CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Nevada casinos won less than $873 million from gamblers in July, a 12.5 percent drop from the same month last year and the 19th straight month of year-over-year declines, the state Gaming Control Board reported Thursday.
In some areas of the state, July's casino win is the smallest reported in more than two decades, stark evidence that the recession is far from over for Nevada's tourism-dependent economy as gamblers keep money in their pockets.
"People who are coming in aren't spending as much," said Frank Streshley, Gaming Control Board analyst.
"In all aspects of the economy, people are holding on to their money," he said. "Those who do have disposable income, they're not spending at the levels they were in the last several years."
