Las Vegas has seen a dramatic decline in demand for hotel stays this summer.
Call it a blip. Blame it on the season’s scorching temperatures, the current economic landscape or the Trump administration’s policy efforts. If one thing is sure, it’s a concern.
According to the latest STR data for the week ending July 19, Las Vegas continues to play a key role in the U.S. hotel industry’s unfortunate 2025 decline.
Nationwide and year-over-year, the sector saw occupancy slip 2.6 percent to 71.6 percent while the average daily rate (ADR) dropped 0.7 percent to $165.49 and revenue per available room (RevPAR) slid 3.3 percent to $118.54.
After Houston, Texas, Las Vegas registered the second-largest drop in occupancy, according to STR data.
The city saw occupancy plummet 11.9 percent to 74.3 percent while RevPAR declined a whopping 17.1 percent to $142.62 over that same period.
Nonetheless, local tourism officials aren’t panicking, according to Travel Weekly.
Data from the U.S. International Air Travel Statistics program shows that the city has been experiencing a dramatic decline in international visitors, specifically those from a key market in Canada.
However, bookings for the remainder of 2025 remain strong and the event and group bookings that the city relies so heavily on show no signs of slowing.
Regardless, the city’s hotel and resort metrics will be worth monitoring over the second half of the year.
