Only Eight Poker Rooms Remain on the Las Vegas Strip as Visitor Numbers Slide
Poker rooms on the Las Vegas Strip keep closing, Fox News Digital reported Nov. 11. The most recent, at Resorts World, shut on March 30, leaving just eight poker rooms on the Strip. Las Vegas hosted about 38.5 million visitors in 2025, down 7.5 percent from 2024, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Strip gaming revenue in January 2026 was $747.7 million, down from $840.1 million in January 2025, per the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
'Pawn Stars' host Rick Harrison said gambling itself is not dying, but the draw of in-person play is being tested. Analysts point to fewer visitors and changing habits squeezing poker rooms in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada.
