He joins Kimberly on the show today to share what he’s hearing from business owners and tourists about the city’s economic slump. Here’s everything we talked about today: "Sin City tourism slump signals wider economic slowdown" from Axios "An Empty Strip And Fewer Tips: Is Las Vegas In Trouble?" from Time "Las Vegas is hurting as tourism drops.
