Nevada casinos generated about $1.24 billion in gaming revenue in February, marking a 1.5% increase from a year earlier and extending a five-year streak of monthly wins above $1 billion, according to state data.
The Las Vegas Strip accounted for the bulk of the total, posting $696.3 million in revenue, up 0.86% year-on-year. The Strip accounted for 56% of the statewide win.
Gaming officials noted that performance remained resilient despite softer tourism trends. Last February marked the start of lower tourism numbers in Las Vegas, but casino winnings were somewhat immune to the decline, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Revenue growth was supported by strong performance at casinos catering to residents. It was a good month for locals casinos off the Strip and around Clark County, with the balance of Clark County generating about $148 million, up 2.87%.
Other regional results were mixed. Downtown Las Vegas revenue fell 4.18% to $69.8 million, while Reno posted a 7.73% increase to $60.6 million. Laughlin declined 8.83% to $38.5 million, whereas Mesquite rose 5.16% to $17.4 million.
On the Strip, baccarat play contributed significantly to gains. Casinos won nearly $120 million from the game, with players losing about $32 million more than a year earlier and a hold percentage of 14.6%.
Despite the monthly increase, the Strip is lagging slightly on a fiscal-year basis. Nevada is ahead of pace for the fiscal year (July 1–June 30) by about $83 million, or 0.79%. But the Strip is behind its pace by about $62 million, or 0.88%.
Still, the February results mark the industry’s strength. The gaming win remains far ahead of pre-pandemic levels, and February 2026 marked the 60th month, or 5 years, that the state has recorded a win of $1 billion or more.
According to the report, Nevada has collected $775.8 million in gaming taxes so far this fiscal year, up 1.6%.
