The Las Vegas Strip brought in $692 million, a 3.12% decrease from last year. Clark County, which includes the Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, the Boulder Strip, and surrounding areas, brought in $1.11 billion, a 2.15% decrease.

The Nevada Gaming Commission is set to decide in December whether to allow the use of betting accounts for non-gaming purchases at casinos, such as food, retail items and other expenses.
The accounts are currently limited to gaming transactions, but operators and the Nevada Gaming Control Board have recommended the change as a step toward modernizing the state’s gambling regulations.
