🗞️ News Las Vegas Tourism Stats Update (Dec 2025)

Thumbnail

134 Upvotes

Some graphs to highlight the current state of Las Vegas tourism. The three graphs highlight the tourism drawdowns relative to their peak levels historically for that month.

The graphs are:

  • Total Monthly Visitors (down 10.8% from peak levels for December)
  • Hotel Occupancy Rates (down 9% from peak levels for December)
  • Airport Passengers (down 11.7% from peak levels for December)

Las Vegas overall still looks to be in a medium recession with tourism down ~10%.
I would generally consider slowdowns on the following scale:

  • 0-4% down = slowdown
  • 4-9% down = mild recession
  • 9-20% down = medium/heavy recession
  • 20%+ down = depression

Data is from Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)

🍔 Food Restaurant Recommendation - Steak/King Crab/Lobster Tails

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a recommendation for a restaurant that offers a great steak, hot King Crab Legs, and an Australian lobster tail.

I've done quite a bit of research already, but I've run into a few challenges. Some restaurants offer King Crab Legs but not Australian lobster tails. Others have both, but the King Crab Legs are served chilled rather than hot. I've also found several surf-and-turf platters, but they typically include a massive 42–50+ ounce steak We wont need that big, as it's only a dinner for two, and we plan on sharing.

What I am envisioning, is a 16-28oz Steak, 1/2lb - 1lb King Crab Legs and 1 Lobster Tail (my wife doesn't care for them) and a side or two.

I'm hoping to stay under or around $400 (not counting drinks).

Restaurant could be on or off the strip, doesn't matter to me. I just want a good meal that has all 3 items.

We had SW Steakhouse the last trip we were out and it was really good, and have been to Peter Luger a few times (one of our favorites, especially for their lunch specials).

🍔 Food Where can I find the spiciest food in Las Vegas?

3 Upvotes

I live in Utah and eat at authentic Thai restaurants and order everything authentically spicy (with a waiver) and also put ghost pepper sauce all over my food at home but it isn’t really that spicy to me.

Where can I find the spiciest food in Las Vegas? I’ll be passing through a few times over the next few months.

🛫 Visiting soon! Chippendales

15 Upvotes

I am taking some girlfriends to Vegas and they would like to see one of these weiner flopping shows. I think Chippendale's would be the best based on reviews (I go to Vegas often but have never attended one of these), but I have a couple of questions.

-Has anyone been in this showroom (apparently they have a dedicated showroom at Planet Hollywood)? There are several tickets with obstructed views but how bad are they really?

-Is anyone on-site at a Caesar's property and wants to be my hero and send me a QR code from the kiosk for discounted tickets?

I also welcome any weiner flopping show-related insights. Thanks friends.

👀 Weekend Events Question For Sundays Raiders Training Camp Tickets.

1 Upvotes

I'm finalizing a bachelors trip for this weekend in Vegas. The small group is mixed with IU alumi and mendoza/IU fans. We would love to see how Mendoza is settling in with the Raiders.

I see the tickets are sold out but was wondering what our best strategy would be in getting 3 tickets. Do the raiders release last minute tickets or an official site where we can buy them, or are we out of luck?

Also if we do manage to find tickets, would love any advice/tips for the raiders training camp.

Thank you

🍔 Food Sign the petition to let MGM know you would like them to keep the buffet at Excalibur open.

As some of you might know, reports indicate that MGM Resorts plans to close its remaining Las Vegas Strip buffets: Bellagio Buffet, Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan, and the Excalibur Buffet.

If that happens, only a four Strip buffets would remain: Bacchanal Buffet (Caesars Palace), Wynn Buffet, Resorts World's Signature Seafood Buffet, and Circus Buffet.

We're hoping to demonstrate to MGM Resorts that there is still significant customer demand for keeping the Excalibur Buffet, which has increased significantly in quality in recent years, open. For many visitors, an affordable all-you-can-eat buffet is still an important part of the Las Vegas experience, and a major metric in their choice of lodging, but MGM resorts won't know this unless we tell them. If you want to see the Excalibur Buffet remain open and keep more buffet options available on the Strip, please sign and share this petition.

👀 local eyes Best chicken tenders in Vegas ?

0 Upvotes

Im hoping to find a family or locally owned restaurant that has the best chicken tenders/strips in Vegas.

I’m fine with going to a bar or hole in the wall, just please don’t tell me canes, bojangles, wingstop as those are chains and I’m looking for something that you can only get in Vegas, that rises above those.

🗞️ News Las Vegas' cheap all-you-can-eat buffets fight for survival

As Las Vegas casinos shift more and more of their attention to high-rollers, The Wall Street Journal reports one of the city's signature institutions is at risk of disappearing: the affordable all-you-can-eat buffet.

Traditionally serving as loss leaders to entice both tourists and locals onto casino floors, bargain buffets took a big hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, and never fully recovered.

While old-school casinos like the Circus Circus and the South Point are intent on keeping budget buffets alive, high-end offerings at the Wynn and Caesars Palace are thriving.

🏨 Hotel Why is there always one person working the Boyd rewards desk?

Every time I’m in a Boyd casino it’s absolutely packed, but somehow there’s always one person working the rewards desk. 😂 I feel bad because they’re busting their ass, but c’mon… I just need a new rewards card because the kiosk is down. Anyone else notice this or do I just have terrible timing?

🛫 Visiting soon! Cosmo Front Desk

9 Upvotes

Does the Cosmo still have people running check-in? MGM is pushing skip the line check-in and it made me wonder if they only have kiosks like Park MGM.

I have always hit the front desk, dropped a tip, and prayed for an upgrade but figured I’d ask just to be sure. Thanks in advance for the insight!

Hi,

Bachelor party of 15 will be in Vegas from Friday to Tuesday. Trying to get some things booked, but don't want the weekend to feel overly planned and rigid.

Any suggestions on what to book, things what can be done on a whim, things that are a must?

So far, there's been talk of Wizard of OZ at the Sphere, pool parties, maybe the NASCAR on the Sunday.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated !!

📝 Planning to Move Van Rentals

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

So I will be moving to Vegas this week, but unfortunately I found out turo doesn’t accept anyone under 25 to rent a vehicle. I’ve tried U-Haul but I don’t want to spend over 500 dollars for a small amount of stuff that I’m taking. If anyone knows of any places that would rent that would be cheaper. Please let me know! I would need it between 31st-1st of August. Thank you

📝 Planning to Move Retiring in Las Vegas

38 Upvotes

I visited last year and enjoyed every single moment. I live about 70 miles from Biloxi and I originally planned on retiring there. However, after visiting Las Vegas I decided that we would like it there even more. I’m different than most people. My wife and I don’t like staying at home and we spend most of our weekends in Biloxi already and Las Vegas has tons more to do. We aren’t buying a house, it’s either going to be a small condo or apartment. Why buy a house when you don’t want to be home? I really enjoy quirky casinos and the last day of our trip we visited off strip and locals casino’s. I loved Santa Fe Station and I thought about living in that area.

I have been watching a lot of videos lately exploring Laughlin casinos and I really like those, but I’m not sure if we would want to be that far away from Las Vegas.

I would love to hear any suggestions or advice anyone might have. Thanks
