Gross gaming revenue on the Las Vegas Strip and across most of Nevada was down year over year in February, as the same month last year had the upper hand in a variety of ways.
Las Vegas hosted Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11, 2024. The NFL title game made a typically slow month vastly busy, as Strip hotels were booked solid and gaming floors were busy with high-value players.
Last month was different. Along with not hosting the biggest sporting event in the country, February 2025 had one less day, as February 2024 was a Leap Year with 29 days.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) reports that the difficult comparable resulted in expected year-over-year gross gaming revenue declines. Statewide, GGR tumbled over 9% to $1.21 billion. Things were even worse on the Strip.
