Nevada casinos reported their strongest April gaming revenue on record, with statewide gaming win rising to nearly $1.3bn. The result marked another solid month for the state’s casino industry after a slower start in some Las Vegas tourism indicators.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported total gaming win of $1.30bn for April 2026. That was up 5.29% from $1.23bn in April 2025.
Strip revenue led the increase
The Las Vegas Strip remained the main driver of the statewide result. Strip casinos generated $689.4m in gaming win, up 6.58% from the same month last year.
Clark County as a whole reported $1.12bn in gaming win, a 4.75% increase. That shows the county continued to carry most of Nevada’s casino revenue, even as some downtown and local markets moved more slowly.
Downtown Las Vegas was slightly lower, with revenue down 0.62% to $83.4m. The Boulder Strip was almost flat, rising 0.08% to just under $90m.
Regional markets also improved
Several regional markets posted stronger gains than the Strip. Washoe County revenue rose 12.65% to $97.3m, supported by gains in Reno and Sparks. Reno gaming win increased 11.81% to $72.3m. Sparks rose 20.28% to $15.2m, giving northern Nevada one of the stronger growth stories for the month. Laughlin also reported a strong April, with revenue up 16.90% to nearly $47m. South Lake Tahoe increased 10.49%, while the Carson Valley area rose 6.87%.

The Las Vegas Strip was up 1.21% for the fiscal year to date. Clark County was up 1.78%, while Washoe County increased 5.74%.
Tax collections also rose

Fiscal-year-to-date percentage fee collections reached $947.1m. The figure was up 3.94% from the comparable period, giving the state another revenue gain from casino activity.
