Las Vegas Strip casinos win less, despite better luck at baccarat tables
April, typically one of the slower months for Nevada casinos, brought more declines as the state reported winnings on the Las Vegas Strip down nearly 3% compared to April of last year.
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — April, typically one of the slower months for Nevada casinos, brought more declines as the state reported winnings on the Las Vegas Strip down nearly 3% compared to April of last year.
And it could have been much worse if not for a big bump at the baccarat tables, where players lost more than $108 million for the month. Casinos benefited from this, as the win jumped by about 48% compared to March and 41% compared to April 2024.
“We also saw that Baccarat volume totaled $573.8 million and was up 17.0% or $112.4 million for the Strip,” according to Shelley Newell, senior economic analyst for the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB).
