Nevada Gaming Control Board reports Las Vegas Strip revenue of $693.5m in September

Gaming revenue on the Las Vegas Strip reached $693.5m in September, a 0.8% increase on September 2025, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The board reported that slot revenue was $452.6m, while table games and sports betting revenue fell 3% to $240.9m. Statewide gaming revenue was flat at $1.28bn.

The board said the Strip's slot hold rate was 8.23%, up from 8.04% a year earlier. Barry Jonas of Truist Securities said table game bets were down 5%, with strong hold limiting the effect. Blackjack win fell 6% to $94m and craps revenue dropped 25% to $32.6m, while 3-Card Poker, mini-baccarat, bingo, Let It Ride and Pai Gow Poker were also lower. Baccarat revenue rose 12% to $58.6m and roulette revenue increased 20% to $33.6m.

Jonas said September benefited from the timing of the Labor Day holiday weekend. In 2025 Labor Day fell on Monday 1 September, placing the main holiday hotel nights in August, while in 2026 it fell on Monday 7 September, with the holiday weekend entirely in September, he said.

September was the state's 67th consecutive month with gaming revenue above $1bn, a run that began in March 2021, according to the board. The previous record was eight months, from October 2006 to May 2007.

According to the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority, September drew close to 3.1 million visitors, a flat result year on year, and convention attendance climbed 1.8% to roughly 436,200. Strip resort rooms cost almost 11% less at $185, while downtown casino hotel rates dropped 3% to $96. Occupancy across Las Vegas stood at 78.1%, and weekend occupancy reached 89.8%. Strip hotels recorded revenue per available room of $139.51, a decline of almost 7%. The LVCVA said visitor volume for the year to September was 0.1% below 2025.
