Hopefully we agree Vegas exists because of tourism dollars.
Vegas does not exist without the gambling, the glitter. Countless small businesses exist because of this economy.

A corporations sole purpose is a return on investment.
When numbers decline (tourism) so does ROI.
Price increases are only the beginning

How to explain a decline in tourism, ROI, and local business failures?
You better identify this problem.

Hint hint don't read truth social

Hard to imagine financiers of multi million projects, such as hotels and casinos just got their numbers wrong. These are long term investments projected to profit based on current trends. No offer presented would include the thought that the main source of income/returns would suddenly shrivel

Covid of course was just such an unpredictable factor in revenue stream. They withstood that.
The latest hit to the income stream, a decline of customers, is no different except it was 100% avoidable.
