Las Vegas Is Counting The Cost Of Losing Canadians And One Business Owner Is Done Waiting

“A Las Vegas business owner on Fremont Street just went on record saying he’s down 50% in customers. Not a slow quarter, not a bad week — half his business, gone. And the reason keeps coming up in every conversation about American tourism right now: Canadians stopped showing up. We’re talking about a 17.4% drop in Canadian visits to Las Vegas last year. That’s not a blip — that’s a shift. And it’s being felt directly by the people running shops, restaurants, and attractions that built their entire business model around a cross-border customer base that trusted the relationship. But here’s where the story gets interesting. While Las Vegas is counting the cost, Montreal is quietly getting ready for what could be its best summer on record. Tourism Montréal is calling it. Hotels are booking up. The same Canadians who used to book flights south are now planning weekends north — and the economic ripple of that decision is starting to show up in real numbers on both sides of the border. e-7146 (Foreign affairs) ourcommons.ca Petition https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7146 e-7319 (Foreign affairs) https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7319 e-7340 (Foreign affairs) https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7340 Las Vegas visits from Canada dropped 17.4% last year as Strip tourism struggled Montreal braces for a summer tourism boost Fans ready to cheer on the Habs in Round 2 of the NHL playoffs Guard The Leaf Social Links: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/guardtheleaf.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GuardTheLeaf Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GuardTheLeaf/ The Enemy From Within X Guard The Leaf Discord Server Discord: https://discord.gg/MuCCQnUQ7u Join The Canadian Made Social Media Platform hey.cafe https://hey.cafe/r/guardtheleaf 00:00 Intro 01:13 Las Vegas Business Down Over 50% 07:37 Montreal Braces For Record Tourism Year 12:10 Montreal Canadiens Become Canada’s Team 14:53 GTL Community Photo 15:11 Canada Petition Reminder”
