So Canadians are avoiding US travel destinations beacuse their government has issued a travel advisory about coming to the US due to the tariff war. I thought travel advisories were for dangerous things like storms, terror attacks, diseases, etc...Seems like Canada government is using their citizens as pawns.
Many are avoiding Vegas. I'm part of a few Vegas groups and many Canadians have mentioned they are skipping a trip to Vegas. Unknown how many are legit or just spreading propoganda. But Vegas international travel this month is down about 20% so far. They didn't release how much is from Canada only vs other countries.
This is sort of good news for the long term. Vegas has become very unaffordable for the middle income and below. With less visitors, the immediate loss is employment. But the long term is the hope that prices will fall due to trying to cater toward the OG vegas tourist market, which was every income.
I talk to people who work in Vegas and they still haven't recovered since precovid days. The days of making on a slow night for bartender tips of $400 are gone. Now an average night in tips is $75. This is even during F1. Vegas does show profits, but it's due to the gambling. Whales are still coming and losing big. But other income makers like bars, restaurants, retail are all down still.
