Last September, Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley issued a plea to Canadian travelers as the tourism-centric city grappled with a plummet in international visitors: “As the mayor of Las Vegas, I’m telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you, we need you, and we miss you.”
In 2025, Las Vegas saw just under 1.2 million Canadian tourists compared to 2024’s 1.4 million, a 17.4% drop, according to data from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). The trend of declining visitors from up north has been reflected across the U.S.: Canadian government data indicates a 25% drop in year-over-year visits from Canadians to the U.S. in 2025.
