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.

Nevada gaming and Las Vegas at a glance
$15.6 billion
Nevada gaming win
Nonrestricted gaming licensees reported this statewide total for calendar year 2024. In Nevada reporting, gaming win means the amount retained by the house after wagers are paid out, not the amount visitors wagered.
Nevada Gaming Control Board, 2024 calendar-year revenue report
$13.7 billion
Clark County gaming revenue
The county that includes Las Vegas, downtown, the Strip, Laughlin, and other markets accounted for this total in 2025.
$8.8 billion
Las Vegas Strip gaming revenue
The Strip’s 2025 total shows why it remains the state’s most closely watched casino market, while still representing only part of Nevada’s wider gaming story.
$952.2 million
Downtown Las Vegas gaming revenue
Downtown Las Vegas reported this 2025 total, a useful reminder that the original casino district remains a substantial market in its own right.
38.5 million
Las Vegas visitors
Las Vegas welcomed 38,545,700 visitors in 2025. The figure covers visitation to the Las Vegas area, rather than casino guests alone.
150,300
Las Vegas hotel rooms
The Las Vegas area’s 2025 room inventory was 150,300, with 44,019,400 room nights occupied during the year.
90,182
Slot machines in Clark County
LVCVA’s 2025 reference count places the region’s slot-machine base in context with its casino revenue and resort scale.
6.0 million
Convention attendees
Las Vegas reported 6.0 million convention attendees in 2025, showing the importance of meetings and trade shows alongside leisure travel.
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.
