Nevada Gaming Control Board:” Uneven results in the coming months “
According to Michael Lawton, senior financial analyst for the regulator Nevada Gaming Control BoardThe results in the South Lake Tahoe area are astounding in that they came at a time when local communities were still recovering from the devastation of the previous year’s wildfires.
Michael Lawton also added that September 2022 had one more weekend than 2021, not to mention that the former was marked by a ” calendar of particularly strong cultural and sporting events “which saw Las Vegas host “ a wide range of concerts, music festivals and high-profile sporting events “.
However, the analyst warns, ” We expect growth rates to be more moderate. All Nevada counties are expected to post inconsistent results in the coming months, making any year-over-year comparison difficult “.
