A former Las Vegas regular has revealed why they believe Sin City is dying amid falling tourist numbers.

Vegas tourism is down 11 percent and overall visits to Las Vegas are down more than 6 percent this year, figures from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority show.

This week the oldest casino - The Golden Gate Hotel & Casino - announced a huge sweeping change. It will no longer have live table dealer games and instead replace human dealers with electronic games.

A former Vegas regular took to Reddit explaining they believe the tourist boycott is down to two things; 'the pandemic' and 'corporate greed'.

'I booked a trip and was on the strip the day some of the casinos reopened (after the pandemic) and it was dead, of course, but it was on it's way back,' the user wrote.
