Big June caps off 3rd year of record casino wins in Nevada and on the Las Vegas Strip
LAS VEGAS – As the summer heat continues to scorch the desert landscape, the casinos in Nevada are feeling the heat in a different way. June has proven to be yet another record-breaking month for casino wins, marking the third consecutive year of growth in the industry.
According to data released by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, casinos in the state reported a total gaming win of $1.36 billion in June, a 12.2% increase compared to the same month last year. This marks the highest monthly casino win in the state’s history, surpassing the previous record set in May of this year.
The Las Vegas Strip, known for its iconic casinos and extravagant entertainment, also saw a significant boost in gaming revenue. The Strip reported a total gaming win of $1.03 billion in June, a 14% increase compared to the same month last year. This marks the third consecutive month of growth for the Strip, setting a new record for the highest monthly gaming win in its history.
Industry experts attribute the impressive results to a combination of factors, including the reopening of casinos at full capacity, pent-up demand from travelers eager to return to Las Vegas, and increased spending by high-rollers. The robust performance of the gaming industry in Nevada indicates a strong recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are thrilled to see such strong numbers coming out of Nevada’s casinos, especially on the Las Vegas Strip,” said John Moran, a spokesperson for the Nevada Gaming Control Board. “The gaming industry in our state has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of unprecedented challenges, and we are confident that this growth trend will continue in the coming months.”
As the summer season continues and tourists flock to Las Vegas for vacations and entertainment, the gaming industry is expected to see continued growth in the months ahead. With new resorts and attractions opening on the Strip, including the highly anticipated debut of the Circa Resort & Casino, the future of the gaming industry in Nevada looks brighter than ever.
For now, casino operators and industry insiders are celebrating the record-breaking performance of June, which caps off a remarkable third year of growth in casino wins in Nevada and on the Las Vegas Strip. As the slot machines continue to ding and the cards continue to shuffle, the casinos in the Silver State are poised for a successful and prosperous future.
