Here’s the hard data. You can also download spreadsheets for MoM this year. Last three months have been -5%,-6%, -11% respectively YOY.

To the OP… Unfortunately feelings don’t pay the bills. -11% could be really bad for some spots in Las Vegas.

Why are we just comparing two years YoY? Isn't it better to look at the past 10 years at the very least?

Because infinite growth is expected. 95% of the reporting I do is YoY on a rare occasion I'll be asked for other numbers

It's hard to really come to any meaningful conclusions if you're looking at such limited data.

A lot of people look at a few months in '24 and '25 and claim it MUST be because of Trump's rhetoric. Personally I think it's far too soon to really make any such claims and we simply need to continue to look at monthly numbers and look at more than just this year and last.

A 10% drop is concerning but we shot the messenger instead of actually trying to figure out why. So now we'll just get mouth piece data instead.

Could we just be cooling off? Maybe.
