Trump gives Canadians his middle finger; Vegas casinos chop it off

In 2024, approximately 1.4 million Canadians traveled to Las Vegas, marking a significant increase from previous years. However, this number has seen a decline in 2025, with predictions of a potential drop of 280,000 visitors

 

This works out to less than 6,000 people per day or about 1 night at the MGM.

Not following your math, could you elaborate?

It's Tom-math, so small wonder you can't follow it.

 

A drop of 280,000 visitors for 2025 is 767 per day. So, far smaller than the silly point he was trying to make.

 

However, his silly point that it's insignificant is ridiculous. A 20% drop in visitation (1.4 M / 280,000) is a major indicator. If Vegas visitation overall dropped by 20%, all the casinos would go broke. And quickly.

 

That said, I'm more concerned about several hundred thousand of our former Canadian friends hating us than its effect on casino profits.

It's partisan statistics.  Hell, the drop in Canadian visitation is less than 1/2000 of the world population!

280,000 less per year divide by 52 weeks and you get 5,384 per week or take it 1 step further 769 per day

You had it right at 5385 per week since that's the typical amount of time a visitor books a vacation for.    So at any given time that's how many visitors were missing last year.    And that's just from Canada.     I suspect the numbers are also down from other countries Trump insulted for the same reason.

 

feel free to ask casino managers if they think it's no big deal.    I think I know the answer.

How are actual statistics "partisan"? Tom-stats as well as MAGA stats are definitely that.

Of course. Our resident Trump apologists are telling us it doesn't matter. It matters if ONE Canadian doesn't visit because Trump insulted and bullied their country.

 

Our MAGAs are treating this as a financial issue so they can belittle it. They don't have the balls to treat it as what it most importantly is: a moral issue.

The funny thing is I remember the FOX News junkies shitting their pants during the Obama administration because he said this:  ""You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college"

 

Obama hates Vegas !  Obama is telling people how to spend money!   Waa!

 

Good times.  

 

 

 

 

 

Obama tanked the casino stocks.  We bought low and made some money.    With the gambling numbers still good, it seems like the only thing hurting here is the Canadiian's feelings  I am hoping they  choose to stay away and we get better deals
