Las Vegas Tourism Sinks 11% in June as Immigration Enforcement Rattles Industry

Linked to fears over immigration enforcement, the tourism slump risks deeper staffing cuts in Nevada’s hospitality sector.

Overview

  • Official figures show overall visitation fell 11.3% year-over-year in June 2025, with international arrivals down 13%, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
  • Flair Airlines reported a 55% drop in Canadian passengers to Las Vegas, while Air Canada saw a 13.2% decline from May to June and a one-third year-over-year decrease.
  • Culinary Workers Union Local 226 leaders and immigrant staff link the downturn to heightened anxiety over DACA and TPS revocations deterring visitors.
  • Hospitality workers, including housekeepers at major resorts, report widespread layoffs and sharply reduced on-call shifts as hotels adjust to sagging demand.
  • The administration denies imposing daily ICE arrest quotas but has continued revocations and delays of immigration statuses, prompting unions to warn of ongoing economic fallout.
