"According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s most recent monthly revenue report (May, 2021), the state’s casinos achieved an all-time high in May, generating $1.23 billion in gaming revenue. This surpasses the previous high of $1.17 billion achieved in October 2017 and represents a 25% rise above pre-pandemic data from May 2019.

This is the third month in a row that Nevada’s casinos have exceeded $1 billion in revenue, with both March and April having done so.

All casino districts saw a rise in revenue, with statewide gaming revenue up 8% so far this fiscal year.
