Nevada Gaming Statistics: Casino Revenue, Visitors, and Las Vegas

Nevada gaming is easiest to misunderstand when its numbers are pulled apart from their reporting periods. This reference keeps the figures together: statewide gaming win from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and visitor, room, and Clark County figures from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Every number below names its reporting year and links to the public source behind it.

Why the reporting dates matter

These figures should not be treated as interchangeable. The statewide total is reported by the Nevada Gaming Control Board for calendar year 2024. The Las Vegas and Clark County figures are reported by the LVCVA for 2025. They describe related parts of the same economy, but they are not the same measure and they do not cover the same geography.

That distinction is especially important for historians. The Strip is Nevada’s most famous casino corridor, but the state’s gaming story also includes downtown Las Vegas, Reno, Lake Tahoe, Laughlin, Carson City, and smaller towns. Explore the archive’s Nevada casino history by region for the places and people behind those numbers.

Methodology and sources

All figures on this page come from public agencies or their published research. The Nevada Gaming Control Board compiles gaming revenue reports from nonrestricted licensees. Its annual Gaming Abstract examines licensees producing at least $1 million in gaming revenue during the July through June fiscal year, while its revenue reports provide calendar-year and rolling totals for nonrestricted gaming activity.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority compiles the visitor, convention, room, occupancy, and local gaming figures used here. Its Research Center publishes annual figures and historical tourism data. For the precise definitions and any later revisions, use the original reports linked beside each statistic.

Frequently asked questions

What does gaming win mean?

Gaming win is the amount retained by a casino after it pays winning wagers. It is not the total amount visitors bet or the casino’s total revenue from rooms, food, entertainment, and other operations.

Why are some figures from 2024 and others from 2025?

Public agencies publish different measures on different schedules. This page gives the reporting year beside every figure and does not combine those reporting periods into a new estimate.

Does the Las Vegas Strip represent all Nevada gaming?

No. The Strip is the state’s largest and most visible casino market, but Nevada gaming also includes downtown Las Vegas, Reno, Lake Tahoe, Laughlin, Carson City, and many smaller communities.

Keep exploring the record.
