 2001. The Strip once had around 70 buffets, the bait that pulled you onto the casino floor, and about six are left. In the state’s latest report on the 51 biggest Strip casinos, their combined profit fell 81 percent in a single year. The owners have read those numbers. The biggest casino company on the Strip calls its next project the largest integrated resort in the world, and it’s in Japan. Another name that’s been in lights on the Strip for decades is spending $5 billion on a casino tower near Dubai. The family that built the Venetian sold every casino it owned in Las Vegas and is now lobbying Texas. Meanwhile, the loyal customers who kept this city alive for decades are getting squeezed harder than ever. And the generation that was supposed to take their seats won’t sit down at a slot machine. This is how Las Vegas decided the casino has no future. And it’s what that decision means for you. Las Vegas Confessions #LasVegas2026 #LasVegasStrip #Casinos”
