(Las Vegas).- Nevada casinos posted strong results in May, with statewide gaming revenue climbing 7.4% year-over-year to $1.39 billion, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The Las Vegas Strip led the surge, generating $807.9 million — a 13.2% increase and the corridor’s eighth-highest monthly total on record.
Strong May for casinos
Nevada’s casinos turned in a strong May, with statewide gaming win rising to $1.39 billion, a 7.43% increase from a year earlier, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The Las Vegas Strip accounted for most of that growth, posting $807.9 million in gaming win — the eighth-highest monthly total in the corridor’s history — and a 13.19% increase over May 2025.
Gaming win
“Gaming win” is the amount casinos keep after paying out prizes to gamblers, and it is the standard measure regulators use to track casino revenue. The release also reported that statewide gaming win for the fiscal year running from July 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, was up 2.76% to $14.7 billion.
Elsewhere in Clark County, results were mixed, according to a monthly news release Monday from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Downtown Las Vegas fell 4.16% to $63.9 million, Laughlin dropped 5.18% to $41 million and the balance of Clark County, which includes locals-oriented properties, declined 5.63% to $164.4 million. Boulder Strip rose 3.51% to $80.5 million, North Las Vegas increased 1.95% to $26.8 million and Mesquite gained 2.33% to $18.3 million.
Washoe County reported an 8.34% increase to $98.2 million, led by Reno’s 11.07% rise to $70.5 million. South Lake Tahoe posted the month’s biggest percentage gain in the state, climbing 23.49% to $16.7 million, while Elko County increased 4.52% to $37.6 million.
The state also collected $89.5 million in percentage fees in June, based on May’s taxable gaming revenue, up 19.07% from $75.2 million a year earlier. Percentage fee collections are the state taxes casinos pay on taxable gaming revenue; the board said the June totals do not include $7.5 million in transferable tax credits taken fiscal-year-to-date and remain subject to revision.
