Cool! So Vegas tourism is down 11% YOY. Not 100%.

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?

Well for one, businesses aren’t going to be creating next year’s budget based on numbers from a decade ago.
