Nevada casinos generated $1.39 billion in gaming win during July, making it the eighth-highest monthly result in the state’s history. Preliminary figures from the Nevada Gaming Control Board put the statewide total at $1,387,795,619, representing a 2.1% increase from July 2025.

The Las Vegas Strip accounted for $776.3 million of the total after revenue increased 3.6% year over year. Clark County, which includes the Strip, generated $1.17 billion, up 1.5%.

July’s result also extended Nevada’s run of monthly gaming revenue above the $1 billion mark. The state has recorded at least $1 billion in gaming win for 65 consecutive months. Through the first seven months of 2026, statewide revenue was 3.0% ahead of the same period in 2025, while the Strip was up 3.3%.

As reported by KLAS, Shelley Newell, senior economic analyst for the Gaming Control Board, said, “Nevada continued to record gaming win amounts in excess of pre-pandemic levels this month,” according to the figures. “Statewide total win was 35.4% OR $362.7 million over July 2019. July 2026 represents the 65th consecutive month that the State has recorded $1.0 billion in monthly gaming win.”

The month also contained one more weekend day than July 2025, which provided an additional factor supporting the year-over-year increase.

Strip Table Games Lift July Revenue

The Strip’s performance received significant support from table games and slots. Table-game revenue reached $340.8 million, an increase of 6.2% from the previous year.

Baccarat produced $116.6 million, up 2.3%. The game represented almost half of all Strip table-game revenue during the month. Blackjack recorded an especially strong increase, climbing 38.8% to $87.6 million.

Slot revenue reached $435.5 million after increasing 1.7%.

The Strip’s growth helped offset declines elsewhere in Clark County. Downtown Las Vegas recorded $68.5 million, down 8.6%, while the Boulder Strip fell 2.5% to $82.7 million. The balance of Clark County declined 1.2% to $164 million.

North Las Vegas moved higher, with gaming win rising 3.4% to $25.5 million. Laughlin remained largely unchanged at $41 million, up 0.1%, while Mesquite declined 0.5% to $15.1 million.

Las Vegas also benefited from higher visitor numbers during July. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported 3.2 million visitors, an increase of 2.7% compared with the same month a year earlier. Overall hotel occupancy reached 77.2%, up 1.1%, while weekend occupancy increased 0.4% to 89.1%.

The 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event was held at the Horseshoe and Paris during the month. The series recorded 251,899 entries, its highest total ever, and produced almost $470 million in payouts, the second-highest amount in its history. The Gaming Control Board does not separately report poker revenue in its monthly figures.

Las Vegas also hosted several other major events in July, including Independence Day celebrations, UFC 329, the NBA Summer League and major concert performances.

Regional Markets Post Mixed Results

Gaming activity outside Clark County generally improved during July, although some markets recorded declines.

Reno generated $76.9 million, an increase of 1.0%. Sparks performed more strongly, with revenue rising 9.5% to $17.1 million. South Lake Tahoe recorded $39.6 million, up 5.1%.

North Lake Tahoe was the only area in the region to report a decline, with revenue falling 5.7% to $2.9 million.

Elko County posted one of the largest increases across the state. Revenue climbed 13.5% to $36.8 million. The Carson Valley area also moved higher, recording a 1.1% increase to $12.5 million.

Nevada’s July results followed a record-setting June for the state’s casino industry. August generally produces slower gaming activity, making July’s performance particularly significant within the summer period.

The Gaming Control Board defines gaming win as players’ stakes minus winnings paid out. The July figures remain preliminary and could be revised.

State tax collections also reflected the July activity. Through August 21, Nevada had collected $98,464,433 in percentage fees based on taxable revenue generated during the month.

The latest figures show that casino revenue remained above pre-pandemic levels even as Las Vegas continues to monitor changes in visitation. July’s increase in visitors coincided with stronger Strip revenue and helped the state produce one of its strongest monthly gaming results on record.
