Nevada gaming win figures stabilized in February following a January decline analysts characterized as down due to a tough comparison from a year earlier.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board on Thursday reported a 1.5 percent increase in gaming win, revenue the state’s 443 major casinos won from players, to $1.24 billion. Clark County and Strip win was flat compared with February 2025, but downtown Las Vegas figures were off 4.2 percent to $69.8 million.
Clark County’s two rural communities were on opposite extremes of the spectrum with Laughlin revenue down 8.8 percent to $38.5 million, but Mesquite up 5.2 percent to $17.4 million.
Statewide, revenue from outlying Elko County soared 20.2 percent while North Lake Tahoe plunged 21.3 percent from a year ago.
After eight months of statewide win in the 2025-26 fiscal year, totals are close to even with the previous fiscal year at $10.6 billion compared with $10.5 billion a year ago.
Win in Clark County and the Strip for the year to date is about even with the previous year, but win from downtown Las Vegas is up 1.7 percent. Mesquite is showing the largest year-over-year increase for the year, up 9.1 percent.
Collections from Nevada’s 6.75 percent gaming tax are up 1.6 percent to $775.8 million after January collections hit the highest number of the fiscal year last month.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is expected to release February visitation statistics later Thursday.
