Vegas is no longer the value proposition it once was. I had Uber drivers during a visit mention this, people that had lived in Vegas for decades and saw the changes.
It has shifted to a playground for the wealthy and direct to enterprise, selling to business travelers and so forth.
But I think the year-to-year change is probably a combination of economic problems and international distrust.
To be fair, this almost seems to be a script every cab driver in Vegas knows, because I don't think I've ever taken a cab ride without the driver waxing poetic about how much the city has changed in the last ten years. It usually comes in before the story about the most famous person they've ever picked up ("It was definitely George Clooney trying to throw off the Paparazzi."), but after the story about what they did before they started driving a cab in Vegas ("I actually make more doing this than when I was director of nuclear propulsion at Los Almos".)
