July proved to be the golden month for Las Vegas.
According to a report published by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, an astounding $794 million in gambling revenue was collected from casinos on The Strip last month - the biggest all-time win total for the state so far this year. July showed a relevant 46% increase compared to the pre-pandemic revenue in July 2019.

The restrictions because of Covid 19 mattered too much, and now people have taken revenge for their lost time and played more than in other years. This is very good and people are not afraid of a financial crisis. This is wonderful.

Little by little everything is returning to normal, I think it is a big step that is being made with these results that are encouraging for any casino, since at the beginning it was thought that this was going to end, to continue with great strength and faith.

little by little the economy of some countries is being solved, it is not easy to return to the previous results, but these casinos will already be billing very good, since little by little they are being vaccinated to immunize the population, so in this way the casinos are having the expected results.

Good news for businesses there. I am very happy to read that the Cirque du Soleil is back; I was not aware of his return. But do not get used to the months continuing to improve, because there may be many factors that complicate things, such as the new variant of coronavirus.

big difference then it was before few months ago is that in america they allow people to come everywhere without restrictions,like on football games,so they allow also people to come in casino and to spend money!when you know that is summer,that people want to enjoy,you can imagine how much money they will spend in las vegas!

''It was a perfect storm ......then Delta came .... '' And it was such a nice article to read ,up to that point , an optimistic article for gambling in Las Vegas and Nevada , then the '' Delta variant cases '' , I think hmmmm ,that point should have been out of the article

Why you said so? I think it's okay for them to mention that. Failure to do so would risk the appearance of a new wave of infected with the new variant. The US in terms of the pandemic is quite impressive. They are only now about to enable access to the Public at sporting events, and they have done it there for a long time. Although casinos are open, they are not as is the case in that country. Pretty advanced

Yes , I was referring to the end of the article , when suddenly from a optimistic article for Nevada casinos' revenues , it took a 180* turn to virus depression and ''delta '' pessimistic forecasts .
I hear about some counties uplifting COVID measures (Denmark) , in other things are far better . God bless them , hopefully this measures' uplifting will not be discontinued due to beta , gamma , delta , epsilon (lol) or whatever other virus variant , so as for businesses like casinos and the small normal ones to get back to their feet , one and a half year later many people struggle to survive , find a job , etc .
Maybe one day after this crisis a survey will show the real implications of this irus crisis to people's lives and financial status , how many got poorer , how many lost their mind , how many survived this systemic shock ;; and how many not , maybe add them to the total vicctims of this virus crisis ... The sooner we forget about this crisis the better . We have vacine . Governments , if it was so urgent they could make vaccination (and other measures earlier ))mandatory and we would end with virus in one month . They do not take it 100% seriously from the beginning of this crisis , that is what troubles me from Day-1 , makes me suspicious .
This ''crisis'' made me do some study , about crises in human history ,like WW1 , WW2 , other wars or financial crises or virus pandemics during 20th century and earlier . They follow a time and a general pattern .........
Anyway , delta , epsilon , let's get over with it and move on . With this virus crisis , I really appreciated the ''normal'' systemic crisis (financial depression-recession) , I really have no problem with these nowadays , ready for the next endurance test , bring it on b**** !!!

That they use the pandemic to generate some panic in people is not surprising at all. I don't know how it is in your country. In mine, the government's intention is to end once and for all and everyone is urged to get vaccinated. unfortunately there are people who do not want to do it, and cannot be forced to do so. many of them simply refuse because they are not supporters of that political party. it's all politics sadly.

these numbers of profits of the casinos make that this is getting back to normal, it is not easy to sustain a business of this caliber in this state of emergency, but they are really encouraging numbers for everyone.
