One Vegas casino is closing its poker room as travel to Sin City continues to dip
Resorts World Las Vegas is closing its poker room on March 30th due to a decline in tourism to Las Vegas.Summary
Resorts World Las Vegas will close its poker room on March 30th, citing a decline in travel to Las Vegas and plans to introduce new gaming options. This closure leaves only eight poker rooms remaining on the Las Vegas Strip, following the recent shutdown of Planet Hollywood’s poker room. Las Vegas tourism decreased by 7.5 percent in 2024, reaching 38.5 million visitors, attributed to economic concerns and international travel considerations. The decline extends beyond overall visitor numbers, with fewer casino visits and a decrease in the number of weddings performed in Clark County. Despite these challenges, Las Vegas remains optimistic about future tourism growth, anticipating boosts from events like the Las Vegas Grand Prix, UFC International Fight Week, the 2026 World Cup, and America’s 250th anniversary.
