LAS VEGAS – Nevada’s nonrestricted casinos won $1.39 billion in July, a 2.07% increase over July 2025, but the gain came almost entirely from the Las Vegas Strip, whose 3.64% rise offset declines across most of the rest of Clark County, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s monthly win and tax release.
The Strip Pulls Away From The Rest Of Clark County
July’s gain in the country’s largest state market for USA gambling sites depended on a single stretch of casinos. The Strip alone accounted for $776,338,593 of Nevada’s July win, up from $749,080,582 a year earlier. Clark County as a whole (the Strip plus Downtown, North Las Vegas, Laughlin, the Boulder Strip, Mesquite and the balance of the county) won $1,173,130,586, up only 1.51%.
Subtracting the Strip’s total from the county’s leaves the rest of Clark County at roughly $396.8 million, down about 2.4% from the same period last year. The county’s headline number rose only because the Strip’s gain was large enough to absorb declines in Downtown Las Vegas, the Boulder Strip, Mesquite and the unincorporated balance of the county.
Downtown And Boulder Strip Lose Ground
Downtown Las Vegas won $68,468,139, down 8.64% from a year earlier. The Boulder Strip won $82,670,748, down 2.48%. Mesquite slipped 0.46% to $15,080,273, and the balance of Clark County outside those named areas won $164,046,950, down 1.20%. North Las Vegas, up 3.38% to $25,490,477, and Laughlin, up 0.11%, were the only other Clark County markets to gain.
Sparks And Wendover Lead Northern Nevada Growth
Washoe County’s casinos won $105,770,006, up 2.91% overall, but growth inside the county was uneven. Reno won $76,882,981, up just 0.99%, while Sparks won $17,174,809, up 9.45%. The state’s fastest growth came from Elko County, where the win rose 13.45% to $36,817,909, led by Wendover’s 15.11% gain.
Sports Wagering And The State’s Cut
Nevada’s sports pools won $37,964,000 statewide, up 0.65%, on a hold of 7.84%, according to the board’s full monthly revenue report. Mobile bets placed through Nevada online sportsbooks accounted for $37,302,000 of that, up 23.04%, at a 10.60% hold for the month. That is well above the 7.69% hold operators have posted over the past 12 months, meaning bettors as a group gave back a larger share of what they wagered in July than they have over the past year.
The state collected $98,464,433 in percentage fee taxes in August, based on July’s taxable revenue, up 3.44% from $95,192,220 a year earlier. Fiscal year-to-date collections stand at $184,218,484, up 0.68% from the same point in the prior fiscal year. The board’s August figures are due for release in late September.
