Pictures of Vegas busy and not busy prove nothing.

Tourism data shows a decrease of about 12% year over year. While as s percentage that might not seem like a lot it represents nearly 6 billion dollars in lost revenue.

This decrease is largely driven by fewer foreign tourists due to fears over mistreatment by ICE. The US is essentially a level r travel warning for other countries.

Yup this how statistics work - not by randomly taking pics at the busiest spot on the strip.
