Okay final draft: The truth is more complicated than that. Apparently the visitation rates are still the same. It’s the gaming revenue that’s down. Which you can see down here here. Which makes sense I suppose. So apparently people are still visiting Vegas they’re just not gambling as much any more (or people have just gotten more and more lucky over the years 🙃).
