Trump CHAOS Triggers Decline of Las Vegas - How The Las Vegas Trump SLUMP is Destroying The Economy of a State That Returned Him to Power
The Slump in Sin Citys Tourism Industry Raises Fears Over The Health of Americas Economy The Guardian 16 AUG 2025 Las Vegas EMPTY Streets ![]() ![]() ![]() With the Bellagio Fountains switched off, the sidewalk in front of the man made lake in Las Vegas was empty. The fountains closed three days earlier. Las Vegas is hurting as tourism drops. Are Canadians behind the Sin City slump & fewer Californians are visiting Sin City Las Vegas is feeling the sting of a Trump slump, as workers and union leaders say Donald Trumps aggressive immigration policies are scaring off international tourists and triggering job losses across the citys vital hospitality sector Data from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority show an 11.3 percent decrease in overall visitors to the city in June 2025 compared to the same month last year. International tourism fell even more sharply, down 13 percent a trend industry workers say is driven in part by fears surrounding Trumps immigration policy. A lot of departments are having a lot of layoffs, Norma Torres, a housekeeper at Mandalay Bay for eight years and a member of the Culinary Union told the Guardian. In the housekeeping department, the people on call are barely called into work. Canada, Nevadas largest international tourism source, has seen a steep drop in travel to Las Vegas. Flair Airlines reported a 55 percent decrease in passengers compared to the previous year, while Air Canada experienced a 13.2 percent decline from May to June 2025 and a 33 percent drop compared to last year. Ted Pappageorge, secretary treasurer of Culinary Workers Union Local 226, told The Guardian; If you tell the rest of the world you're not welcome, they are going to listen. Our members are telling us that they're quite nervous, and thats why they're calling it a Trump slump Pappageorge also pointed to multiple factors compounding the tourism slowdown; ICE operations, trade disputes, and economic instability tied to tariffs. You have Canadians that have said, We're going to go elsewhere. Some of our best customers are Mexican tourists. But the biggest one is southern California and visitation is down because they're nervous about raids, the tariffs, the economy riled up, he said. ![]() ![]() ICE detained an INNOCENT British tourist student and it took weeks for her parents in the UK to get her free The BRUTAL actions of ICE are causing the most deterrent and biggest FEAR as they have already detained innocent tourists from various countries
