Nevada casinos go record 9 months with $1B in house winnings
Nevada casinos have won $1 billion or more in house in nine straight months. The streak beat the previous record of eight consecutive months set before the Great Recession. Sports betting also set records, with $72 million in November on sports wagers totaling $ 1.1 million. Special events and entertainment helped push casino winnings for the year-to-date to almost 12% past 2019 levels. Only North Las Vegas and Laughlin are still below 2019 calendar year levels, and they collected almost $93.6 million of tax revenues.
