Global Market Advisors Brendan Bussmann told a newspaper that the next critical step for casinos in Las Vegas is the resumption of meetings and convections. Wall Street Journal reported that Las Vegas Strip casinos made most of the money from convections, hotel amenities, entertainment, and food than from gambling since 1999.

In Northern Nevada, casinos are doing pretty good economically in the Southern state. The diversification approach of marketing has helped during the pandemic downturn. The tourism officials say nongaming attractions, including snow skiing at Lake Tahoe, have been crucial during the pandemic. Northern Nevada also experienced casino closure, including Lakeside Inn and Casino in Stateline.
